And this is our life....

From fall fairs to friends weddings to homecoming dances to cotillion and to our first college visit with our oldest, we continue to live out our amazing life.  Although its not been easy on our hearts lately, it is totally worth every second.

Here's to living a life with purpose and intention. For the first time ever, I am excited about the future.

A Tribute to my Mom.....

Neubie Jean Norris
1/25/43-9/30/12

When she smiled at me, I knew she loved me more than words could ever express.  I never doubted, for even one second, how much my mom cared for me.  During her lifetime, she made choices and experienced challenges along her journey, but she loved me and her grandchildren deeply.  She was always patient with my children and took good care of them when they were small, allowing Don and I to work.  For that alone....I am forever grateful! She loved being a grandmother.  She would play games, read to them, cook for them or just listen to their many stories for hours on end.  Each one of them have those memories they will cherish forever.  With her sickness, her last years were very difficult on her and our entire family, but now I finally know she is healed and happy forever.  Though we are saddened and have shed many tears, we know she is rejoicing with our Heavenly Father.  We are not sad for her, but only for ourselves because we will always miss her. Rest in Peace Mom.........
