Well it has been such a long time since I have been on here. Not a lot was changing but in the last few weeks there has been a lot going on. My Cousins little boy Kayden who is 3 is needing kinship placement through DCFS he is currently with my grandparents but they are not a permanent solution so me and Mark have started the process to be his kinship guardians. That being said we need to be married or Mark needs to move out until we are.

My only hiccup for not getting married was that I wanted Mark to pay his tax debt. Needless to say now that we have this opportunity to possibly get Kayden Mark has figured a way to take care of the debt. With all that being said we have set a date 1-1-10.

If any of you would like an invitation please send me your address to labradorlover1@yahoo.com I would love to have you all. This has been a long time coming for me and we are both very excited!!!!!

Tested

Well it has been a little while since I have posted anything. Things sure have been a little crazy for the last few months. Just before Christmas I had a close co-worker pass away and it seems like since then there has been this dark cloud around work. I have known several people at worked who haved lossed people due to deaths, people that have terminal illnesses and recently the company I work for did layoffs. I lost a lot of people I was close to in that layoff and it is a very hard situation to deal with. When you spend most of your time at work you feel like family. I feel like all have done the past few months is grieve in one form or another. Nothing feels "normal" right now. I am so hopeful that things will start to get and feel better. There has to be a light at the end of the tunnel.

One things that was great is my best friend Johnny and his partner Paul came to visit from Florida March 3-9 for his brothers wedding and that was a much needed break. It was one of the first times in a long time I have been able to let go and have fun and LAUGH hysterically. Of course I miss him dearly already. Thanks guys for the time we had to spend together it was great.

My brother and his wife also both lost their jobs and haven't been able to find anything. They had to sell their house and have moved in with my mom. So we are all very close now. So if anyone heres of any jobs I know a lot of people who are looking for work.

Until next time

Wonder what 2009 will bring...

Well I can't believe we are starting a new year. They last month has been really crazy some good and some not so good. I am just hoping for a better year. I'm hoping that if everything works out this will be my year for some of my dreams to come true. These are dreams I have had for a very long time...
Marriage I hope Mark will be able to take care of the things we have agreed to before getting married so it can happen this year. I was thinking maybe 9/9/09 wouldn't that be cool. The only thing I don't like about it is its a Wednesday. Only time will tell. So get cracking Mark.
Having a baby....I am so ready I have wanted this for as long as I can remember. Back in 2005 I even had a life changing event and I made a commitment to myself and my future children...this was such an amazing experience and I knew one way or another I would live that dream. With the help of My POWER PARTNER DON WHITE and other co-workers support I knew eventually this would become reality. I even started a "baby fund" and was ready to go through the process of "Artificial In*********". I Never quite got together all the money needed but know I don't have to.

This year I didn't make any resolutions but I am looking forward to what the new year will bring. I hope for all of you that it brings you a lot of good things as well.
