Updates of sorts

I spent some time today going back and rereading my old blog, you know the one my gmail got hacked, password issues and now I can't get in. Sigh.

So many post are about my Grandparents. It has been rough two years in that department. Seriously, I still get emotional just thinking about it. I guess with the upcoming Holidays and the family togetherness, the thought about not having 3 of my Grandparents there is huge. And my one living Grandfather will be going to see his nephew that week so he won't be with us either :(

Justin's family (well his parents) will be in Florida for the holidays and his once across the street Grandparents are now about an hour away (they moved to get out of the harsh winters). So it will be an interesting year.

Justin is almost finished with his first semester of Grad School! Praise the Lord! There are small rumors that he may be done this time next year. I am still saying next May, but secretly hopefully :)

My mom has started Weight Watchers. I am sooo proud of her! She is down 20lbs and really, really doing great!
My dad's cancer scare was a scare and we still have to watch but things are looking good for now!
Brother, well he is still brother. But he is doing well and happy!

Me, well, who has time to worry about themselves?! :P  I am still struggling with weight and finding a minute to breath but things are OK. And even with all the sadness that is comes with missing family members, Justin really does make my cup runnith over :)

Show us Your Life...Family Style

It is Friday, and if you Follow Kelly you know that usually means it is time for another installment of Show us Your Life. I haven't perticipated in one in a really long time but today she is asking everyone to show off your families. She is asking everyone to show off the family you grew up in ..

These are my parents, Lynn & Hoss.

Today is actually their Anniversary. My parents have been through a lot and they have taught me so much about life.  They are honestly the two strongest people I know.  My mom has a heart of a Saint. She has been a selfless mother, wife, daughter and daughter-in-law. My grandparents have been failing over the last few years and my mom has been the first one to step in and help take care of anyone that needs it. My Dad has always put what Zach and I needed ahead of anyone else too. They have both been our biggest support system and wonderful parents.


  Zach, my adorable, ladie's man 23 year old brother. He is full of life, spunk and laughter. He is still trying to figure out where he wants to be in the world and how he'll get there, but I know with out a doubt he is bound to do great things! As much as he doesn't want to admit it - he is a Momma's boy.

Now this is Zach and my Nan (Dad's Mom), Nan passed away last June. Our grandparents were a huge part of our life. They were a true definition of what Grandparents should be. Always loving, always giving, always full of fun and always there for us. We were blessed with two amazing sets of grandparents who helped shape us into who we are today. I know my parents will make just as amazing grandparents someday.

This is my dad's parents - Nan and Pap.And this is my mom's parents - Chickie and Papaw
