NINETEEN GREAT YEARS!

Jan. 3, 1988 was THE day!

Mark and I have been through ALOT together and here we are still going strong. Marriage is about loving each other through: the good and bad, happy and sad, easy and hard, smooth and rough times, knowing you are together forever!

We have been BLESSED with 3 wonderful boys who LOVE God and LOVE each other. We have made so many memories, I look forward to the many more we will make together!

M-akes sure I am happy!

K-icks butt at his job

And that's MY MAN!

Are you ready?

This will get your attention

January 2007 already here!

Well it has been a pretty busy 2 months. We went to Oregon for Thanksgiving, Hawaii for 6 days, and Orange County for Christmas and New Years. We are home and back to the routine of things. Hawaii was great! We had to fly over on Mark's work airplane but we did it because it was free. What an experience though, it is extremely noisy, I mean noisy, you have to wear ear plugs to protect your ears so it makes it pretty difficult to communicate with one another. So for 10-11 hours I didn't get to talk to anyone. We had to stop in San Diego to pick up cargo and 4 guys who were on their way to, I think, Japan. The plane was empty before we picked up these huge crates. So the problem with the crates is that they blocked the access to the curtained off potty. Well, I wish I could last 10 hours but I couldn't. I sat there looking at the crate and dreading the moment I would have to get over it. I watched my boys and Mark do it and I was not sure I could. I was going to have to climb up the steps on the corner and ROLL, ya I said ROLL across the top to the other side where they had a ladder I had to climb down. Along with the added difficulty of these San Diego guys sleeping up top making there not be much room to maneuver around, not that there was to begin with. You can see in my slide show a picture of one of the boys going up and how much room there was up there. Well since I was dreading the moment I knew it was making the urge worse so I finally gave in. I asked mark to go first and I followed. It was not a pretty sight and poor Mark has to work with these guys who watched me coming feet first on my stomach down stairs I can't see. I made it back across without a problem and never ate or drank another thing until we landed.


Hawaii was beautiful!! We had a great room with a great view, we went snorkeling every day and swam with the turtles....


Mark Jr. is taking a picture while I get a picture of him.

We rented a car for three days which is the way to go! We drove all around the island looking for fun places to stop. We saw some of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen. They looked fake! We ate pineapple ice cream and saw the sunset and sunrise on the beach. We had a great week, this was a vacation we will never forget.
The ride home was a little better, I at least had easy access to the toilet.
We had a wonderful Christmas and had a great time with my new niece Jeena who was visiting from Korea. She will be back in June and I look forward to seeing her then!
Time goes by too fast, children grow too quickly, I want to enjoy every minute I have with family and friends! That's what matters most, loving God & following his word and loving friends and family!
