This month I was happy about: vacation. This month I was sad because of: random reasons…really don’t remember. Something I accomplished this month was: getting my office space moved.

After my Dad passed away and I started thinking and I thought about ways to be able to keep just a little bit of Dad’s ashes. He wants his ashes spread in the Florida Keys and I hope to be able to go down there soon. I wanted to be able to go down there before the end of this year, but I’m not sure I’ll be able to swing it. Oh, I digress…. Anyway, I found that you could order necklaces. I asked my brothers if they wanted one and if so to pick one out and let me…

I recently took Alex to get his eyes checked again. He got an “upgrade” on his glasses and chose these snazzy specs! How grown up does he look? Ahh! Just can’t get over this boy and the fact he’ll be starting 5th grade in a couple of weeks. WOW! He took this picture for me on our way home from picking them up. So cute! Here he is wearing his new Braves hat…again along with his new glasses and trying to look limbless. 🙂 Love this silly dude so much.

1. An every year fall family activity is selling popcorn door-to-door through your neighborhood. 2. You have camping stuff piled up in your living room (year round). 3. You don’t think twice when your entire families clothes smell like smoke when loading the washer.

This month I was happy about: Drew getting a job. This month I was sad because of: Father’s Day and missing my Dad. Something I accomplished this month was: not much of anything, it doesn’t seem like.

I’m sure I depressed everyone with my posts about my Dad over Father’s Day Weekend. However, today marks 6 months since he’s been gone. My brother’s post on Facebook saying, “Wow six months,” I replied: “Ugh. Hits ya in the gut. Sometimes it seems like yesterday, but others seems like he’s been gone forever. However, my brain still seems to think that I can call him up to ask him something or share something funny. I guess that may never go away.” I’m amazed at how the pain hasn’t subsided. Maybe it’s still too early…I don’t know. Since I was…

Rob got an award at work. Yeah, he’s been at this job less than a year and is already getting recognized. So proud of him! He got a certificate, the shirt he’s wearing in the picture, and a day off! Below is a picture of Rob, his boss, and his other coworker who got the award.

1. What are you reading? Tell us about it! I’m in between books right now. However, I think I’m going to start reading, That Summer, by Sarah Dressen. I’ve been wanting to start reading her books and we just happened to have that one in at the library right now! 2. Library or bookstore? Well since I work at a library, I know all the ends-and-outs of using books for free. 3. What book(s) have you read and re-read several times? I am a huge fan of anything Beverly Cleary. I grew up reading her books and continued the trend…

I’m just not even sure how or where to start with this post. The past few days I’ve been in anticipating Father’s Day rolling around and have been seriously dreading it! It’s not surprising that “Father’s Day” takes on a new definition when your Dad dies. My definition of Father’s Day now includes a tug in my heart knowing that my Dad is no longer just a phone call away. Instead, I’ll get a lump in my throat thinking back to last November and December when he suffered physically and mentally, only because he saw what was going on with…

When my Dad found out he had ALS, he knew he wouldn’t be able to ride his bikes anymore. He told me in one of our conversations that he planned to give Drew his nice mountain bike and Alex could have the smaller bike. He explained that the bike Drew was getting was a really nice bike worth quite a bit of money and would cost quite a bit to keep up.
