I Haven't written in my journal for quite a while now...Some of you have met my daughter Erica from being at the FMO retreat in Gatlinburg Tennesse...It was our first retreat together, we will never forget the time we had with all the moms we had met...We were up in the smokey mountains, which we called "The Heavens"...Actually the name of the Chalet we stayed in was "Touch of Heaven". We had a wonderful crew of moms who we enjoyed so much...Actually I would love to take that same trip again...SOMEDAY MAYBE!!
Erica and Chris planned a trip to the Bahamas last week. Chris proposed to her in the cockpit of the airplane...She said Mom, it was 7am in the morning, she was tired and alittle grumpie. She was confused why they were sitting in the cockpit of the plane. Their friend was taping it on video but she didn't realize it until the ring was on her finger, then as she turned she saw her friend filming it. They showed it on facebook...ILMAO, it was too funny... The captain of the plane announced it on the intercom, as they were walking down the Isle to there seats. It was St. Patricks Day, she had her brite green pants on... I don't know their complete plans yet. I know their planing a trip to Hawiia. Chris's dad is an airline polit..They asked his dad for 2 tickets, I guess he gets 9 free tickets a year...I'll keep you posted on this event!!!!LOL....
I have been grieving the loss of Erica in a way too. Even though she is in N.J...Atleast I know she is doing well and keeping very busy. She is a manager at a coffee shop at the base,(Chris her bf is in the airforce in NJ)...Erica also cleans some planes on base a couple times a week for Xtra money. AND, She started school 2 weeks ago to be a dental assistant..She already went to school for a LNA or a CNA. it depends on what state you live in as what they call it..( Nurse assistance ).....
I'm having a very hard time with my new life, without my kids....I feel as though I'm back at the beginning of my teen years trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up, LoL... But my body and mind isn't working well together, soooo its a whole lot different...Sometimes I feel as though I'm gonna lose it, and have a break down.. Thats where my head takes me...My mind is like being alone in a Getto neighborhood, NOT A NICE PLACE TO BE......LOL......
My computer is all screwed up, has all kinds of viruses, and I can't get my email. I procrastanate, and don't take it to get fixed, like everything else I put on the back burner...Doing better though, I'm voluteering at a day care for the elderly one day a week, I really like it.. Its fun..We laugh, play games, etc..
What is going on with this site????Is everyone else having the same problems, NO Activities.....UHG!! I HATE IT..........
I'm going to Utah For the retreat, I can't get emails so I don't know whos going? I have a room Thurs night to tues morning...I gonna do the hot air balloon too.. I'll send Teri the check soon...plus for the T-Shirts...... I miss all of you and I'm sorry I don't write much, I have been in a RUT, speechless lots of the time...Wishing you all better times, and I hope it gets easier then it has been latly.... Love you ALL!!!!!Hugs Kelly

I can\'t wait to see you Kelly! I am going to Utah but not doing the balloon thing. I am so happy to hear how Erica is doing! Love you, see you soon! Belinda
Hi Kelly, Congratulations to your daughter Erica and to you as becoming a new mother in law. I pray you will find peace and comfort in the Lord.
I am sorry you are feeling alone but this too will pass and from this new grief you will become stronger in the Lord.
You are doing the right thing in helping out at the elderly daycare. What a joy it is for them to see you.
I also pray that your computer gets fixed soon,
Hugs & God Bless,
Judy
Wonderful news! My best to Erica and Chris! Can\'t wait to see you in Utah!
