Long trip home

We arrived back home from Oklahoma last night around 11:30pm. Momma Dee's service was very nice. I wish my friend didn't live so far it was hard to say goodbye. Big Bobby (Kim's dad) was the hardest to leave. He had really only 5 words that he said to me most of the time when we were kids "don't you ever go home?" No, I never did. This family has meant so much to me over the past 20 years and it is very sad to see one of us gone. I know that out of all the love and all the memories I can still laugh and love her as if she was still sitting next to me.
Good bye for now Momma Dee, 'till we meet again, I love you.


All this has made me really think about who I am not just obvious things about me but what's really inside? It's hard to really look in the mirror.

I pray that the Lord will open my heart to be the Godly Daughter, Sister, Wife, Mother and Friend that He intended me to be.

My momma Dee.

I give this post in honor of a woman that has truly inspired me from childhood to adulthood.
Momma Dee! The mother of my best friend in the world, my only friend, Kim West.
Dee went to be with the Lord Saturday morning.

Baby, you better believe it Momma Dee's got her flip flops on now!
We must rejoice as she is doing right now! She's finally made it home.
I LOVE YOU MOMMA DEE AND I MISS YOU SO MUCH, THANKS FOR ALL THE TIMES YOU TOLD ME I WAS RIGHT AND ALL THE TIMES YOU TOLD ME I WAS WRONG. THANK YOU FOR THE LOVE AND SUPPORT YOU GAVE ME WHEN I WAS A KID AND HOW MUCH YOU LOVED ME WHEN I HAD KIDS OF MY OWN AND LOVED THEM AS YOUR OWN. YOU ARE PART OF WHO I HAVE BECOME!
SAVE ME A SPOT IN THE SAND OK!

ARIZONA UPDATE!!!

Ok, I know you are all thinking...... She said Arizona..... and then NEVER said anything else!

Well, to all you impatient (me included :) !) people out there,
YES!!! We ARE going to move!

As far as details, I just know a lot of things must be done before then.
We were given an anticipated date of "sometime in August!" That's fine with me! I have to pack up our lives and move across the country!!!!

I will take as much time as I can get before the flood of boxes, bubble wrap, newspaper, garage sale and 18+ hours on the road!!!!!!!
Not to mention unpacking!

I can say I have been assured by the City of Queen Creek Animal Control AND the main hospital that the nasty little demon creatures called scorpions, are not cause for as much concern that I obviously have!

You are asking... Did she really call?? UH YEAH YOU BET I DID!

I once got a "fun fact" email that said turtles can breathe out their butts!
I called the Dallas Zoo and asked the worker in the turtle department! (yes I said turtle dept.)
She said THEY CAN PASS GAS but as far as any normal breathing NO!

Anyway, If you know me, you are not at all shocked at this post! And to those who don't,
I KNOW YOU WISH YOU DID!
