Moving on UP!

Me & Mom in The Old Market, Omaha.


The family 
is a haven
 in a heartless world.
 - Christopher Lasch


A few more photos to share from our Girl's Weekend to Omaha. Again...I am so grateful to my Mom for this amazing weekend!!



The Old Market in downtown Omaha is filled with art, music and so much charm!



Em thought this was pretty cool.

We stopped in a women's dress shop and found a man with this lizard on a leash!



Another pic of Em...this time in the Desert Dome at the Henry Doorley Zoo. 

We can't wait to go back with Dave and Jacks.


Spending time with those you love is so healing for the soul.


Hey...I need to tell you who WON our prize from Week 6!! Congrats to Annie Bella!!
Annie...please shoot me an e-mail with your address...les262@embarqmail.com
CONGRATS:)

Everyone that won prizes throughout the course...I am getting everything in the mail by the end of this week. Soooo sorry for the delay.

A few more things before I go. My wonderful husband, the love of my life, my very best friend...



Dave and I have made a promise to one another. We are DONE. Done with the heartache and sorrow that has plagued us for months. Done with feeling sorry for ourselves. Done with the depression, the late night eating and pity parties.

We are READY to move on. 
To look at our life for what it is. 

A gift.

 A gift given to us from our Father in Heaven. 

Despite all that has been wrong in our lives these past few months...
we are still so very blessed.

 We have our family 
and our friends
 and our faith. 

That is all we need.

 It really is.



Oh...and one more thing. 





This oh, so inspirational Somerset Studio mag from last summer is THIS summer's teacher. Stay tuned for more on that.


How are you all doing???

  3. That's a great pic of you and your mom. Oh very special - and with Mother's Day right around the corner. I lost my mom in 1991 - so long ago. I can see that you all had a great time.

    It's great that you and your husband have such a strong relationship. In it together - that's the way it's supposed to be!
    Hugs,
    Kay
