Just a heads up

Good evening/morning all!! I haven't been around since my last post. I've had a friend of mine posting comments & checking on other things so it was all taken care of for me. Thanks girlie girl! :)

These next few months will be very busy for me so my online time will be minimum, that also includes my creative time. I'm sure I will pop on in the morning & maybe after everybody is in bed, but I doubt I will be on here long enough to really chat or anything else.
With my daughter graduating to middle school, my son graduating from Pre-School, us moving, & my schooling {4 course = 23 test & that doesn't include the electives}. Needless to say I need to keep my focus on all that instead of my online stuffies. I'm sure you all understand. ;)

Hubby, the kids, & I went by my mom's yesterday & after us walking around there for a little bit we decided that we were indeed going to try to find an apartment over there. Hubby loves the fact that it is easier for him to get to work & the fact that he doesn't have to leave 2 hrs early to make it to work on time is a plus. (I love it too} Thanks to my family & a few friends I know the schools there are good & they have a lot of extra activities for the kids. Now we are just crossing our fingers to find something there.

As you all now I am going to my grandmother's 75th B-day party tomorrow & not only am I, but the kids are really excited. Hubby will be taken off of work so he can go with us! YAY!!!!
I just hope the weather stays as beautiful as it has been.

I know there was something else I wanted to say but, I can't think of it now. I hate when that happens, don't you?
I am off to spend more time with hubby. I hope you all have a great night/day!
xoxo

Quotes

Love is stronger than death even though it can't stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can't separate people from love. It can't take away our memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death. Unknown

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. Mahatma Gandhi

Life lives, life dies. Life laughs, life cries. Life gives up and life tries, but life looks different through everyone's eyes. Unknown

If tears can build a stairway, and memories a lane. I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. Unknown

Grief takes time. You won't get over it in a month or even a year.
In fact, you never get over it. You blend it into your life, and make it part of you.
Unknown

May loving memories ease the pain of your heart.
Unknown

Live, love, and laugh often, for you never know which moment is going to be your last.
Unknown

No farewell words were spoken, no time to say good-bye.
You were gone before I knew it and only God knows why.
My heart still aches in sadness and secret tears still flow,
what it meant to lose you, no one will ever know."
Unknown

OUR LOVED ONES LEAVE THE WORLD, BUT NEVER LEAVE OUR HEARTS!
UNKNOWN

Though you say goodbye to yesterday... may you hold it in your heart forever.
Unknown

When Someone You Love Becomes A Memory, The Memory Becomes A Treasure
unknown

You can shed tears that he is gone,
or you can smile because he has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that he'll come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all he's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him only that he is gone,
or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what he'd want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on."
Author- David Harkins

your life was a blessing,
your memory a treasure.
You are loved beyond words
and missed beyond measure
