Boy, Am I Behind!

Wow! My sister-in-law, Melissa, is movin' and groovin' with her blog and I am way behind! Not too much is going on, except that me, Riley and my mom are all SICK. We have sino-bronchitis, or something and it stinks. We're all on antibiotics, but mine involves 3 pills a day for 10 days because it has to be a low dose since I am still breastfeeding. Riley gets his done in 3 days, which is good because he HATES it! Melissa and her 'fam' have headed to Dallas to stay with 'Aunt Tracy' tonight and they're heading to San Antonio tomorrow morning. I'm jealous, as Chris and I have to work tomorrow and will just hope to get off as early as possible and head that way. We're having to take a different route to avoid as much traffic as possible, but the different route involves small towns and stop lights, so we'll see how long it takes.

This Thanksgiving will be one of mixed emotions, as it will be GREAT to see everyone, to exchange our Christmas gifts (the kids will be so CUTE), and to celebrate all we have to be thankful for, but it will be one of sorrow because it will be our first holiday without our beloved 'M'. She was such an amazing woman. Most of you who read my blog knew her (heck, Tracy and, of course, Melissa, knew her better than me), but for those who didn't, she was just the most amazing woman who you could ever be blessed enough to know. She was someone who knew exactly what it meant to be thankful. She was so thankful for her life, her family, God, everything, and she spread those thoughts to those around her. This Thanksgiving I am most thankful for the opportunity to have known her for the many years I did, I am definitely a better person for having her in my life, I think we all are.

Bob and 'M'

'M', thank you for loving me, thank you for being such a strong inspiration in my life, thank you for showing me how wonderful life is, thank you for Melissa; she's been such a blessing in my life, thank you for Chris; my darling husband who I love dearly. We will truly miss you this Thanksgiving, and Christmas, but you will be in our thoughts and our hearts forever. I love you.
