I am Sitting here with my daughter Erica up stairs of my house, we made a cute apartment for her and her hubby.. I love them being here So much, my life has changed incredibly its like I am a new person and the mom I was before we lost Ryan. I guess I was grieving the lost of her as well as Ryan.. My house has noise again, this time it is a pleasant, they are like grown up adults. I knew it was the best thing for her going to live in NJ at MC Quire AFB for 4 yrs. It looks like they will be staying until next summer before Chris gets deployed for there next adventure, Yay!! Sense the Government shut down things are put on hold for them.. I'm happy as peacock, lol.
Every thing is working out great, Erica and I spent lots of time together, Walking the dogs through the trails in the woods up to a hugh hill with a tower on top over looking for miles. We have met lots of people with their dogs on the trails, Lots and lots of trails. It is neat we meet up with bike riders, joggers, in the winter cross country skiing..
We go shopping together, go to the gym, she keeps on me when she catches me eating fatten food, lol.. So I'm thankful for her help..
Erica has a part time job, dental assisting, she needs to further her schooling to be a hygienist. It is hard for her cuz she doesn't know when they will have to move.. Idk, she is young only 22 year old she has plenty of time.. She helps me when a rental apartment goes empty to clean up and paint for the next person rents them, thank god it is randomly when one comes empty its a lot of hard work, but I work a half day, cuz of my COPD, lung problem, I get SO tired, I can't do long hours or I wouldn't beable to go in the next day, urrrrrr, it sucks!
Oh in December she is going to NJ to pick out her black lab puppy, they were born Nov 5th...Its funny Erica was born Sept 5th, I was born Oct 5th, and her puppy was born Nov 5th..LOL!! It is weird cuz the mother and father of the puppys are both black, there were 4 yellow labs and 3 black.. They want a female black lab and 2 are female and 1 male.. Erica has the 1st pick, lol well she doesn't have to much of a choice... Me myself would want Both, lol Crazy BUT true!!!
The holiday's are coming and it will be a special year this year for sure!!
I am sorry for not being on DS FMO much, I've been a little hooked on FB, FMO.... I want everyone to know I think of you often and love each one of you. I'm not much of a writer But I'm a great listener..
You moms who are on fb please let me know your full name so I can be your friend.. Mine is Kelly Scamman, it is fun to be in both groups cuz we can read and if we want all we have to do is acknowledge you when you write something with thumbs up, especially for us to know we see you and when we do meet we feel as though we have always been friends..
Joanie, I know you don't feel as though you don't have time for FB too, but it is also nice to scroll and read reading that uplift us for the next step of the day.. I love it, and you really don't need to say much.. You know I'm a listener, and others are natural at talking and knowing what to say.. I'm not gifted to write, hahaha, but that is me as well as others are.. I love you and miss you Joanie, Juicy Smooches to you sweetie!! XXOO Kelly

So very happy that you are happy. The puppies were born on my Cory\'s angel day. New beginnings. Much love for the new living arrangements. Peggy
Kelly, look for me on FB. MaryLou Richards Freund
Hi Kelly. I don\'t go onto FB much but it seems more and more people that I know and love are so I just might use it more often.
My name is Theresa Curley
Hugs,
Terry
Love hearing how you are and I\'ll bet that beautiful face of yours has not stopped smiling! :)
Oh, Kelly, it\'s all good and of course you hang on FB and just know that there will always be a heart with ears here too. I say wherever we can feel supported that\'s the way to go. :)
Oh, a new fur baby too... Nothing better and as those healers with four paws.
You write beautifully my friend and are the best listener too so it\'s double the healing when one has a \"Kelly moment.\" Just sayn...
Lots of love dear one and tell Erica to give you a tight bear hug from me, K?!
XXOO Joanie
It is wonderful to \'hear\' you feeling good.
It will be fun to have a puppy to cuddle!
I share my birthday with Erica. I was born on September 5 many, many years ago.
Love and hugs,
Marlene
I love you, sweetie and so happy that you are enjoying this time.
Peace
How wonderful to have Erica and her hubby so close! It really does make a difference in our emotions and general well-being. XO

Continued blessings for you and your family. Erica is such a special lady enjoy each other!!!! Love to you, Kathy
Sounds like you have a great thing going...so happy for you. Big Hugs, Ann
I\'m glad that things are going very well for you...and the puppy sounds very cute...Labs are such wonderful dogs..who doesn\'t ike a lab, right?! Altho I had a Golden Retriever (you know, the AirBud dog!) that was SCARY... to the poor man who wouldn\'t even get close to her through the car window...Poor guy had been bitten by a big dog when young...and was scared stiff of dogs...even my goofy Daisy fluff-fluff...Have a great week! Love, Donna
Wow, I\'m so jealous of all the happy happy in this journal, no one deserves it more than you beautiful! I miss you, I love you and IM STILL WAITING FOR MY PHONE CALL, you and Christi are not keeping your promises! But it\'s good to hear happiness is the reason, hope its the same for her. Kisses in the wind to you and Ryan tonight!
