Rough year......

So this year has been a pretty rough year with losing friends and family for me. I lost my two wonderful grandparents in January and then Molly's mom in July and then a very good friend Tiffany a few weeks back. It really makes you rethink your life and how you are living it....whether or not you are living it to the fullest and getting the most you can from it.
I went to Sheli's (the family hair stylist and great friend of mine) and she made me realize some things. She was saying that when her grandma past away last year that it made her think of her life and what changes she needed to make.....to be happy. And then on my way home from my amazing haircut I started thinking the same. I ALWAYS say that I am going to lose weight and I never do anything about it. I may try and start "drinking more water" but within a week that is over and done with. I say that I want to start "reading more books"...well I hope you know I just finished my 2nd book in over 4 months (I know to some that is forever to read the same book but not for me)!!
I say that I want to try and make more time for my friends....and depending on who you would ask I already do. Some think I give more to my friends than I should but I wouldn't be who I am today if it wasn't for some of them.
What I am trying to get at is that this is now my time for change. I want to be the great mom that Colin deserves. I want to be the best wife that Mark deserves. I want to be the best friend that all my friends deserve. And most of all I want to be the woman that I deserve to be.
So this blog I am dedicating to Tiffany. In spite of losing you; you helped me realize that I need to start living.
Love you Tiff!!!

I think I get it now.....

Ok so the real reason why I suck at this is because I really don't get how to add the pictures and fun stuff like that. Knowing that I work in I.T. you would think I was super smart at the whole computer thing but I guess I should learn how to use the tools on the website!!
So we just got our family picture done last Sunday by a friend on mine that I hadn't seen in 16 years...well on myspace but that doesn't count. Her and her husband just started a side business of taking pictures and I had to get ours done so who better to do it!! Anyways ALL the pictures turned out great. It is so hard for me to choose one but I want to share few on my favorites with you.
Here is the 3 of us.


and my favorite one of him.....


And momma and Colin


And Mark and Colin....too cute.

Soooooo now that I get how to add pictures in my posts I will try very very hard to be better at blogging.
