Life can take its twists and turns, ups and downs, and sideways even. Gene and I have been in Colorado for some time now. As of this last March, it has been two years for Gene and this July it will be two years for me. I have made some great friends, but I still miss my family. Gene and I have no children living with us now and so we are now empty-nesters. I am loving it! Yes, girls I do miss you! In February, Gene and I went to watch Whitney run in Indiana; it was so much fun. We went for the blessing of my beautiful granddaughter, Emarie. She is so adorable and has the longest eyelashes.
Last December, we had a great surprise from Sarah and her two children, Bridger and Kenna. The Thursday after Christmas, my doorbell rang at 10:30 at night. My immediate thoughts were, "Wow, UPS, is working late." Dani opened the door and I came to see who was there and of course my eyes started leaking immediately as I hugged and loved my grand-kids for about 5 minutes. Then I went and hugged Sarah. We were all laughing and we had so much fun together. We a great surprise!
Little Ryker is not so little anymore. He is huge and is all smiles. He crawls now and even has taken a couple of steps. It is so much to see him and to realize he is just one happy baby.
