Rough Day - Rough Year!

I've really been missing my dad today. Well, every day I miss him - but especially today. It seems when things get rough for me, or I get stressed out - I miss him more!!

I miss him telling me that everything will be ok. I miss his jokes. I miss his smile. I miss his hugs. I miss not being able to call him to babysit the kids.

I just miss him - that's all!

Everyone says it's all in God's hands and God's time. I have a hard time believing that. Dad was taken way too early, and way too young. I never thought I'd be without him at my age. I never thought my kids would loose their grandpa when they are so young.

It's just hard. I'm so glad that he's not suffering anymore - but, I just want to talk to him again.

California

Dusty and I took a quick trip to California with his mom and dad. John and I had meetings for the Rose Parade (which we are going to next year), but those meeting were short and we were able to enjoy the rest of the days there. Tuesday was our meeting day, Wednesday we went to a band show and also went to Hard Rock Cafe and to see the Hollywood walk of fame. Then Thursday was Disneyland - it was crazy busy, but if you know me, you know that doesn't stop me from going to Disneyland! And then Friday we came home. It was hard being away from the kids for so long, but we had a great time.

December Catch Up

Here are a few pictures of Myles birthday. He had a great birthday and was spoiled as usual!

We also started a new tradition this year with the Miller family. We did a progressive dinner so that we could see every one's decorations. It was a long night, but fun. We had soup at our house which I think everyone liked. We had our good friend Pancho with us, which we loved having him there!

Christmas was great - a little too short, but still good. The kids apparently had been good all year because they got spoiled! We also had my mom with us which we loved! The kids liked having her there to see them open all their presents.
