Since for some reason I'm often seen as a pessimistic person, I thought I'd take some time and focus on the GOOD.
1. I've been blessed with GOOD friends. And my life long prayer for my children has been that they would also be blessed with GOOD friends. And so far, at least Khayle has. She brought home a picture taken with her bff. It was so cute! Some how, we can across a very old picture from 1992 of me with my bff. It was so cute! Very similar to K's picture. Well, crafty as I'm not, we decided to put them in the same frame and then hang them up. Here's what we ended up with (sorry about the flash):
2. A GOOD servant! Tony has worked so hard to fulfill his life-long dream of becoming a police man and leading a life of service to others. (Totally his spiritual gift. I'm not so servant minded! But I do like to be served!) He graduated Friday the 18th:
(He also looks GOOD in uniform, and has GOOD dimples) We are so proud of all the hard work and effort he has put in to this new career.
3. My mom is GOOD! She was stressing us out a bit these last few weeks and making us nervous, but all tests came back GOOD!
4. My sister is GOOD! She totally went all out to make sure Tony had the best graduation party ever. And though she swears she's not in to cards, she found the best one ever, that caused Tony to laugh until he cried:
Yes, she found a card with Homer feeding a "pig" bacon! Shell helped make the "pig" theme awesome with ham sandwiches, and hotdogs rolled in bacon! Oh-she also opened her house to all of us to party in!
5. Our Ash is GOOD! She went all out and made "pig" cupcakes! She also found the sweet bacon shirt Tony sported for the party!
6. Adam can be GOOD! Especially when he's delivering a sweet graduation gift!
Don't you just love the surprised looks on their faces?
7. God is GOOD! For as we all know:"With God all things are possible!" God is running our cups over daily with blessings. He's provided me with GOOD friends, GOOD family, and GOOD news! YAY GOD!

Tony,
I am so proud of you! I know how long this dream has been and to finally reach success. THIS IS AWESOME! The uniform suits you and you look extremely happy. Look forward to hearing about your new career.
Ok, I cannot believe the picture of Adam, he is still the little boy of about 5. Ash still amazes me as she is the little girl Tanya has ALWAYS adored and loved being her Aunt.
Lots of fun to see the pictures and the families grow, loved seeing the bff picture of Tanya and Allison. Still have the picture of me and Tanya taken before our senior year.
At times the years that have passed seem unbelievable and at times it is as nothing has changed.
Wow! I'm so glad you found our modeling BFF pic! We were so hot! I wish I still had that pair of Girbaud jeans that I thought was the coolest! That's such a cute picture of Khayle and her bestie! They are so cute! Its' funny how similar the two pictures are! What fun!
Way to go Tony! What an amazing accomplishment! The party looks rockin' - anybody puke on Shelly's carpet? I can't wait to hear all about it!
Thanks for the great post reminding us of how blessed we are! God is good! I'm so glad that we have been able to keep in touch better this last little while, and can't wait to have lunch next week - maybe Wednesday? (Jacob and fam are leaving back to Iowa tomorrow, so our crazy life will get back to normal(?) soon.) I'll call you.
