I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

I Love My Man!!

With a new semester starting, and all of the crazy things that have been going on in the world, I am so grateful for Anthony. I could not imagine my life with out him. I am so proud of all that he has accomplished in the last few years. I know that he doesn't just do it for himself, but for me and the girls, and with another girl coming I am sure that he feels surrounded and out numbered. Let's face it, he is! But he is great with it all. He is such a great dad and I know without a doubt that our girls look up to him and love him. So do I. I know that there isn't anything in this world that he wouldn't do for us, and for that, I am eternally grateful. I love you Anth!

I like your new layout. Please call me! I want you to teach me how to put my own wall-paper on mine too...instead of the pre-done ones.
