Missing You

So it's been quite a while since I've update.

My brother spent a week with us and my sister came down with my two nephews for a few days, so my mom had a full house, which included friends of mine and Ray's. It was a week long party, pretty much.

My car's almost fixed, I've started the process to get state funding to get my CNA and my testing date is on July 1st. I am also praying and waiting for my heart's desire.

I've been writing lately, which is good because I've got several stories that I need to update.

And I've started reading my Harry Potter books, but I am alternating between book and movie. I have the first five books and the first five movies...uh, interesting.

I just realized I don't have much to update, except for some pictures, of course. Enjoy!!!

And don't forget -RAWR.

This is my little brother Ray with my best buddy and the love of my life Jaden. The last time Ray saw and held Jaden was sometime last year. I think Jaden was about five months old or so. My brother held him like he was holding a bomb...it was quite humorous.

For that reason, I wanted to get an update picture of them two together. And for some strange reason, I absolutely LOVE this picture.

I want to print out copies so I can have one, give one to Steve and Krysia and send one to Ray.


My mom was absolutely happy having her baby home for the week although the underlying sadness of him heading back to Iraq was there.

We're hoping he gets to come back to visit again before he takes off. He's still having to do some more training, which doesn't sound fun at all.



And here's the family in it's entirety (children, parents and nephews/g-children), which included the inside dogs. We're missing my Jr., a chow-chow that lives in the back yard.

Anyway, my mother was absolutely happy...can't you see it...oh yeah, question...


This picture I love because it shows the tender heart that my brother possesses which I know isn't all that evident what with him being a soldier.

I got into calling him an "M&M" and this picture just reinforced my belief that my brother is a big teddy bear...and when he says RAWR he's actually saying "I Love You"


Oh, one more picture...that would be the sibling picture...we are reversed in height compared to age...in other words, the oldest is the shortest and the youngest is the tallest...And I'm still in the middle. I hate being the middle child, I really do...Anyway, do we look anything alike?
