Latest News from Fayetteville, NC





It has definitely been a crazy few weeks around here. As if you all haven't already heard on the news, we have seen at least 3 murders in less than a month. All women, mothers, and wives. It is so sad to see these strong, young women, two of which were serving there country proudly, become victims to unnecessary horrid murders. It has kept us all praying continuously for their families and being especially watchful over ours.

In other new, Tony has been on convalescent leave for his second week now. He had to have surgery in a very painful area due to the extreme effort he put into the "boys" camping trip. He really out did himself, and for that I am proud of him. It's just too bad he had to be bit by a spider and suffer from unmentionable pain. Now of course while I should be taking care of him still, I come down with a crappy case of bronchitis. I've had a fever now for 3 days that shoots to 102.8, then I sleep for the rest of the day with the chills. So the poor kids have been extremely bored. Thank God for good neighbors and a local swimming pool. Without them, I am sure the kids would have gone bonkers by now.

Now to address two awesome people who were a big part of my childhood. Aunt Rinda and Mary Kay. Thanks for the comments on my page. Mary Kay you have every reason to be proud of Tom and Jim. I can't believe how much Tom changed already since retiring from the Army. It's really good to see family get together like that again. It's been a long hard road with Corbin and each and every day there seems to be a new trial, but he is so worth it. I have no doubt he will be a spectacular, accomplished individual when he reaches adulthood.
Aunt Rinda: I have my same yahoo address. sweetymommyof4@yahoo.com Could you please send me yours again? I don't recall getting anything from you there. Congratulations on Linda's marriage. She looked so beautiful and happy in the pictures. You look really great yourself. I really like your new hairstyle. I am glad that this site will help all keep in touch better. I will post more pics with this post. Love all of you, and thank you so much for your comments. Take care.
