So, I know it's been a LONG time since I've posted, and yes I just started a couple months ago, thanks to my sister, Stephanie. But, come on-give me a break, it's been crazy around here!
Last time I posted, I was just telling about my crazy life. Boy, I didn't know it would get any crazier. My father has been battling an infection in his foot for some time now and in February they finally had to amputate it. Now, anybody that knows me or knows of me, knows just how much of a daddy's girl I am & always will be. Even though I acted like it didn't bother me one bit, it scared the hell out of me! Probably worse than it did him. He's always been someone who I can depend on to be there no matter what the situation is, and as time passes, I realize he still is the same daddy I've always known. He just has to do things differently. Now, he's healing just fine and even has his fake leg. Can't keep him still.
My sister, Stephanie's cancer came back, worse. But she's damn sure a fighter, because now she's cancer cell free. Even though she's "cancer free" they're still going to do a bone marrow transplant, to make sure it doesn't come back again. I know she'll heal just fine, after all she's been through, NOBODY could think anything else. She's got two precious daughters to fight for, and let me tell you, that's all the motivation she needs. She's a GREAT mother! One day, I hope I'm a good mother like her.
Not everything that's happened lately has been bad, thank god! We've had a new little one join our family. Ashlyn Ann Andrews was born just the other morning, Monday May 20th. She was a few months early and only weighed 3 pounds 5 ounces, she's going to be just fine. She's got her daddy in her for sure, and he's a fightsy one! My brother, Jake (or we call him "Crow") came home the same day Ashlyn was born from serving a tour in Afghanistan! There's no words to exlpain how happy I was when I saw him get off that bus after 11 long months! He's every bit the same Crow as he was when he left. But, I think we can all say we can sleep a little better knowing he's back in the U.S. And, I told him after this deployment, he couldn't take his hiney anywhere else like that place was. (: I'm so proud of the man he's become. I never though he'd ever go outside of Alabama, much less go to a different country! But, I'm proud of him and all other men and women serving for our freedom!
Me and him.
This picture melts my heart! It's Ryan Mac (one of his and Cj's best friends), Crow, and Cj as soon as they saw each other. Crow just grabbed them.
We've also added a new vehicle to our family. Yes, Cj finally got rid of that duley I hated OH SO MUCH! We now have a 2005 Duramax, of course it's lifted! It's what Cj's wanted for a long time and I'm so proud that he can finally have it, and hey-I love driving it. Every time I've drove it, it never fails, someone always says something about the truck being nice..and yes I get those creepers trying to hit on me too. They'll say "Hey baby, nice truck you got" and I'll politely say "Thanks, that's what my boyfriend says too!" Thankfully most of them get the hint to go on. But this is getting too long, so I'll talk to y'all later, and leave with a picture of Cj's new "baby".
This picture makes it look small. Trust me, in another year, I'm going to need one of those small step ladders to get in it!
Bye Y'all!
