Bitter Sweet Memories!

When I looked at my blog tonight for the first time since........ Jan. 09 I immediately began to cry. I'm still teary eyed right now typing this post. As I went through all the pictures and relived all those special times Aaron and I had together I realized that in that very moment I had no idea what was about to happen to me. My life was going to change forever! It was bitter sweet! My life changed forever in a great way, my son and not so good way, cancer.
Instead of reliving through that hard time and catching everyone up to speed I'm going to start from this point on. Fresh! And what better way to start than with Relay For Life!!!

I DO!!!!!!

Rehearsal Dinner

Most of you already know but for those that don't my brother got married on January 10th. It has been a very busy 2009 for my family. A wedding and a baby all in the same month. I thought some of you would like to see some of the pictures from the busy weekend.

John, Chad, and Lonnie

This is a picture of my brother and one of his very best friends from high school, who flew in for the big day.

The Bride and Groom mingling with everyone.

My mother worked so hard planning this event. Everything turned out perfect. The food was wonderful and the atmosphere was very romantic. Everyone had a blast! The slide show was the best part that Aaron and Mike put together. There wasn't a pair of dry eyes in the place.


The BROTHERS looking handsome as always!

New Years!

New Years 2009!!!!!

We have this tradition, 4 years running, where our original small group gets together every New Years. We normally go to Houston to visit but this year I was not able to travel since I was 36 weeks pregnant. Soooooo, our friends came here! Tommy & Jessica and Nathan & Heather came to McKinney to visit for a few days. As you can see from the picture of the boys we always have a good time when they are around.

New Puppy!

Aaron's dad got a puppy for Christmas! It was a suprise from Norma and Leah. He is so sweet it makes me want to get another dog but I guess I will have my hands full with a little one soon enough. :)

Christmas 2008!

Christmas came and went so fast this year. It must have had something to do with me being 9 months pregnant and my brother's wedding. All I could think about was that Aiden would be here soon, just hopefully not on Chad and Erin's wedding day. Here are a few random Christmas pictures of '08. Aaron and I got a video camera for Christmas so most of the time we were playing with that instead of taking pictures.
