Let's see, by your way of counting it would be the 20th. anniversary of your 28th. Birthday !!!

I asked the Kids if they wanted to post, but they are not ready yet. Give them time.

It's been a tough week, emotions running pretty high in all of us.

!!!! We miss you so much !!!!

My biggest struggle is talking to the Kids about their feelings over loosing you. I think we're still all more comfortable just not bringing it up as far as that last year goes. We do however say a lot of : Remember, how Mom would like this or that, or things like that. Luke a lot less, but you two were exceptionally close. And while Anja is still pretty attached to me, I  think she is struggling more right now. But then I have been wrong before.

The new Dog Luna has been settling in all to well, but since I can't let her offleash I ended up taking to going Jogging with her ( Yes, I know, I always said I only run if something is chasing me but I needed to get off my Fat Butt) I think the cats are plotting something though.

We have been to Hoodoo a lot this winter, Luke can almost keep up with me on his board. Anja's last Volleyball tourney will be on Sunday she has quite the talent and I hope she keeps doing it.

Give Jesse a hug !!

WE LOVE YOU

 Here's a link to a song that I love to listen to when I'm a liitle down:

Continuing to uplift your precious family in prayer while you continue to miss your sweet wife, mom.

Know that many of us have not forgotten her either and miss her greatly as she made an incredible impact on so many.

Blessings,

Sue and I celebrated You today. How? We went to a used bookstore in honor of what you would be doing if you were tagging along with us on girls day. I missed you today.
And still as always, a bit envious. Keep dancing!

Just discovered that you are blogging on here agian! It is good to hear how things are going. We are still praying for you guys regularly. I think of Lori and all of you every time we sing 'How Great is our God' in church! I can remember reading her blog through tears while listening to that song play on her blog! It still chokes me up everytime we sing it in church! praying for you all as you continue to adjust.

I am so glad you are still posting. I have thought of your family and prayed when you come to mind. I do not know you or your family . Your wife'sstory hit a chord in my heart and has stuck with me. It is so easy to take life for granted when in the day to day. I tend to be too much of a Martha , the things your wife shared on this blog challenged me as a mom . I admit I had not read her blog before. Her death impaceted me and I grieved for all of you . I cannot imagine what the last year and a half has been like. I will continue to pray when the Lord brings you to my thoughts like He did this evening.

I am crying listening to one of my favorite Garth Brooks songs. Thank you for continuing to share your life. I pray for your family daily. Lorrie sent my photos of your family and I keep them in my broom closet door so I pray for you when ever I sweep or grab an apron.

I miss you Lorrie. Happy Birthday
