My Fur Babies

2009-06-28T18:50:00.004-05:00

What family would be complete without furry friends. We have two very loving and completely dependent fur babies. the oldest, Diva, is true to her name. She is 8 years old now and she rules the house. Diva, became part of my life when I was single and living by myself. She is my first baby and she will always be special to me.

After Brenden was alittle over a year old, I started wanting another child. I asked my husband to get me a puppy so it could take the place of my baby yearnings. It was way too soon to get pregnant again so we got Abbie! Abbie, is a little special. She is alot like Odie from the Garfield cartoons. But, we love her.

And she never took the place of a baby. A year later, we were pregnant again!

Learning To Add Pictures

2009-06-26T11:16:00.003-05:00

I have never really had problems when it came to computers, but learning to add things to this blog has been a learning experience. This hasn't been my first attempt either to blog, but I hope I have more patience this time.

I am trying to learn how to add pictures today. So if this works, you will be able to meet my family. My husbands name is Matt, he has been a true blessing in my life. My rock! My oldest child, Brenden, will be three in July and my baby girl, Samantha, is six months old.

First Post

2009-06-25T14:29:00.002-05:00

I have been trying for sometime now to setup a blog, but with my very busy schedule it has been putting things on hold. Right now my house is a little quite, so I decided to start the setup process. I hope with some guidance and a little help that I can have a great blog.

Right now I better get back to finding items for this weekends garage sale. I am trying to make room in my home and eliminate some of the clutter.
