I was hoping NOT to write this

But here it is.
I was going to write it a while ago but i really
needed to talk with Jeff before laying it out there.

I had the opportunity yesterday (BIG YAY) to talk with him.
We have had this conversation or a similar one many times.
It never gets easier.
Hubby felt it should not be blogged about.
Umm humm, I didn't listen.
There are a few out there that have read my blog since the get go.
You know that hubby married me when I was quite ill.
Personally, I think I would have run the other way.
Just the fact that he felt we were destined to be together
still gives me chills.
The fact that he took on a woman with a serious illness and
a special needs adult son says how wonderful he is
AND
I should be listening to his point of view.
What a good wife I am -hehe!

O.k, I found another lump.
Not going into detail but I can tell you that I am a little nervous.
I see the "man" tomorrow.
I have always had wonderful Dr's and I am grateful
for that.
Yes, I have Faith and that has carried me through.
I know it is not over till God says it's over.
Period.

I am praying for a long, healthy life.
I have a new gran to meet in September and pillows, etc to make.

I just wanted to let you know what is going on.
You are the best.

Sorry hubby for not listening.
love you.

MHR Friday

If it is Friday, it must be My Husband Rocks! Katy Lin came up with this idea a while ago and I think it is pure genius. With so much negativity in the world it is a nice change of pace.

Next month, it will be our 5th anniversary. Yayyy!

When our friendship started to get serious, I thought how great it would have been to have spent my entire adulthood with this man. What I know now, is that everything I experienced ( both good and not so good) made me into the right person for this man.

We have had an interesting journey to say the least. I am so glad he came into my life when he was supposed to. When you least expect it.......

Honey, if you are reading this at work- "I love you more better"- hehe.

A port in the storm. MHR's a day early

The sweet Katy Lin started My Husband Rocks several months ago and I try to participate often. It's fun and it definitely is something positive since there is so much negative talk in this world. O.k, I am getting off the soapbox to bring you this weeks episode of my husband rocks! It is a day early but tomorrow is a very hectic day.


Love has no limits, no bounds. A lot of you already know that my husband knew my children before I had even met him. Although my children are grown, my youngest is still very much a child. My husband knew from the first time he met him. He treated him no differently than he did my oldest son. Once I was introduced into the picture (my oldest son played match maker) I saw that he saw my son as no different from any one else. How refreshing is that? He did not judge (trust me, I've seen a lot of that over the years), he accepted his limitations and health problems as being very normal. Not a problem.

He knew the road would be bumpy, o.k., beyond bumpy at times but he still wanted to be a part of our lives.


I was very used to taking care of everything myself. It is wonderful to have a partner that has learned over the years what is important in life. He is my port in the storm and I am very proud to call him my husband.

Does he rock? You betcha he does.

If it is Friday....

it must be my husband rocks!
Again, thank you Katy Lin for starting a Friday tradition.

Since my hubby is camera shy, this picture is standing in for him today.
It was taken in Utah a couple of years ago.

The sign is appropriate because he does lift me up. He realizes from time to time I do need a little extra "support". When life gets a bit difficult, he is the first one that offers words of encouragement and support.

With the FDA Globalization act of 2008 looming over the future of small business owners, he knows that I am concerned. The words of wisdom came, "If this door is closed, one will open that will be even better than you could imagine".
How great is that? Rock on Hubby!

My husband rocks Friday!

What is missing today? A picture. My husband is kind of camera shy. I am surprised we had the previous shot from a Christmas party. I guess I could always post up a wedding picture.

Katy Lin
at The Great Adventure has a wonderful Friday theme. Since I think my husband rocks, I will try to faithfully participate every Friday.

My husband works pretty long hours like many do. He always calls on his lunch hour and of course the subject of dinner comes up. We both like to eat. A lot! Quite often he will announce he is cooking.
He is a great cook so I have no objections. He is very creative in the kitchen and on the grill. With the intense summer heat, the last thing I would want to be doing is standing outside grilling. He loves it! Wind, rain, whatever the weather, he is my grill man.

So, this post is to you my fabulous grill man.

P.S. Tattingchic

Gave me a wonderful award that just tickled me pink. Another post will be up hopefully later on today. Thank you my friend.

My Husband Rocks!

Katy Lin over at The great adventure
came up with a marvelous Friday theme-My husband rocks.
She is a newlywed and really is committed to honoring her marriage. When I read her post last week, I decided to participate as well.

I consider myself a newlywed also. October 10th we will celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary. Yay! My oldest son introduced us (yes, he was playing match maker). Ray was Jeff and Dorothy's neighbor. In fact he knew Jayde from the time she was born. My youngest son would go over and visit his brother so he knew Ray as well. Talk about fate!

My husband rocks for many reasons. He gives unconditional love not only to me but my children. He thinks of them as he would his own. He adores our granddaughters. He makes me laugh, he is there for me when I need to cry. He is supportive of whatever I would like to do. I think he brings the best out of me.
He also has the ability to bring the best out of others.

I still pinch myself sometimes- love at almost 50! I am living proof that miracles occur.
