So it's been a long time since I myself have actually posted so here I go. It being November and right around the Thanksgiving holiday I am going to post about what I am thankful for.

I am thankful for my family. This year we have had some real struggles but we have always been able to count on our families, I am blessed to have the family that I do. This includes Bens side of the family and mine. We have some great cousins and extended family that have helped us so much as well and we are very blessed to have them in our lives. We really do love our families and hope they know we would do anything for them.

So from my family

Have a Happy Thanksgiving and a wonderful holiday season!

Wish me a Happy Birthday!

This is actually Mary Jo's sister, Lisa. Since she doesn't ever seem to blog anymore (and since she gave me her password a long time ago) I decided to update for her and wish her a Happy Birthday! Mary Jo is such a wonderful sister and friend. She is always doing things for others. I have never met anyone more kind, loving, and willing to help anyone. I would never have guessed that with as much as we fought when we were younger, I'd ever consider you to be one of my best friends. Life's crazy right? We hope you have an amazing birthday!

If you love Mary Jo as much as we do, feel free to leave her a birthday wish as well!

Long Time Coming!

As the title says it has been a long time coming... So much has happened I don't know where to begin! I guess I will start with our big announcement. We have a new member to add to our family! Thats right, we have a new car that is going to call our garage home! Exciting huh! HA HA, you thought I was going to announce something else didn't you!? NO WAY! Ben decided to total our durango and so with the money we got from our insurance check my brother in law C.J. found us a great deal on a new "used" car. So far I have not driven it even though it is for me. Ben really likes it though! When I can get Ben out of the car to take a picture I will post a picture of it!

So You Think You Can Dance?

Take a look at these sweet moves and then ask yourself again, Can I really dance as good as her?

The Hardest Post

I am having a hard time posting this today, but Kyler keeps reminding me of what today is. Eleven years ago today I gave birth to my first child. He was a perfect 1 pound baby boy who meant the world to me! He wasn't supposed to come until June of 1999 but as we all know things don't always work out the way they are "supposed" to. Riley Bruce Scott died when my water broke and I had to deliver a baby that I knew was not alive. Because of an amazing doctor, nurses and family I was able to push through the pain (literally) and deliver my perfect little baby.

At the time I didn't understand why this had to happen to me, but now 11 years later I know that it was actually what was "supposed" to happen all along. Without the problems that I had with Riley I would not have know that I have an incompetent cervix and I had to be stitched up with each of my other pregnancies. Riley brought Ben and I closer and I am grateful that he blessed our lives and let us be his parents.

Now we have the challenge to live so that we can see him again when our time here on earth is over. But for now I have to take comfort knowing that grandpa Bruce is taking care of him for us and loving every minute of it. Who could ask for anything better? Happy Birthday Riley, we all love you very much and can't wait to be with you again.
