Well it has been a while since I've blogged here.. but ok here goes..
I had surgery 1/27/09 they removed my Gall Bladder... Yikes.. and there were over 250 gall stones.. the dr didn't want to count anything after that but did say there was still tons to count.. (Scary) plus I have had 2 root canals done as well..
Feb 13th had a girls night.. Carolyn, Des, Erica, Michelle, me.. minus Diva.. (who had sick kids)... we went to see Shopaholic... cute movie.. then out for dinner.. we had a good time.. I love our "Girls" night out.. away from kids, and hubbies..
I have been busy getting my house ready for spring, and trying to get the clutter out before then.. I have been going back to the gym.. tell ya how that goes later..
Life has been good.. We are blessed to have such great kids.. I truly know they are good.. God blessed me with phenomenal family and friends..
Justin is turning 13 this week.. (uh, hello? where did the time go) and Kim starting her drivers training this week as well.. here's the funny thing.. I don't feel that old to have teenagers.. haha... I mean I still get carded when I go get a glass of wine somewhere.. (that's a good thing, right?)

Luv ya...... JP

Today is a day of sadness and confusion for me. I have lost family members in the last couple of months, and many family members have not been well.. I have comfort in knowing the ones who have left this earth are at peace with God. It looks like we will be heading to California again for a funeral. As I get older I seem to forget that my family is getting older too.

On a different note,

I have to go to the dentist again today, for hopefully just a filling, but I have a feeling it will be another root canal. I had an appointment to get it fixed in February but HELLO?? I guess it wanted to get fixed now!

White Holiday

**GOD IS AWESOME**
Having this wonderful portrait from my window is absolutely wonderful and needless to say a beautiful sight.
I'm truly blessed that I get to see first hand what God can do.
SNOWFLAKES ARE ONE OF NATURE'S MOST FRAGILE THINGS,
BUT JUST LOOK WHAT THEY CAN DO WHEN THEY STICK TOGETHER

The roads are white and frozen over! It will be so slow driving, but what a view to

savor and hopefully I can still see snowflakes dancing as they fall
from the sky!

Winter, a lingering season, is a time to gather golden moments, embark upon a
sentimental journey, and enjoy every idle hour.

Pink Brunch

LOOK AT MY DAUGHTER.. SHE'S BEAUTIFUL.. WE GOT TO SPEND THIS WONDERFUL DAY TOGETHER. ALSO LOOK AT THE CENTER PIECE. I THINK WE HAD THE BEST TABLE

THIS WAS OUR FIRST PINK BRUNCH AT VALLE CHRISTIAN.. WE HAD A GREAT TIME WITH MANY MORE TO COME.. SIS. JEAN PARKER IS THE PASTOR'S WIFE.. SHE'S SUCH A GREAT PERSON.

FOOD WAS SOOOOOO YUMMY!!!! THERE WAS MORE THEN ENOUGH AND A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING.

Dealing with Life

Today I found out some of my friends will be losing their jobs! I'm devastated for them. In today's world it's so hard to find a decent job. I pray for those how have lost jobs, homes, etc.. I also pray for those who think it won't happen to them. Bad economy hits everybody. With the job market the way it is and the lose of other things, I wonder what will become of our country. God said to trust in him, and that's where our faith needs to lie...

I felt compelled to write a little something so people can try to understand how I feel. To my friends, and you know who you are.. If you need anything, I'll try my best to be there for ya..
