We all loved Oni!

For my best friend and her family. This poem helped me when my Sonic was no longer with me. Oni was such a great dog and we loved him very much. Hugs to all of you! I LOVE YOU

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

New Belly Pic

Well here is my big pregnant belly as of yesterday. This weekend we go to exchange my wedding gown for a bigger size. PLease keep your fingers crossed that all will go well! I love you all 3 that read this ROFLMAO!!!!

Hugs and Love!

For my best friend

I found this beautiful poem and thought of you. I love you and you will heal. I will pray for you at church and a light a candle on Sunday!

JESUS, IS HE WITH YOU?
Jesus is he with you?I wonder every dayI sit and wonder why he's gone

And why he could not stay

Every part of me is empty

I feel I can't go on

But then I look to heavenI hear this beautiful song:

Mommy I am with him

He holds me in his arms

Whenever I am with him

he keeps me safe and warm

He says you shouldn't worry

I am safe and loved right here

With all the other baby angels

that passed within the years

We have a special place up here

He thought that you should know

Where the Blessed Mother takesyour place for now until you show

When I hear this precious little voice

From the heavens aboveI know

that all the angels

are showering him with love

For everyone that wants to hear

their babies voice so innocent and sweet

Just close your eyes and begin to pray

and embrace them in your sleep.

Just a recent pic of my fat belly! I am 17 weeks and 4 days here. Not a great picture as it is from a camera phone.

OMG I CAN FINALLY BLOG!

Well I finally got back into this stupid site after fighting with it forever LOl anyways we are here in FL, my tummy is getting huge, I miss ny boys and my best friend. But I love being here I really do! I miss you all and cannot wait to see everyone in August!

BINGO

Well miracles do happen LOL I went to Bingo with Mrs H on Saturday (poor Movieman was sick and could not come the darn puker) anyways for the first time in my life I WON!!! I GOT TO YELL BINGO!!! It was cool, I had to share the prize as someone else got it too but that is ok, I won $75.00 I am a dork!

By the way thanks to Mrs H for dinner at Friday’s it was so nice going out with my favorite and best friend! I love ya! (even if you are not going toWar!)

My Kitty Died!

I am so sad, one of my kitties that Monica has been watching since I got busted at the apartments with them died. It was actually Will's kitty and he has been asking about her alot, he wanted to take her back to Show Low. So I have to tell him I think I will wait until next week when he is here with me.

Anyways I know it is not a mom, dad, friend, ect but I loved that kitty since she was 7 weeks old and I adopted her from the pound. She meant the world to my son and was so loving and sweet. It sounds like someone poisoned her based on what I have been told. She does go outside sometimes so it would make sense. Monica is heartbroken and felt so bad having to tell me. I just wish I could have come up with damn pet deposit so I could have kept her at my place as she would still be alive probably. Oh well. I know it is just a pet deal with it, right? I can hear Mrs H it was just a stupid cat anyways. Oh well I loved that stupid kitty and always will~

Thanks for listening.

Updates Updates Updates

First off all my love and condolences to my wonderful friend Phillip. I am so sorry about the loss of your mom. I am so happy you are back here where you belong and I still cannot wait to give you a hug!

Here is my post about our trip to Florida, I also have so much to post about but cannot do it right now. I thought I had posted this before but realized I had not so here it is:

Our trip to Florida:

Well it started off by Mr. H dropping us off at the airport at about 8:00 on Tuesday night. Our flight left Phoenix bound for Las Vegas a little after 10. We got to Vegas and our connecting flight was running late so we got some Starbucks and blew 20 bucks on the slots. We got on our flight and headed to Florida about 11:30pm Nevada time. It was a long flight, we were in the row in front of the emergency exits so our seats did not recline YUCKY!!!! So I could not sleep, Todd did get a little.

We landed a little late and FL and when I went out to meet my sister in law I was surprised with my brother being there also. We then left for the 1 and ½ hour ride to mom’s watching the Family Guy on my brother’s DVD player. Got to mom’s and we sat around had some coffee and breakfast, then mom gave my brother and I each $1000.00 for Christmas, I almost fell over!!!! She also gave me a beautiful pair of earrings for my birthday that are gold, with blue sapphire and diamond crosses and inside is engraved “God bless and protect my precious daughter” I love them and wear them all the tine! That night my mom’s best friend Gisela came over for a couple of days. She is the best! We ordered in baked chicken Parmesan and it was awesome! Jeff and Chrystal were over for dinner and afterwards we all played a game called Catch Phrase OMG we had so much fun!

Thursday was Thanksgiving and man did my mom cook a yummy meal! Jeff and Chrystal came over for dinner, as did Chrystal’s Aunt Angela. We had a really nice dinner, and then we kicked back for the night, watched moves and had a really nice day.

Friday we slept in a little then we went and saw my Uncle Mark’s new place, it is beautiful! It had been storm damaged from a hurricane, so he got a great deal on it and is refurbishing the whole thing. Afterwards we went over to Punta Gorda (about 20 minutes away) and went to a place called fisherman’s Village. It has all kinds of neat shops and a restaurant on the water that we ate lunch at. The Gisela left to go back to Boca Raton. We went shopping with my mom, got all our left over’s together and went to my brother’s for dinner and to play Fact or Crap (a fun trivia game) and also to play Scattegories. After we sat around his fire pit and made smores. It was a blast!

Saturday we went out on my brother’s boat, stopped at a beach by Sarasota, then came back down the intercoastal and docked at a cute little restaurant, had lunch and headed back in to Venice (where we left earlier) we were out on the boat about 4 or 5 hours. That night we went mini golfing and to cosmic bowling! What a busy but fun day!

Sunday we went to lunch before my mom took us to the airport, flew home, got in about 8 PM then had to drive to Payson to meet Bill and get Kenny since they did not bring him down like they said they would URRRGGGHH oh well so we got home about Midnight.

We had a great time and cannot wait to move there. Oh well if you want to see pics of the trip just go to:

Love you all!

OMG I LOVE MY KID!

Check out the card Kenny had waiting for me this morning. The cat on the front's shirt says "I was born cute" that is supposed to represent Kenny.

The inside if you cannot make it out says:

"Mom your the best of the best. If you ask why? I have listed three meanings of how good you are"

1. You feed me everyday
2. You love me so I love you back
3. You make me happy when skies ar gray (spelled the way he did it)

I love you!!!

Making it Official

yes we are moving to Florida and it looks like we will paln on leaving the first weekend in March. It is a big move and I am a little scared but so excited too! I already talked to Bill and he supports the move, which was very important to me as he is the kids dad. I did not tell him Will wants to go, we will cross that bridge at the end of the school year as William will finish 4th grade where he is at. I am going to tell my dad and step-mom when I go up there tonight. I am taking off tomorrow to go see the musical that Will has the lead in. I am not sure how they will take it. I told Doug and while he will miss me he is happy for me. I will tell his dad when we get back from Thanksgiving vacation.

We were pre-qualified for a home loan and will start looking while we are in FL next week. So many things to do. We will be moving the wedding to FL, which means some people may not be able to come, but most of my family will be able to now, so that is cool.

Anyways that is what is going on here. We are so looking forward to our trip to Florida for Thanksgiving with my mom! I am excited Todd gets to meet my brother and sister-in-law,so it should be fun.

Love you all!!!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MR AND MRS H!!!!

I just wanted to wish the most wonderful friends I could ask for a happy and wonderful anniversary! It's been a crazy ride all these years, but here you two are. I am so happy for both of you and love you both very much!

This is messed up!

Wow a lot has happened this week. Where I do I start the story? Todd’s dad had always said that when he passes the motorcycle we had down here would become Todd’s. Well in the interest of not giving things away yet last Sunday his mom asked if we could bring the motorcycle up this weekend. Todd told her we would take care of it. Well we tried to call his mom Monday, her sister answered and said she was laying down and she would have her call us. No call. We tried again Tuesday, same thing happened but his aunt wanted to make sure we were bringing the bike up cause they have a potential buyer! We were like what? So anyways Wednesday his niece calls me wanting our address, she said the church wanted to send something so I gave it to her. Well last night imagine our surprise when I answer Todd’s phone and there is a guy on it saying he is with a towing company and is here to pick up the bike. THEY NEVER EVEN CALLED US TO TELL US HE WAS COMING! I am sure she called to the address for the towing company. Todd was devastated, he already had said now that dad is gone he would be the black sheep again and they since his mom is so impressionable and never wants conflict with her sisters or daughter she goes along with what they say. They had already been talking about her selling everything and moving back to Portland, which is probably what will happen. Todd is more upset about not being called or anything then the bike being gone. Like he said he has the necklace that his dad gave him the last time we saw him and the St Christopher pendant he was wearing when he died. He does not want anything else. He feels he has not only lost his dad, but his mother and family too. I felt so bad for him. At this point he is just done with his entire family. He said that if he never talks with them again he would be fine with that and that he is grieving the loss of a family not just a dad. He said he is so glad to have me, the boys and my family to call his.

So that is what is going on here. We are just going to go on living our life, planning our future and have him check out Florida while we are there because now the thought of moving after the wedding and being near my family, one that loves each other and treats each other with respect is very appealing to him.

On a lighter not I passed my test for my Life Insurance Producer License yesterday! Woo Hoo! I did not think I would pass as I had just taken the class the day before Roger died and I did not really get to study right after it. But I retained enough to pass!

Going to Miss a Great Man

Hi everyone, this is being posted to a blog and 2 message boards so pardon me if you do not recognize some things. As you all know Tuesday we got a call from Todd’s dad that he was given two months to live. Well at 4:15 that afternoon I got a call from Todd, his mom called and told us his dad collapsed and was being taken to the hospital and to get our asses up to Payson NOW. So we went up, pretty much expecting to spend some time with him and probably come back the next day, like the last time he went to the hospital. Well when we got there he was on a ventilator and his stats were really bad, his blood pressure was like 43/25. They gave him medicine to try and pick up the vitals and make him comfortable and said we could discuss options in the morning. So Todd and I decided to stay at the hospital and send his mom home with her sister to get some sleep. They moved Roger to ICU and we were with him there for about 2 hours before they gave him some Verced so he could sleep and rest. Well I went out to make a phone call, not a minute after leaving Todd called telling me to call his mom and get in there his dad was fading fast, when I walked in the room (not even two minutes after I had left) Todd looked at me and said “He is gone” we just sat there. It was awful, Todd went outside to meet his mom and aunt, and I stayed there with Roger and just lost it. I loved that man so much, he was a wonderful person, treated me like gold and I was just so blessed to have known him. We had Kenny all this time; he was watching TV lying on the floor in the waiting room. He behaved so well, he asked to come say bye to Grandpa after he passed, and we let him. I feel it is important if a child is mature enough to handle it to not tell them no and have them never have that closure. Of course we had planned on being there only a night so we had very little clothes and with all the family coming in we ended up staying at a hotel, had to buy some more clothes for Kenny and Todd (I being a woman did have a couple of outfits) but I did have to buy something to wear to the memorial service yesterday. Can we say hello overdraft city? Urrgghhh oh well nothing I can do about it now. My ex husband and his wife were very nice, they brought Will down to us Friday from Show Low so that he could be there for the services. Will loved Grandpa Roger, they had a very tight bond and it was very important for him to be able to say goodbye. Actually when we met with the Pastor on Saturday to talk about Roger and his life we all shared great memories and at the end Will said “I just want to say he was the greatest man I ever knew” It was very emotional. I appreciate all the thoughts and prayers that have been passed on. In lieu of flowers we did ask for donations be made to the American Cancer Society, in the name of Roger E Boynton, just to let everyone know in case they feel they would like to. The service was beautiful, but now Todd, Kenny and I are home and are ready to grieve together and move on. It was very hard to do with so much craziness and family and all that up there. Last night after the service our best friends Kris and Dave took us out to dinner, it was very nice. Then my ex husband and his wife came to pick up Will and take him back to Show Low. Oh well I have a ton to do here at work. Thank you again everyone, your caring thoughts and prayers mean a lot.

Update on things going on

Hey everyone,

Well I have had quite a past few days. We went camping at Bartlett Lake for little Kenny’s 8th birthday and it was a great time. Yesterday I was sitting here at work just doing my thing when the door to the office opened and I almost fell over! It was my ex husband, his wife, their new son and my Will! I was so excited I had not seen my son in almost 2 months and did not plan on seeing him until Thursday night. It was such a wonderful surprise. Will had the day off school and they had stuff to do in the valley that they cannot in Show Low, like Costsco, Fry’s electronics etc. So on a whim they came down. I did not tell Kenny when I got home, I just told him I was taking him on a “date” to Long John Silver’s, his face when we walked in and he saw all of them was great! He had not met his baby brother Shay yet, so that was really cool. Bill’s mom came to dinner and it was great seeing her also.

I had some bad news yesterday, too. Todd’s dad had a small mass removed about 2 weeks ago from where his feeding tube had been, it is cancer. They also determined he has a cancerous tumor in his groin and on the back of his head. He has been waiting over a week now for the insurance company to approve a CAT scan so we can find out how much it has spread, but I do not think it is good if the cancer that started in his esophagus is now causing a mass in his abdominal area and tumors in his groin and on the back of his head. I just burst into tears, I love that man so much and it is a very difficult time. Todd’s mom had major surgery on her foot a week ago and cannot walk or anything. We are spending this weekend in Forest Lakes (between Payson and Heber) with my boss and his wife, my boss’s son (who I work with also) and his family. We were planning on going up Friday and getting William from dad and taking him with us. But in light of all this we decided to take Thursday off also. We will drive up early Thursday morning to Payson and spend the day there, then go get Will ( we will meet in Heber) come back and spend the night with Todd’s parents. The cabin my boss got for us for the weekend does not allow check in until 3:00pm so we will have most of the day Friday with them also.

Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers if you can. I would certainly appreciate it. Tomorrow is Todd’s birthday, so we will celebrate that also. Tonight we have Todd’s catechism class and then tomorrow night is Kenny’s. They needed someone to teach the 5th grade class so I will be doing that J I volunteered and Todd is my teacher’s aide so it should be fun! Love to all and will post again when I can! Oh and I have a ton of new pictures from birthday parties, camping, miscellaneous sill pictures etc on my yahoo photos which can be found at http://photos.yahoo.com/irish_angel72

Phillip's Party Pictures

Well the one time camera I used this time sucked! Here are two pics and the rest can be found at http://photos.yahoo.com/irish_angel72

Love you all! hernia surgery tomorrow so I will be out of th loop for a few days!

Roller Coaster of Emotions

Wow so much has gone on the past 24-48 hours that have caused so many emotions in me it is not even funny. First off Bill and Jenn welcomed their new baby Shay into the world at 3:00am on August 17th. He weighed 6.2 ounces and was 19 & ½ inches long. His blood sugar was low so he was on an IV but other then that he was healthy. I guess he started going into distress at the end of the labor (I heard this from my step-mom nobody else tells me anything). So anyways my emotional thing started on Wednesday night, I called Bill’s to talk to Will like 5 times no answer, called my dad and step-mom as that is where Will goes after school, no answer. I finally called my little sister to see if she knew where my dad was and she said “Oh they left me a message they were going to Bill’s with Will to get Will’s clothes cause Jenn is in labor at the hospital” Ok something seems wrong to me that my little sister knew where my kid was and I have not a clue. But I got over it. Then to hear my step-mom talk about going to see “their” grandbaby yesterday really had me a little wigged out. I think it is weird they are closer to Bill then to me it seems. Oh well something else I just need to deal with!

Then the next morning when Bill called to tell us about the baby I was very happy that he was ok, but made me yearn for a baby even more (I cannot wait one more year and we will start trying) plus I felt for Kenny when I told him “You are a big brother now” and he said “Only up there down here I am still the baby”. I just do not want him to have the middle child syndrome, which is even worse since he does not see or talk to his dad much. I do not want him to ever feel “less then”. The Baron and I will do all we can to make him feel special, I just felt bad for him. He is happy about his baby brother but ha a lot of mixed emotions. He told me it is weird to have a brother and not have me as its mother. Some things a 7 year old mind just cannot always wrap around a concept like “Half-Siblings”. Oh and then to hear my step-mom talk about going to see “their” grandbaby yesterday really had me a little wigged out. I think it is weird they are closer to Bill then to me it seems. Oh well something else I just need to deal with!

But yes my clock is tick, tick, ticking!!!

Then I will not use names on here but I have a friend that from the way everything is pointing used one of her customer’s credit cards fraudulently to pay a bill of her own. I am so mixed between anger, as this is so stupid and because I recommended this friend to their employer makes me feel like crap, I know this employer will not look at me different but still I did refer this person. Second I am feeling so terribly bad for them as they never told me just how bad their situation was. There is always another option and I wish I could have helped this person to come up with a different solution, as now they could be really fucked. I know the customer did call the police and after working at American Express I know credit card companies do prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. I am very worried about this friend. I know money troubles, as do most of my friends that read this, but there is always another way. I just wish they could have felt that they could talk to me. I hope I have not failed them as a friend and that is why they felt they could not open up to me.

I love all my friends and will stand behind this one as they face the music. While I do not agree or support the act I love the person and can look beyond that and my own anger. I will try to be the friend they need right now, I am not here to judge. I know some of my friends may laugh as they do not share the same beliefs as me, but for me I will pray for my friend, be a good Christian and not cast judgment, I will be there to love and try to help. I just need to ask God for the strength to help me look past everything and do the right thing. I try to do this in all of my friendships. Whether or not you believe in God and that Jesus died for our sins does not mean that I do not love you all and value your friendship any less. For those non-believers I still pray everyday for you and your families and that God watch over and protect you because that is part of my faith.

I do love you all, I look forward to seeing everyone at Mr. and Mrs. Rheaume’s tomorrow and Mrs. H do not forget weigh and measurements tomorrow see you at 9:30am at Curves!

***Mrs. H real quick this is especially for you. You are the one friend that has never failed me, never been dishonest or try to sugar coat something to make me feel better. You have been the kick in the ass when I needed it, a shoulder to cry on, someone to laugh with and share life’s victories with. Thank you so much for my being my best friend all these years. I may not have always been as good a friend as I should have been to you, but you have always been there and I thank you for that and I love you!!!***

Kenny's First Day of School!!!

Well after the little fiasco of them also withdrawing Kenny, not just William from school he was all good to go! Here is some pictures of my handsome little 3rd grade man!
