New post, for all of you sick of looking at the old one.

I LOVE our new home. It is incredibly gorgeous and the layout is completely functionable, even with my mom living with us, which I am also LOVING.

I am so blessed to have three COMPLETELY unique, different, amazing children. I thank God for them in my prayers, daily.

I am so thankful that Preston has advanced as well as he has and has many short term goals that he is rapidly closing in on.

I'm thankful that Kailyn has toned down her extreme hormones.

I LOVE my children's school and love being on the PTA and volunteering even more.

I have not ONE single complaint in my life.......and that feels great. Peaceful. Happy. Content.

What MORE could I need at this time in my life? You're right. NOTHING. So for now.....i'm rarely on the computer (due to the fact that I still don't have on) and I am savoring every perfect moment I'm blessed with.

May all of you have a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving and give your families a great big hug and kiss from ours.

    hey, i don't know if you've seen what'sbeen going on lately, but in photgraphers world, the op's refuse to remove a pic that's soft porn. so, me and some friends are trying to get as many people as we can to leave the group in protest- can we count you in? those of us who are leaving will be creating an alternative photography group

Hey carol, since i know you'll be the only one checking this entry out, i did it! :-) Myspace seems so much easier than this....i can't figure out the sharing photos yet......how did you hear about this?
  • carolattheriver

    Hey Laura this is a long lnst cousin Karen (Sisco) Stover. My Dad Fayne Sisco is your Mom's cousin. His Dad was Louie and your Grandpa Bill was our Uncle. We've actually spent some time together but it's been years. The last time I can remember was at one of the last family reunions we went to which was in 1980 something. Just wanted to say Hello! It is a Small world huh! Tell your Mom hello from Fayne

    Hello, Carol's cousin. If you want to include the photos from your rooms in your post, use an html tag like this:
    <img src="/pictures/40131.jpg">
    using the room number as the file name.

    Wow. I just figured out who you were. I've never met you, I don't think, but have met your parents. My husband's parents were good friends with your mom and dad and your dad baptized my father in law and his entire family (frank and carol snapp). I had the pleasure of worshipping in Bellingham back in 1992 when I was single and roadtripping through Canada with a friend.
