okay, now I'm really excited for Christmas...

I just found my favorite color wrapping paper...

turquoise!!!

Merry Christmas!

(but now, I don't want to wrap gifts, just the thought of it being ripped off presents and thrown away makes me shutter.....

I just want to sit and stare at it!)

Happy Sweet 16...

5 years without....

The grieving process is strange,

so much runs through your head and heart sometimes,

I miss Steve, we all miss Steve, when he was around, he made me a better person,

I think he made us all a little better,

the sun felt warmer when he was around,

it really did,

he was just one of those people,

did I mention that I miss him.... alot,

but, I'm grateful after 5 years my heart doesn't physically feel like it's breaking

and I can actually breathe,

now, I just miss him heart-wrenchingly normal....

5 years seems so long

but, on the other hand it seems like he's been gone for 6 weeks

and its time for him to make that drive back to Texas for a visit,

gosh,

I miss him!

Guess who had their first piano recital, and guess who did GREAT!

My "funky" tree is starting to grow on me!
