29-0!

First off...way to go Tigers!!!!! That was such an awesome and intense game...but it was soooo well worth it! Jeremy, my cousin Natalie, Crystal, & I got to go and I'm so glad...I wouldn't have missed it! Of course I've caught a lot of crap about it (I'm from Gibson Southern) but hey...I'm supporting a Gibson County team and I know alot of people from Princeton...so for this year (after GS was out of it) it was GO TIGERS!!! As far as I see it...until Crystal gets into school we can root for who we want...lol!

That has been pretty much how our week had been...getting ready for that game. So now what do we do???? I'm glad it's warming up outside cause we have a garden that we will be tending to. It's almost time to start mowing again. I think Crystal and I will jump on the mower towards the end of the week and chop some grass down. I'm so glad it's starting to warm up. I can't wait to go out and hunt some mushrooms and start grilling out and spending the days outside!

Well...it's kind of short...but that is all that has been happening since last time I blogged. I hope I can figure out how to put some more pictures up here...so bear w/me and I'll try.

Love'n this Warmth!

So...if you haven't heard...Princeton is on their way to Semi-State!!!! It's sooo awesome to have a Gibson County team like this. Everybody is making a little fun of me because I'm from Gibson Southern...and I've been cheering on the Tigers. It's like any other sport...when you're favorite team is out of play...you cheer for the next best. It's been soooo much fun going to the games and I hope they make it to State and win! Crystal loves going to the games too. She has worn her cheerleader outfit every game. I'm soooo excited because she has shown interest in cheerleading and likes cheering w/the cheerleaders.

What else have we done since I blogged last??? Oh...we took my mom and dad wine tasting for their 39th wedding anniversary. That was fun...and by the end...my mom and I were feeling it a little! We bought them 3 bottles and ourselves 4 bottles. Last night we opened up the Apple Wine from Windy Knoll...and I had only 1 glass and was on fire!!!! It was good though...but I was hot and giggly...so I know I felt that one little glass...God help me...lol!

Could ask for better weather either. We got some carrots, peas, and lettuce planted in our garden. We've also been working on the camper and getting it cleaned because we are going to take it out this summer and have some fun! Crystal has been dragging out all her outside toys and power wheels and riding all over the yard! Oh and we've been 4 wheeler riding and looking for sheds...but no luck around here yet. Jeremy found a pair over the weekend...I think it was a 7 pt. I just am sooooo glad that it's starting to get warm outside. All my pretty flowers are starting to come up and I've got some that are blooming. All this warmth, blooming, and new life bring me hope for my future. It makes me a little sad because I know Mason would have loved to be outside in this...so I hope Heaven is getting lots of warm weather too. Jeremy and I were talking about all of our family & friends that's up in Heaven and what Mason could learn from them. I hope they are teaching him well. We still miss him greatly everyday...but I know he's in good hands and watching over us.

Just a lil note

I had to blog a little to let ya'll know that we made it home safe and sound from our Nashville trip. We had a blast and the Opry was AWESOME!!!! We'll be going there more often! I did have a hard time being that far away from Crystal...so I had to call and talk to her when I started feeling down. I was glad to be home and get a BIG HUG from her!

We had to miss Sat. night big game between Pton and Memorial...but I had a friend texting me giving us updates to the game...Thanks Matt! Pton won...so this weekend we are going to Washington to watch them in regionals. It'll be neat if they win all the games on Sat. too!!

I LOVED that warm weather we had earlier this week. I had my nephews on one day of it and we all stayed outside the whole day!!! As they and Crysal are getting older...I make them my little helpers...so that day we loaded firewood into a barrel and pushed it up to the porch. They had fun doing that...for about 5 mins. then they were bored with it! Oh well... :-)

This weekend will be full of fun. 1st we are leaving Friday to go to our friends, Steve & Natalie, house. We are staying there Friday night and then going over to Washington for the ball game on Sat. morning. Then on Sunday we are taking my mom and dad wine tasting for their 39th wedding anniversary.

Also...this week has been rough for me (just ask my sister-in-law)...so please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Also keep my mother-in-law in your prayers. She has wanted sooooo long to work as a chef and finally got a chef's job @ GGH. Well...this week they told her they couldn't afford to have a chef @ the hospital and that her job was getting cut.

On the upside of things...we had that nice warm weather and me and Crystal got to be outside playing and relaxing. It never seems to amaze me...but Crystal always knows how to make me smile and make my bad days end good. Thank you God for Crystal and Mason and I hope I'm blessed with more children just like those little two.

4 months

Sorry I haven't been updating like I should. With the nice weather we have had...it's hard to stay inside. So there is my excuse.

Well...the Mickey Mouse thing went good last weekend. Crystal had a blast and was in aww when the characters would come out. However...Jeremy & I have decided that we think she might like going to concerts better. She didn't jump around and sing like she does at concerts...but she still had lots of fun! Her little friend Cali and her baby sister, Maci, went and Cali really enjoyed the show. Once I figure how to pictures up...I'll post some. I've found how to post pics...but how do you get them to be throughout the text on your blog??? Any ideas let me know!

My main reason for this blog is to shed some light on how we are all doing 4 months after loosing Mason. I can't believe that tommorrow will be 4 months! Some days seem like it was just yesterday and other feel like it's been a lifetime. There hasn't been a day that goes by that I don't think about my little boy and everytime I look @ Crystal I think about what he could have been. It upsets me...but @ the same time I think "Wow! Heaven sure is being entertained!"

I hadn't had any major crying episodes for awhile until last night. I had eaten something that gave me some gas (sorry for sharing that...but it's important to the story). For anybody who is a mother you know that gas bubbles feels so much like kicks and moves. Well...I felt those bubbles moving around in me and the 1st feeling I thought of was Mason moving. That's all I'm going to say about that because for those of you who have experienced this or you really know me...you know how I felt the rest of the night. But just as the dark cloud started coming over me...I heard Crystal's little feet come running into our room. She climbed up on our bed and snuggled up to me. That was the greatest feeling and I needed that to remind me that no matter how many bad days I have...there is always something good to end the day with. Usually I or Jeremy take her back to her bed...but I wanted her to stay because as much as she thought she needed us...I needed her even more.

Things are getting back to feeling normal. I still need my exercise in the morning to get me going strong...but I probably should be doing that anyways. I know my little man is in many good hands and is probably making so many friends. I also know that he ordered this nice weather for me because he LOVED when I would be outside. Any nice days that we have had...I've tried to be outside and just sit and enjoy. I've also met a really nice girl who recently experienced something similar to what we went through w/Mason. Our background and stories are so similar and it's nice to be able to actaully talk to somebody who is experiencing this too. Don't get me wrong that my friends and family has been there for me...but it's different talking to somebody who just knows.

We have another big weekend planned...but this time it's just for me and Jeremy. Friday night we are going to the sectional game; Pton vs. Boonville. We are going back to Nashville and going to the Grand Ole Opry on Sat. night. We get to see Carrie Underwood and Josh Turner!! We have awesome seats too...10th row! We have to miss the last sectional game...so I hope Pton wins so we can see them @ regionals! I can't belive I'm saying this...but Go Tigers and let's keep it Undefeated!!!!

Before I sign off...I just want to take a moment to thank God for everything I have here and for those I have in heaven. In these past 4 months I've realized how important the small things are in life. I can't begin to tell you how much I love my husband and Crystal and even though our time w/Mason was too short...I love him just as much! Kisses and hugs to my little angel!
