Hey everyone!! I do hope that you are all doing good.. So this section is to be about me!!! MMM, I decided it was time to update my profile some... I first have to say that I am from Michigan but my heart is in the SOUTH!! I am currently living in Michigan, with my family. I moved home April 16, 2006 after being gone for 10 years. It was time to come home to get my life together but also spend time with my grandmother who was starting to pass away. What I didn't know was that when I came home, that my life would be a roller coaster ride for the next year and half.. My Grandma Shaw (my Mom's mom) passed away on July 5, 2006, three months after I moved home. And then 9 months later on April 19th, 2007, my Grandma McIvor (my Dad's mom) passed away. Both ladies have left a huge hole in my heart, that I am learning to let go of the pain. We have also lost my brother-in-law's uncle and mom, his uncle the day after my Grandma McIvor passed away and his mom three months later. In all of all this going on, I found out that I was diagnosed with a liver disease and am a diabetic. This took the life out of me.. I really didn't know how to go one.. But also in all of this, I know that God has really been by my side as I have learned to understand and comprehend everything. My family has been a huge strength for me. My mom and dad have been great role models for me. They are going to be going to be celebrating 39 years of marriage. My sister (Robyn)and my brother in law (Scott) are going on 8 years of marriage and have two AWESOME girls. Emily is currently 6 and in first grade. She is our sports nut in the family. She loves to play soccer, watch baseball & football. She currently lost her first two teeth. And guess what the going rate is, $10 for the second tooth. (I can't believe that!!). Hannah is currently 4 going on 12, she is our Banana. She is the actress in the family, our comedian and our brut.. She loves to get in wrestling matches where she is winning and not losing.. She is also constantly amazing Grandma and Grandpa with how much she knows and how much she likes to write.. I think she will be our brainact... We shall see.. And then there is my sister (Amy), she is still working at the Insurance Agency and liking it... But I have also learned that my Christian Faith and belief in God has really started to show me things. I don't know what my path is or where I am going but I know that for a long time I had fallen away from my faith and my beliefs to go with the norm. My grandma has taught me to be strong and to stick up for what I want. To be independent but still have my family roots. I never knew that I had listen so much when I was going up. But I know that God has helped me through some really grey times in my life and helped me to realize what is right. (I don't know where I am going to be in 5 years or 10 years) This is a statement that I have really struggled with lately because as much as I would love to know what I am going to be doing or where I am going to be living (hopefully in the South) I have really realized that this is God's plan and his life for me. I have to follow his path and his way, otherwise I will be lost.. I guess I will stop boring you all!! Have a great day and remember to have some fun!! Live everyday to the fullest!!!!
