Happy Birthday Riley (Nov. 18th)

It has been just over a week since Riley left for basic training. Without getting too mushy I miss him like CRAZY. I cry at least 5 times a day and when I look at Emmy too long it makes me think of him and then I just start crying more. It's a vicious cycle. I talked to him yesterday and he said he had to be in the "push-up" position for about 1/2 hour. Hopefully he won't have to do anything like that for his birthday. Just for my sake,...Riley you are the best man I've ever known. I love you more than anything and can BARELY wait until December 17th at 9:24pm when your plane lands in Boise I get to hug and kiss your face off. Happy 30th BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!

Let the Good Times Roll

I cut my finger on a can. It bled like a beast and luckily Sherstine was on her way over so she could super glue it. Feels like my thumb has it's own heart beat, a strong one...

Lucy turned 1 on Sunday!!! She was SO cute in her too too and crown. Love that girl!

Emmy's favorite pass time is playing the piano. What a Babe!

Karlie, Riley's little sis' got married. Riley was unable to attend. He had ' duty' (guard). It was a nice wedding

Lucy had a collision

I was looking through pictures on the computer and came across these beauties. I dedicate this post to Heidi, for her support in telling me I did look good in that duster outfit. For Jake, who made me popular because I told people GASTON is my brother. And to Riley, thanks for staying with me even after you saw me in all my glory during those dating days....
