OKay, so now I know I have my angel sitting on my shoulder and sitting high and pretty. She has been watching out for me this past week and I am so grateful too.

Here i sit on the bed with my Tina talking about all the new wonderful changes coming in our lives this week. Huge changes and oh man are we ready for them.

I went to lunch with an old friend today, drank strawberry margaritas and ate spanish food, yummy! I really enjoyed myself alot. We spoke of MayLyn often, cried together and had special memories that we shared of my daughter, it was well worth the date. I was really glad that I had gone. Specially since I had resigned from my job this past week we wil not be seing each other much anymore.

Speaking of resigning from my job, I am sure you all know that I have taken a position with a new casino in Greenville MS that starts on the 31st. I had taken a new job but with a latteral move (same position) but with the promise for growth. Something that 6 years at Ameristar had never provided for me no matter how hard I had worked for it.

When I returned home today I had received and missed a phone call from my new Director of Table Games at the new place of employment so I decided that maybe I should call him back right away since my husband was staying the night at his new job at the same place tonight and make sure eerything was alright.

Everything was wonderful alright! He asked me if I would accept a promotion and a $7000.00 a year raise!!! I was elated!!! I got a raise and a promotion and I haven't even started my job yet!!! We are looking into getting a house there this week, a 4 bedroom that comes with 6 rentals that are all rented out and generating money already!

It feels good this new move does for sure. It all started with the trip to Charleston, I knew it was time to do something diferent, a time for change. And yes I am still scared to death but I am surrounded by loving caring people that keep me safe and all of my friends here that encourage me all the time. I know I am blessed and for the first time in over three years I can see the ligh at the end of my tunnel, something I never thought would ever happen again to me or my family.

I hope you are proud of me MayLyn, your babies are both straight A students, honor roll kids.

I am very proud of them, I tell them everyday how much you loved them and how Much I am sure that you miss them. Thank you for the love you gave to them and to me. Your Daddy cried the other night, he misses you so much and does not know yet how to talk to you like I have learned, be patient, I will work with him.

Love Momma
