Mother

She's lovely and beautiful in such a way

She'll lighten your heart when you hear her say

"I love you, how are you, good morning, goodnight"

She'll make you smile even in spite

of sadness or worry and you'll hear her say

"Cheer up grumpy, it's a lovely day"

What a lady my mother is

She never takes, just gives and gives

So much love she has for us all

She's strong, courageous and a wee bit small.

Mother of many hear us say

WE LOVE YOU MOM

Happy Mother's Day!

Art is beautiful

I've been working on a lot of stuff lately, really excited about it all. I finished doing the logos and cards for one company and they are thrilled with my work, which is great. I will soon begin working on this painting some friends of mine want, it's gonna be a tough one but they're paying me the big bucks for it so all time and effort worth it. I'm also in the last stages of completing that childrens book Jaana and I had begun over a year ago and we will then be trying to get it published....so excited!!!
Other than that, just getting our stuff organized for the move upstairs. I'm really hoping the apartment is cleaned because the previous tenents were pigs and it was a disaster last time I checked. I would hate having to clean up someone else's mess. At the end of the day life is good, we're broke but happy and thats all that matters.

Big move for everyone

So mom is waiting patiently for Simon and the kids to move up. I'm praying for you guys. Dan and I are also moving soon. Not quite as big of a move, we're only moving 3 floors up in the same building! LOL! We couldn't get a mortgage so now we decided to go with a two bedroom. We need the extra space for Kassy and my artwork; which by the way is picking up. I have sold another painting for $375! YIPPEE! I am also working on the entire stationary package for a up and coming renovations company! Yeah! So prayers and love to you all and I just hope things work out smoothly for you!

Love Story

Amazing it is to be in your arms

they enfold and keep me away from harm

I love your smell as I'm pressed into you

manly and loving your charm does subdue

my very being down to my core

the love I feel has such allure.

Wonderment and awe is what I feel

for the man from whom I can't conceal

anything I'd thought I had to hide

with him I sense so much pride

for being me, just myself

it's all I've wanted and nothing else.

Thank you Dan for entering my life

I hope one day to be your wife.

A wonderful moment

Today I had a feeling of such amazment in one moment I still cannot contain the smile it puts on my face. While at work I stepped outside and though it is fairly warm the rain started to trickle down gently. I suddenly heard music coming from somewhere and it was beautiful. It was some old song from the 20's or 30's, it sounded like Billie Holiday. It just created this...feeling of wonderment even though today wasn't much different than any other day.

Surprises!

I can't wait to reveal what has been going on with us lately! The one thing that I can talk about and that hasn't worked out is buying a house. It's really unfortunate that our credit isn't good enough because we make enough money and it's just such a waste paying rent every month. But God works in mysterious ways and maybe now isn't the right time. So we are praying and waiting till next year to go ahead with that endeavor.

On another note I have to say I am really really thankful for Dan; I can't say it enough because he is my rock, my knight in shinning armor. I go through these crisis' and feel so lost and alone and he is always there reminding me of his love and respect for me. I admire his candor and ability to make the world a beautiful place for me to live in with him. I love you all so much! Stay tuned!!!

Bump in the road

So like I figured we've hit a bump in our plans, but we are still working towards trying to get past it. Dan is so encouraging, I get bummed out and he reassures me that everything will work out. I know they will, it's just getting there that's sometimes frustrating. I hope and pray that you all are well and happy! Pray for us that we can move forward. Thanks!

April Showers bring May Flowers

So I am very excited to say that Dan and I are moving forward into a new era in our relationship. We have decided to quit being silly and really focus on growing up and getting it together. I'm thrilled but I won't go into any details of what we are doing until we do them, because there is always the chance of things not working out. Anyways, a good start to a new month! Its 12 degrees today and I'm excited for the warmer weather!
