Ever miss someone so much it hurts?

Well that's how I feel about this lady right here.

Here name is Karen. She is actually my sister's best friend but I consider her one of my dear friends as well. She grew up two houses down from where we grew up (the home I still live in to this day.) She actually used to "babysit" me until I think I was 13 ! Who gets babysat at 13 lol??? Seriously ! We would play Nintendo, eat tater tots and crunch bars and have a grand old time. She was/is like another sister to me. I can remember many great belly laughs were had. So why do I miss her? We'll she moved years ago, first to California and now to Arizona. She lives with her husband and two adorable sons that I have never met. We keep up with each other via facebook but as you know that's just not the same.
I know one day I will see K again in the flesh and not just on the Internet, but until then I miss her too much.

Love you K. One day I will be in Arizona or you will once again be in New York.

A tear came to my eyes! I remember all the fun and laughs we had with Karen. She is my "other" child. I am so proud of her...she has grown into a beautiful woman..a wonderful wife and mother. Love you K

Some plans come undone...

This seems to be the theme of our lives lately but it also fit in to the semi decorating reno I wanted to do in our downstairs bathroom/laundry room. And see that was the question, is it a bathroom or is it a laundry room or heck, is it both? I decided to embrace it and decorate around it being a laundry room. I planned on painting the walls gray and one day I will get around to it. But for now I just used the decorations I had come up with to change it up a bit. Here is the before. And the after... We removed the verticals and hung a valance that we had, we had changed the light fixture months ago to make it flow better with the one above the sink. We also changed the hardware on all the cabinets to silver instead of bronze. We also added a shelf to go above the washer and dryer. This way all the soap, fabric softener and bounce sheets had a new home. I then added decorations that went with the theme of a laundry room. Believe it or not this old washboard was in our shed. Looks like ...

Lipstick messages

Yesterday was my birthday. Nothing fabulous. At this point of my age, it's just another year older. Nothing monumental, not a new decade, nothing to go crazy about.... But it got me thinking about when my sisters and I were younger, (and anyone else who may have lived here from time to time) my mom would write lipstick messages on our bathroom mirror. Most of the times it would say "Happy Birthday" to us. And if I was having a terrible week , it would be something encouraging like "I love you, have a great day." Well, I definitely miss my lipstick messages. I wish when they were written, we had Facebook or Instagram. What a cool thing to have captured. Here is a picture of what one may have looked like, not ours, but similar.

Family

I began to write a posting on July 17, before we knew what God had planned for our sweet Kim.... Kim was taken home that evening to heaven. My entire family is in shock. As I am writing this, tears are running down my face.... Please sweet Jesus watch over Kim, she is safe now with you and is in no pain. Please watch over our family, heal our hearts as we keep Kim alive within ourselves.: "I don't have a very large extended family. Some may think it is, but in reality, it's truly not. I have a few aunts, a few uncles and a few cousins. Most live in different states and many times, communication is sparse. But we are all bonded, in an unspoken way. When one of us is in need, we all speak up and rally. My cousin Kim lives in North Carolina. I have not seen her in "real life" in many years. Maybe the last time was my wedding ? ! But we keep up on each others lives via Facebook. When she recently visited my mom, I was able to see her via Facetime.... Love techno...
