Happy Birthday Alissa!

Alissa, Grandma, Erin

I don't have a updated picture of Alissa scanned yet and my scanner is broke so I found this from a couple of years back. In the picture with Alissa is her favorite cousin Erin and my grandmother who has since passed and I am sure is with Alis during this time. Alissa would have turned 8 this year. I just wanted to do a small post to remember her. She was totally a little girly girl and could rough it with the boys. I remember when ever she talked she would put her hands on her hips and give it to me. We always danced and played when ever we were together. She was a little princess and I miss her terribly every day. I know that she is here among us and I can't wait until I see her again. I wanted to share a dream my brother in law had of Alis. He said that he saw Alis standing there and he asked what she was doing. Alis said that she was fixing rainbows. Paul asked, what kind of rainbows? Do you mean prisms? Alis stated that her job was to make sure all the little rainbows had the right colors. I can really see Heavenly Father giving Alis the job to make sure little rainbows are correct. She would be really good at that. As much as I and my family misses her, it is really nice to know that she is with heavenly father and our family that has since past. Love you Alis and looking forward until we can dance again in heaven.

Vegas Baby!

Dale and I have free trip to Vegas in a couple of weeks. Looking at the economy it may be the last trip we take for a while. I decided I wanted to get to Vegas by Jet Blue airline so we would not have the wear and tear on our truck and easier for us. I also wanted to stay a night early to make the most of our vacation. I called the Ventian and because of AAA and Military discount I got us a 411.00 room for 79.00. I am just so excited. We have to sit through an 1 hour presentation on timeshares, but I am thinking, a free trip, 3 nights, whats an hour out of my time. It's been a long time since Dale and I have taken a trip with just us. I will be sure to take tons of pictures and make sure I blog everything.

Whew...it's October already

I cannot believe how fast this year has gone, although I must say that I am pretty much done for the year. I have never felt so at lost, so much sorrow, gratitude, depressed, and grateful for my life and family. It's going to be Christmas soon and the economy so bad, I will be glad to just be done with the year and start anew or as new as possible. WOW! What a depressing entry! I found a poem that I had written a few years ago that pretty much sums up about the months that have past. Remember that I am not a poem writer, however the words just seemed to flow and I had to write the words.

People
So much pain and sorrow in the world today.
How can one find their way.
Through the darkness I roam
with my heart a breaking

When the tears start to flow
and the sun beaming down
I can see my way through
knowing that this was just
a test, to learn to take risks.

Nothing in life is easy
and it was meant to be
this way.

The people we meet in our lifetime
are our gift to us
Some will bring us heartache
and there will be those that
we spend the rest of our life thanking
god above,
for the joy that they bring.
