It's going too fast...

I always feel this way the week before Christmas... I will never get a thing done! Oh well, I am hoping that my children will find it in their hearts to forgive me. We will do what we always do, eat... A LOT, and then hang out playing with some of the fun things that we have gotten for Christmas. I hope that everyone has a WONDERFUL holiday and enjoy each other!! I LOVE YOU ALL!

HAPPY 8th BIRTHDAY MAMIE!!
I do hope that your birthday ROCKED!!

I love you sweetheart and I can't wait to see you again!

I finally made the decision!!

I have decided not to continue in Health Care Administration, and I have also decided not to continue with University of Phoenix. It has served it's purpose. Prior to going to UOP I was unsure of how I would do in college and now I know. I still didn't know what I wanted to be when I grew up when I started so I chose something that I had some knowledge of and hoped for the best. All of this sounds like bad news but in reality, the best is yet to come. I will receive my associates degree after my grades are posted and I have finished my last class on June 7th. I will start my bachelors program in business administration with a minor in human resources at Indiana Wesleyan University on June 21st. I haven't been this excited in a long time... so what is the first thing I did after going through the process??... Bought a hoodie that said Indiana Wesleyan, of course, LOL!! From everything that I have read it is an amazing school!! I have applied at the hospital again and hope that I will hear back some good news, if not I think that I am applying for an internship in admin at Eli Lilly. Wouldn't that be the bomb? If that doesn't pan out either I have looked into an administrative internship at (insert drumroll here) .... St Jude Childrens Hospital. Yes Dad, that means what you think that it means. Eventually I will have crammed enough information into this skull of mine to make some money with it.... I hope. So that is my good news for now, OH and I met a new friend today... IN REAL LIFE!! She is super sweet and has some of the cutest kids ever!! I can't wait to hear about all of the amazing things that have been happening for all of you!!

Mat's Email Address

Matthew has a new email address if anyone would like it. He is able to check it in their common room computers. Eventually he would like to get a laptop but I am guessing that it will be a while. Like when we win the lottery, lol. So here it is:
MatClarkNY@yahoo.com

He has already started getting some of the cards,lol. He has no idea that I am up to 70 people who have promised to send him one.

Welcome to the World Sawyer Bryan

Sawyer Bryan Harrison was born on December 4, 2008 at 5:20 am. He weighed 5lbs.5oz. and was 18 inches long. He has the most beautiful blond hair and blue eyes... and looks just like his big brother and sister. Here are his first pics.





Auntie Suz is so proud!!! :)

i almost forgot about the waiting....

Considering the fact that two weeks ago I celebrated my youngest childs 14th birthday and today... well, yesterday here, I celebrated my oldest childs 19th birthday I think it is a fair assumption that enough time has passed that I would forget. My best friend Mysti has been talking about having just one more baby since I met her. It has been a bumpy couple of years, some really low points that will never be forgotten and a whole lot of waiting.... So here we are, again tonight... waiting. If I had wings I would fly out to stand by her bedside so that she wasn't waiting without me... but I can't and so I wait here. Some time between now and morning a long awaited bundle will arrive... and I hope to get to share this news with you in the morning. I am praying for you, Mysti and Sawyer, Jeremy and the kids and my thoughts are forever with you. May God bring Mr Sawyer into the world with no complications so that we may be able to enjoy every minute.... every smile, laugh... everything. Until I get the call... I will be waiting.

Happy 19th Birthday Mat!!!

I honestly can't believe that it has been this long!! You have grown into an amazing young man! I LOVE YOU AND WISH YOU AN AMAZING DAY!!!!

I GOT IT!! WOOT WOOT!!!!

Okay, so who knew that it would be so dang hard to get an address, lol. I also posted his address on a couple of sites and I am pretty sure that the boy will get a bajillion Christmas cards. I am hoping that it makes this first holiday season away from home a little easier.

Here it is, the elusive address,lol!
