Wrapping my head around it....


Or however the saying goes. I know I have 2 years yet...but, the past 15 have gone so fast that I cant not imagine how fast the next two will go. We are getting SOOO much information from colleges that I almost dread getting the mail. Its just coming and coming. Everyday. More letters. More emails.....more more more. But listen here, I am not ready to let her go. She is my sunshine on a rainy day. And even the 1 argument we have had in the last year, I am not sure who was saying they were sorry first her or me. No need to point out who was wrong, I just wanted to be with her and talk with her. And it feels good. It feels good to know that she knows that God put us together for a reason. And I thank him for it every day!! But its all happening to fast. She will be 16 in 2 months. 2 months. Then she will drive, work, drumline, youth group....but I also do know that when the weeks have been long. There will finally be a night she gets home, and I will know she needs me. She will crawl on my bed and just start talking. And once she starts, I move over, share some blanket and let her talk. Those nights are awesome. I love those nights. Little tired the next day at work. But well worth it. Its been fun, as Josh is also starting those late night talks. I think we were up till 11:15 the other night. Me, Jeremy, Josh and Amanda. We talked and talked and then talked some more. I think that was the night that they both understood, that we understood, some of the things they are going through. I love my kids. I love them. And when I look at them I see these perfect, wonderful beings.....I will stop my ramblings with a wish for everyone to see perfect when they see there kids. And with one of my favorite sayings.


Two great gifts a parent can give its child, one is roots, and one is wings.

Big Daddy's GREAT trip......


SO excited for Jeremy!! He has finally had the trip he dreams of!!!
For Christmas this year, Jeremy asked for nothing, well nothing but the big one he has been chasing for so long.....
He was able to join up with 3 great fella's for a trip to Canada for some sitting on a slab of ice. I sent him a text Monday morning that I had a feeling today was his day......
And his day it was, about 10 minutes later I got one back, he had just caught a 29"!!!! The whole day was awesome for him. He didnt go over the 30 like he would love to do someday....dont tell him, but I am ok with that, I dont know how I feel about a fish hanging on our wall......(really, you dont have to quickly call him to tell him that....he reads the blog....)anywhoooo.....
We are having so much fun listening to him tell stories of catching these fish. So this time I will NOT figure out how much each Walleye filet costs.............
Love ya Big Daddy!!!
