Support systems are great

Hello everyone,
Well, I am posting to say that things are getting better and better with each passing day, and life for our family is slowly but surely getting back to normal. I would not be where I am today though without my great support system, they have just been awesome. From family, to my best friends Jenn and Nutz, to friends I have known pretty much all my life Bekah and Wendy, to college friends in Luke, Doug, and John. Also all of you with your supportive and nice comments have been great as well. Jef, I really appreciated that email that was really nice of you, and I might just start yacking your ear off someday, hope you don't regret it haha! :) So, basically this is just a big thank you to those of you who have been there for my family, and myself I couldn't get thru this situation without you all.

Like I said slowly but surely our family is trying to get back to life as we know it. It's nice that we're a super tight family to begin with so we can lean on each other through this. One good thing that has come of this is that some of the stress that was in our family, has disappeared. Our family pulls together in time of crisis. It's said what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. Well, if that's true then I think I can lift a mack truck.

I ask that you just please continue to keep my family in your thoughts and prayers, and I apologize for lack of comments, I am making a goal of getting back to being a dedicated blogger by Feb! haha.

Phats
By the way Shannon, sorry about the eagles, but so happy for my boy Brees and the Saints America's New Team!

Glad things are getting better. It looks like the Saints just might do it. Chicago certainly didn't look to tough vs. Seattle.

As long as the Patriots don't win the Super Bowl, I'm happy.

Fuzz- Saints have become America's team for sure

Kathryn- GO HORSE

Phoenix- Not a Pats fan?

Phats, I was just SO glad to get on here this morning and read this post. I really didn't think you'd have posted anything, but was so pleasantly surprised to see that you had!!
Yay, that's just SUCH good news. Isn't it awesome to have such a loving, supportive family? I know that I wouldn't have made it through some of the difficult times in my life without my family beside me. I really feel for people who don't have that!
Well, the two teams i'd been rooting for were Seattle and New Orleans. I just hated that Seattle lost on Sunday, but SO excited for New Orleans. I really do think that they have become America's team this season and everyone is pulling for them! I've always really loved the city of New Orleans (had a GREAT time there about 2 years before Katrina) and have felt so much for what they've gone through.And Drew Brees is just awesome--the best qb left in the playoffs, in my opinion! So . . Go Saints!!
Keep in touch!!!
{Hugs and prayers}

I'm so glad you and your family have each other to lean on....

That's how families are supposed to be. :)

Cheryl- I am posting every now and then, will try to get back to something more regular in Feb. and GO SAINTS! Drew is not only a hell of a QB, but a hell of a person.

Pissy- Thanks :) you planning my wedding? haha

Phats - It's great to see you around again!! I hope everthing is getting better!!! My Cowboys are gone, so are the Seahawks, so Now I guess I'll go for the Colts......

We got your back pal! It was GREAT to chat with you the other day - much love from MA!

Gary- Go Colts, and Saints! what a great super bowl eh?

Wendy- You rock, you smelly cat!! :) Next time you are home we are getting together gosh darn it

Glad to hear things are getting better Phats. Take care. And unfortunately I have to pull for the Bears this weekend. My Pops is a huge Bears fan. But I am pulling for the Colts, does that help?

Shife- Oh I like the bears too!! I am for the Saints though but won't be too disappointed if the bears win. Orton is on their roster, and someone from Purdue will get a super bowl ring. Brees NO, Orton Bears, Gardner Colts, Rosie Pats I am sure there a few more but those are the notables.
