How is it Possible???

It doesn't seem like that long ago that my Jordan was this little...




And it seems like just overnight, he grew up! My Jordan graduated from 6th grade last night! He's always been the hardest child for me to let go of. I don't know why. It just seemed like he stayed a baby for such a long time. The other 2 have always seemed way beyond their years. But, even though he wasn't my youngest, he was always my baby. I had no problems dropping Bryson and Dusty off at preschool and leaving. I wanted to sob my eyes out when I left Jordan. And that first day of kindergarten about killed me! Maybe it was those big eyes and those fat little cheeks! Or that sweet little voice! Now that sweet little voice is deeper than his Dad's. And he's sprouting a mustache, which will make his dad jealous since Steve can't grow hardly any facial hair! LOL! Now the disney channel and cartoon network have been replaced by MTV. And he always has this loud, obnoxious music blaring and driving me nuts! My boy is growing up! He's becoming his own person. And he's a stinky boy! EEWW! So, that morning routine of hair brushing and teeth brushing has added a new step- Deodorant! Hee, hee! So, I don't know how this whole thing will work out in August. I'm sure he isn't going to want to have me following him into the high school sobbing my eyes out, taking his picture in front of his locker! All I know at this moment I am very proud of my Jordy! A little sad, but very proud!

Small Town Video

I wanted to make a video that showed where I'm from. The town I come from is a very small town. I know the big city folks probably think we're a bunch of rednecks around here. But, I love where I live. I love the small town living. I like the fact that everyone knows everyone else. My kids are being taught at the same school I went to. A lot of times being taught by the same teachers I had. I like the way our town comes together in a time of need. I never realized how much I appreciated it until Trevor died and seeing the way our community was there for our family, I knew this was where I needed to be. I am home now and this is where I intend to stay! I am proud to say this is where I'm from!
