Well... its been awhile since I've written one of these... I just had so much going on.

Its now been 3 months (plus a few days) since we lost my niece Adrianne. It seems like forever ago since I was able to hold that sweet angel in my arms. I miss her, very much. I got a tattoo in memory of her a few days before her funeral ( [link] ). Life goes on, but I think about her still numerous times throughout the day. She will forever be in my heart. Rest in peace Adrianne, save us all a spot in heaven baby girl.

I want to thank all of those who helped me with adding wings to Adrianne's photo, they are all cherished. Thanks so much once again.

On a different note... I now live in Texas, I moved down here from Indiana about a month ago. I miss my family more than anything, I can't wait to move back as soon as we can, which will probably be around June 2010.

The thing I hate most about being away from my family, is that I can't help when I am needed. Just a few weeks ago, we got news that my Pappy has cancer that is inoperable (when it rains it pours). The only hope that we can grab onto at this point is that they will be able to put it into remission, its in his lungs, and has spread to his lymph nodes. So we're praying that it will go into remission with the chemo and radiation.

Thats about all thats new here... I haven't found the motivation to take my camera out here in TX... not sure why, but I'll upload pics soon as I feel up to it.
