Love you Grandma

Last night at 11:36 my grandma passed away after a very hard and long struggle with cancer. She was so strong and she fought as long as she could. We were all with her when she returned home. She was the most amazing person you have ever met and she will really be missed, I found this poem and it reminded me of something she would say.

I`m Free

Don't grieve for me, for now I`m free
I`m following the path God has laid you see.
I took his hand when I heard him call
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work, to play
Tasks left undone must stay that way
I found peace at the close of day.

If my parting had left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life`s been full, I have savored much
Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all to brief
Don`t lengthen it with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee
God wanted me now, He has set me free.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA HARMON!!
WE LOVE YOU..

OH Christmas Tree.. OH Christmas Tree!!

Tonight Russ and I went and bought our Christmas tree.. I wanted a big huge really green fluffy one, and so I picked out the biggest greenest fluffiest one there and obviously forgot how tiny our living room was.. So now its nothing but tree! And we did not really have enough ornaments but I think it looks pretty good! This picture does not do it justice it is HUGE.. 7 feet tall and 4 feet wide!

Our tree stand was too small for it so we had to go buy a bigger one. Every time we have set up our tree since we have been together something breaks, the lights will not work, or we forget to buy something. So to get our tree set up usually takes about 3 trips to Walmart! Someday we will get this whole tree decorating thing down!

Happy Thanksgiving..
