My beautiful cousin Melissa and her boyfriend Phillip graduated from Tech Law this weekend. It was nice to get away from the norm and drive the beautiful state of Texas. The trip was great we partied after graduation and celebrated mother's day together for my grandmother. She had all of her kids and grand kids there and she just loved it. Congrats Meli and Phillip WE ARE ALL SO PROUD OF YOU!!

Lee Roy's best friend and best man Dave is in town. He came over last night to hang out with us and watch Denver kick the Mavs out of the series. :( Oh well maybe next year right? I am SO tired of saying that about our sports teams.. ANYWHOOO... Dave came over on his Harley.. very nice. We talked about the old times when he and Lee Roy used to get into stuff... when he bailed Lee Roy out of the slammer once.. yes my hubby has a past.. :) BUT THAT MAKES HIM WHO HE IS! He has learned from the past and is a changed man. HALLE-LUYER! (As Madia would say) LOL! Glad to have him in town! Dave was like "ok, I came and drank your beer, so now you have to come to my house and drink mine".... I was like ok, you can have him Thursday.. he is off Friday.. he can have a late night with you and the guys.. NO PROB! So the kids are with dad tonight and Lee roy is with the boys.. MOMMMY GETS A BREAK!!! WooHoo!! Ugly Betty and Grey's Anatomy..... with no noise.. I LOVE IT!
Today is our 2 year anniversary. I am more in love with Lee Roy today as I was then and I cannot imagine my life without him. I close my eyes and think about our beautiful day May 12, 2007
We were talking last night about the events leading up to the wedding… The drama with the 1st florist and the 1st DJ, our BACHLR/BACHLRTTE parties, picking out the colors… LOL! I love to just sit and talk to my hubby. We have so much in common and can be honest. I know that with the honesty LR & I have this marriage and friendship will last forever. We also talked about the rehearsal dinner and wedding day itself.
That morning 5/12 was CRAZY. My choice in hair salons changed at the last minute. I also arrived at the Lancome` Boutique to have my make up done… to my surprise.. and theirs.. they couldn't find mine or my sister’s appointments. Was not happy with hair OR make up.. if I could have a wedding day do-over I WOULD! J Anyway made it through that drama.. ANYWAY..

GRANDMA COCO, MOM, MOMMY, ME & MEMO
Last week Jonathon & Ashleigh's Nana & Papa (Kyle's mom & dad) decided they were going to make a trip to Ohio to see Nana's sister Aunt Barbara. Aunt Barbara was diagnosed with lung Cancer and had been told it was spreading and it was inoperable. Later in the week they got word back that test showed it had spread to her brain. Saturday Nana and Papa left for Ohio, Sandy(Kyle's mom) was going to spend a month with her and care for her sister. Let me just say.. that I would have done the exact same if it were my sister. Saturday while in route to Ohio, Aunt B had 2 seizures. Nana and Papa stopped for the night in Missouri to rest. The next morning at 7 AM as they preparred to continue on their trip, Aunt Barbara went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I just ask for prayers for the family, for Nana Sandy. She is really struggling with this as they were told on Friday by Dr.'s she had 6 month. Nobody expected this to happen so soon. We know as Christians that God has HIS time for everyone and HE calls us to be with HIM when HE is ready.
I also received a call Sunday from one of my BFF's that her father passed away Sunday morning as well. Nancy's dad Jack Turner was 86 and has also gone to be with the Lord.
Father I pray for these two families, especially for Sandy and Nancy comfort them in their time of need and I pray that they know to rely on you and ONLY YOU FATHER! In JESUS name!
Our 2 year anniversary is coming up in 2 weeks. When my parents got married in 1984, I was there. So my theory on this has always been that I was there.. so that means it is OUR anniversary.. RIGHT? (BTW, It will be 25 yrs in September) Well the same with my kids and Lee Roy and I. There is a Val & Lee Roy gift/date night and then there will be a "our" gift and dinner night. I cannot wait to see the look on the faces of the most special people in my life.... STAY TUNED!!!
XO
