A Couple of pics of Tanisha before Momhood

As I was proofreading my blogging attempts, I recognized that I haven't featured Tanisha in a solo pic....so I dashed over to my pics stored on my computer, and discovered I haven't yet scanned any of her w/o kids or hubby for a while...here are a couple of her in Hawaii on graduation (from college) day.

One is her by herself, and the other is with her dear friend Libbie. This was another great day! (For anyone who is keeping track, it was in December 2001)

Good Night, Already!!

Once again, I have allowed myself to become obsessed (this time with the blog thing)....and it is past my bedtime. Luckily, because I am still crazy, I don't have to get up for work tomorrow. I am so grateful for this time away from WBH....with each passing day, I feel myself grow stronger and healthier! I am growing into the woman I was created to be.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARISSA!!

This is Marissa, my "baby" who turned (dare I tell?) 27 years old on the day before yesterday. She is married to Dustin and they are the proud parents of three girls: Hope, Lilly & Bailey. In this picture, Marissa is taking a short break from zipping around the Long Beach area on this snazzy yellow moped (summer 2007). Marissa is also beautiful and smart (a pattern is beginning to emerge here) and she speaks her mind. There is never any question about how she feels or what she thinks. I enjoy listening to her share her points of view--she is very articulate. She often gives me a lot to think about--especially when she makes observations about me or something that I do. ;-0
