Trick-Or-Treat'n 09

Its all about the costume...for all of you who know me you know that Halloween is my favorite holiday! This year my friends Steph and Darren helped me put this one together...including the wood block shoes that made me 7' tall! Yep-that huge KISS Member is me!

Life is never dull around here. I am working part time at the school my kids attend, taking a full load for nursing school, while juggling a single mom life with three kids. Between soccer, gymnastics, church activities and callings, managing diabetes, meetings, and fun kid stuff, we have our plates full! After over a year without steady income and employment, our friend offered Jason an administrative assistant job, which we are grateful for in order to ensure health insurance for Janson. Jason continues to choose a different lifestyle and lives in Henderson. He helps out with the kids when I attend school, and joined us for trick or treating, along with our amazing friends the Wildes for my traditional chili meal and scary movies. We had a blast! We even visited our dear friends Charli and Roy (in pic), who my kids call grandma and grandpa! As Missy's room-mom, I had the opportunity to do her Halloween party again...which of course is way more fun for me than the kids! At least I didn't make any kids cry this year with my blindfold game! My girlfriend asked me about my schedule and how I was doing it...without thinking I replied, "I'm not"..."He's doing it". She just looked at me and said that she had not heard that reply before....truth is, without my Heavenly Father, I wouldn't be able to go 1 day! I am so grateful for all my blessings this year, month, and every minute. I can only strive to live by faith and pray to understand His Will for me. Good-Bye to another Fabulous Halloween!!!

We're thinking of you. You are an amazing lady.

I LOVE your costume! Forget nursing - you should go into business designing costumes!

Miss you.
