Goodbye 2009, Hello 2010!!

Three years ago today Heaven was sent another Angell..RIP Momo

December 15, 2009

Two days ago Natalie celebrated her 22nd birthday up in Heaven. It has been three years since she passed away, and I miss her more and more each day. There isn't a day that goes by that I do not miss her. Sheryl and I were talking about plans to go and visit her grave finally this coming up Summer. We both have not gotten up the nerve to go and see her yet, but it is something I feel I am stronger enough to do now. I am the stronger one between Sheryl and I so I will be the back bone for her and I. We both miss her so damn much. She will never be forgotten...

She is up in Heaven with her Mother, Susan, and I know they are both shining down on all of us here :)

North Carolina Sunset

I took this picture of the skyline the night before Thanksgiving. It was an amazing sunset, I swear the fall and winter may bring cold but also have such beautiful sunsets. Sometimes I even think that my Momo makes them especially amazing just to show me shes watching over me :)

Laguna Beach

“Don't grow up too quickly, lest you forget how much you love the beach.”

Before I knew

Oh, it was the first time I fell in love
the first time I felt my heart
it was the first time I sang out loud all through the night
but before I knew I was lost,
before I knew I was a prisoner
and I still can't find a way to make it right
