22 years ago.....

22 year ago tonight I was sitting in a hospital room. I was scared and excited about the rest of my life as I looked into my first born daughter's blue eyes. I dreamed of her future and wondered what kind of person she would become. As I sit here looking at my grown up daughter, that night so many years ago,only seems like yesterday. I have watched as she has grown from a quiet reserved girl into a mature well spoken young woman. She has completed collage and now has her dream grown up job. So far. A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of watching her in action at her new job. I was in awe of her poise and maturity. People much older than her were asking her for advise on how to do their jobs. I watched her point people in the right direction without batting an eye. Never once did her confidence quiver. It's a great feeling to know the life lessons you taught your children are paying off. I pray that she always has the confidence,poise, and maturity that she has now. That she never looses her ambition and drive. Most of all I pray she doesn't lose her zest for life......

Happy Birthday Cheerleader! May all of your dreams come true......

Insurance Woos

Our insurance company has officially gotten on my nerves. Our middle DD got hurt playing volleyball in gym class last month. Hubby took her to the E.R. because we weren't sure if she broke her finger/hand or not. That's it nothing major. Our insurance company sends a paper in the mail demanding to know where she got hurt and the name of their insurance company. WTHeck. She got hurt in school in gym class. That's it. End of story. I sent the paper back to the insurance company thinking that's it. Nope. I got a call today from the hospital saying insurance doesn't want to pay the bill. What are we paying for every week? Now I have to spend the rest of the day on the phone with the  insurance company. Wish me luck!

Aloha Friday

I so look forward to Fridays. Having four kids involved in different things I can't wait for the weekend to rest. Honestly we still have running around to do on the weekends. We just don't have to get up as early. I am already counting the days until our summer vacation. In honor of an Island's life I am posting this photo of our daughter last year on vacation. We had such a great time there. Doesn't the water make you want to jump in? We had sunsets like this every night while we were there. So here is my question. Where is your favorite vacation spot?
