I just want to thank EVERYONE who made Christmas happened this year (2008). When Josh was diagnosed with meningitis we were devastated. He was hospitalized for a week and was out of work for just over a month. It all happened at the end of November and went all through Dec.

Sindra....bless you Brian and your parent's! The kids loved their doggies and clothes...as well did I. lol I wear my pink pants almost every night still.

My sisters friend Jessica and her parents adopted our family for Christmas as well and Sophie couldn't love her baby alive anymore then she already does :).

And to Josh and I's family....thank you!!! I have to honestly say that this was the best Christmas I have ever had. It brought me to tears to think that soooo many ppl. stepped in to give my family Christmas and pay our rent and every bill we have in the month of Dec. and then continued to give us the largest Christmas josh or I....not to mention Jaden, Ethan and Sophie has ever had. But the BEST part was....it reminds us and hopefully everyone else the true meaning of giving, love, family/friends and helping ppl. in need.

I love you all....thank you soooo much for what you did for us!!!! We wish you truly a Happy New year in 2009 :)

Vehicle Issues AGAIN!

This last xmas in 2008 Josh and I got rid of our chrystler to get a new/used minivan because it needed a whole new engine. Now that we have our van...we need a whole new engine again after only having it for two months. I am stressed. Its very difficult and frustrating to have to ask for rides to work and school and to the store. My parents are wonderful and have been a true blessing through all of this. Its been almost 4 months of car issues and they have been here with nothing but a happy attitude through it all. So thanks mom and chuck!!!
