She's back

Well, I haven't had much to say since August, obviously I have been saving it all up to inspire you at once. It's a beautiful fall day, November has come way too fast and we are well on our way to December. December means several things for me. One, I will be 50 on the 7th. 50 is a number that always applied to others, not me. Until this year, I have never truly felt my age. I am however starting to feel like I am no longer the carefree person I once thought I was. This year will not only be a milestone birthday for me but the first anniversary of my brother in laws passing. Tony and I know share a birthday, mine into this life and his into his eternal life. I feel privelaged to share this date with him. Even tho I miss him and would give anything to have him back, I know that he is in a far better place, free of pain and the heartache of this world. I know I will see him again one day and that he will be reunited with Terri and together they will enjoy watching Maverick play. It hasn't been an easy year, an easy end to this decade for me. I have always believed that what doesn't kill us makes us stronger so I would like to believe that I am stronger today than I was a year ago. Things are changing, relationships are ending, friendships are shifting. I watch my mother age and know that my time with her is limited. How do you prepare for these changes? All I know is that we aren't guaranteed tomorrow, none of us are promised a sunrise. I hope to make this coming decade the best one I've had. I hope to make a difference in the lives around me. To better myself physically, spiritually, mentally and socially. This is the beginning of a new day and I am going to take it by the horns and ride like the wind. I'm gonna keep on keepin on and hope that one day, I can look back and be proud of the life I've lead.

New Me

I have decided that the daily picture blog is not for me. Obviously. Why? I just don't have the time nor the desire to entertain on a daily basis. I think that I am much better when I am spontaneous and inspired. Life has thrown some massive curves over the last year, and I think I need to impart wisdom only on an as needed basis. I will try to come back and inform, educate and entertain all of my faithful follwers.
So, until the next time, I will hope that your days stay easy and your prayin knees never get lazy.

I scream for Ice Cream!


Ok, so, if you know my niece Angie, you know she's a crazy person. Fun loving, insane, totally outta control nuts. She had to strike a pose to show off her love of ice cream, I guess we're lucky she kept her clothes on! Bahahahahaha!

Lazy Sunday

I'm gonna admit it, I did nothing today. Never got dressed, never put on makeup, never did my hair, never left the house. I got out of bed around 11:00 a.m. I laid back down around 3:00. It was an absolutely fabulously lazy day and I don't regret it! So, all of that to say this, no picture. I'm gonna pull a Kelly! Bahahahahaha!

1/2 a decade

Maverick Zepplin Bruns celebrated his 5th birthday with family and friends today. As usual, we had a swim party. He did shake things up this year and decided to go with a Toy Story theme instead of Cars. Lightning McQueen is probably bummed he wasn't invited to the party! Maverick's actual birthday isn't until the 27th and we will be celebrating that in Disneyland. The only thing missing is Tony, and oh how we miss him. Maverick loved his papa so much and Tony would get the biggest kick out of the things he says and does at this stage in his life. I know he's looking out for us, and I can't wait to see him again!!!
