Short Entry and Some Pics

Hi friends!

I can’t believe it but this is the third time this week I’ve been online! First time I did an entry, last night I got to read and note and now today I’m going to post some pics. It’ s almost like old times .

Last Sunday was my sister’s 65th birthday. Wow that is so hard for me to believe! There is 15 years between us so she actually rocked me as a baby LOL. It’s amazing how close we have become in the last 7-8 years. One of my favorite parts of living here is getting to go places with her, either just her and I or we take Makayla or her granddaughter Amber. Mostly it’s errands or she takes me riding around to show me different places. And of course we almost always have lunch. The other day, in a town about 20 miles from here, there was a drive-thru Pizza Hut! I couldn’t believe my eyes LOL. My favorite places are anywhere down by the water. We’re only about 1/2 from the beach we used to go to when we were kids. I can’t wait to take Makayla there this summer.

Anyway we had a very small get together and here are some pics:

Here is Sis and her man. Not the greatest pic cause it was taken with a cell phone.

Here she is taking the candles off her cakes. Yes, I said cakeS. Don’t judge us LOL

This is my niece Caren (sister’s daughter) and her man. This is Caren’s house where we stay.

My sister, her daughter Caren and granddaughter Amber:

And of course we have to get in some Makayla pics!

Here is one of several pouting poses she has perfected LOL

Makayla and her oldest friend Jordan:

Some random shots:

My great niece Jessica. She is 21 and having her first baby in June which will make me a great-great aunt! YOWZA!

Here is Jessica with her mom, my niece Theresa:

Here is Makayla out in the yard enjoying last month’s snowstorm:

This is Caren and her son Nick, who had just gotten in from work. He turned 21 this past Wednesday.

RYN; Thank you for your note, and NOTHING you said was offensive to me at all. Jake really is a good person, which is why all this bothers me so much; if he weren’t, I wouldn’t care–I’d just get out of the relationship altogether–and be done with it…but you made some good points, and I thank you for your advice, and kind words as well. 🙂
