what i am greatful for

so i just wanted to update everyone... we have been steadily remodeling our house to put it on the market to take off to sunny arizona. i cant wait for that to happen. the original plan was for the whole family to go but now it doesnt look like its going to be that way. its a little depressing especially since the reason isnt a good one but what can you do? but i am not going to let that stop me from moving to give my son a better future. i am completely excited to be given the chance at a new life a better life. the last blogs have been not such good ones so im going to do something different this time. i want to show my appreciation for those that care about me. first is my sissy... where to begin with that girl, she has always been the other half of me. always there to guide me and help me up when i fall but never to prevent my failures which i am greatful for. i have learned alot about strenght from her. i could never repay her for all she continues to do for me. she is my best friend. next is my punky pus she has shown me how to see things through different eyes. she always pushes forward when things get tough because being a handicapped child she has no other choice. she never thinks life is bad despite her handicap. next is my sister in law lacey she has shown me unconditional love. she and i had a bad spell at the begining of our friendship but overcame it and now lets see someone try to tear us apart. she came to my rescue when i thought about giving up. she helped me in so many ways i could never tell her how much she means to me. she even gave up a little peice of her birthday to listen to me freak out then stepped to the plate and stood up in my wedding as the matron of honor she was in the best place right between me and my sissy. next would be my newest sister amy jo she has taught me to smile even when things are screwed up and how to not get upset when someone breaks a promise. next is my best friend and adopted sister ( by all of the above) nicole where to begin with this one is tough she has taught everyone she meets how to love no matter what and that even though kind ness is usually walked on you must never let it go. she has also shown everyone how to love someone past the pain and how to be optimisitic through the bad. next is the best hubby ever he has taught me how to stand strong and how to fight for what i want. he has also taught me about forgivness, cause lord knows ive need to be forgiven and have had to forgive. next is my brother in law tommy he has taught me how to laugh with my heart. though things have been bad you still need to smile and push through them with courage. next is my daddy who has taught me how to live life for everyday, never pass up an opportunity, and never second guess your heart. next is my grandparents who have taught me how to keep family sacred. after all you may have all the money in the world but let your family fall to peices and you have nothing. next would be danny and jimmy who have taught me that you do have people willing to stick up for you and protect you till the end of time. and the best for last is my son xavier who has taught me courage, strength, love, compassion, understanding, hope, miracles, and the true meaning of life. that little boy has been there through everything, the good bad and ugly. he has never lost sight of what was important and meaningful. he had mad me mad, scared, happy, excited, and loved all at the same time. he truly is my reason for bieng here. he is the greatest thing i have ever done.
thank you to everyone who has touched my life in one way or another after all with out those memories i would not be the person i am today.
THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF WHO I AM!!!
