moving on  / Kelly
moving day came and went we bought our very first place !!!!
 I know your happy for us because you always were :)
  Our place needs a lot of love but its home..
 Everyone says you would have been here knocking walls down with me lol I know it too.
The very first day we owned I walked in looked around again and could hear you going were going to do this this and this and then start swinging a hammer :) makes me laugh
It will take time to get it were we want it some things are more important to fix for now others will come in time.
 Most important we now have a home
Schools starting in a few weeks senior year for Justin cant believe it
Zach's onto 10th after successfully completing summer school :)
Cant have 2 kids the same everyone tells me guess it would boring!!!!

Zach's Birthday  / Kelly (daughter)
Today Zach turned 15 times like these are tough..  You were always our rock our cheerleader the best dad and papa we could have ever asked for. I feel bad mostly for the kids no on even called Zach on his birthday :( He often feels left out but he's getting older and doesn't let it bother him as much!
  We seem to have a black cloud over us since you been gone you always said God wouldn't give us more than we can handle I keep telling myself that is true and I'm not as bad off as some people.
 Scot's been laid off of work for near 8 months now he became very 2 months ago with no insurance he couldn't get the test he needed. We finally got some assistance with insurance last week only to be told 90 days before we can actually use it.
 We have to move pretty much no place go as of yet and hard to do on one income of a hairdresser. Just hoping wherever we end up it works out for the kids. Justin will be a senior next year and deserves to finish at Brockport at the least.
still trying to get him to drive he just has the 5 hour course left everything is money right now. He's been very understanding both the boys have.
 I guess moving in 2 -3 weeks will be hard hoping the kids can help although Scot seems to get better then he gets worse so we will see how it goes. Last few months I've been working and doing everything around I can around here. Most of the time I'm exhausted
 4th of July was quiet most holidays are now we went out to lndonville again this year they do the best fire works.
I bought nickelback tickets a long time ago for my birthday that was Friday night we did get to go to that and actually had a blast it was the kids first concert too fun
thats it for now missing you and love you :)

happenings / Kelly
Jason is coming home tomorrow finally its been a long 14 months we so excited to see him again. Glad he's home safe.
   Still too dang cold here this winter is the worst I've seen since I was a kid yuck yuck yuck going south seems more and more appealing lol.
 This place is for the birds Everyone always said I did not belong here they were right :)
I am getting some snow driving experience though I guess that's good depends on who you ask so far not so good its quit the thing too see...
Were off and moving again wish it was south now got one more year till Justin's done and were out of here. Moving in the winter is not so fun have to find a place first been looking for weeks.
 Mostly just shoveling around these parts were too dang close too the lake really not enjoying any of the snow
Justin made varsity track he's all excited. Zach's taking technology classes against his will lol but so far so good he's doing excellent all except for math seems too be his least favorite class.
other than that everything is going well
 love ya lots

Merry Christmas 2008  / Kelly

Merry Christmas *Dad*

We had a quiet Christmas but the boys enjoyed what they did get it was nice since we were so hectic in the weeks leading up to Christmas very very busy ... so we got to relax Christmas day and kind of just lounge and do what we want.. Christmas doesn't much feel the same without you we celebrate but the spirit seems gone.

The family doesn't get together at all anymore so we just make our new memories together even the kids say all the holidays and celebrations are different we went from everyone together to just the 4 of us things change people change we all move on..

We celebrated birth and how fortunate we are too be here

The one thing that stays the same is your missed in a big way Justin said you knew you would be.... we  know your very proud of us for honoring you and your life as you wished.

 We know not everyone can or could do as you wished but we will always honor your wishes, carry on the memories in our hearts and cherish the time we had with you.. We celebrate you and your life we are very grateful you no longer suffer

 Ringing in the new year is something we are looking forward too this year new year :)

Way too much snow this year and too cold for me I'm ready too move south yesterday not too much longer now and we can go I won't miss the snow a single bit

that is it for now

 God bless and rest in peace

time of year  / Kelly

your favorite time of year is here again. Shopping without my partner in crime isn't the same lol :)

  Going alone gets me in trouble.. The boys aren't asking for much this year guess that happens when they get older.

Couldn't put up my favorite tree we got together wasn't that quit the adventure the ceilings are too low its the Charlie brown tree again this year

we made apple cinnamon ornaments yesterday that was fun made a mess

The kids love seeing all the glass ornaments they made for me when you took them too the glass place

 

Justin has pnemonia outdoor winter track I don't understand it but I'm not a fan of the cold he loves it he's feeling better but still isn't back to track for practice he's hoping for Wednesday.

 

Zach's doing very well in high school he has adjusted well he's even passing most of his classes.

Justin hasn't asked too drive much in the snow thats ok with me lol

 

other than that were keeping busy and its very cold.....

all our love

One Year  / Barb (Wife)
July 27, 2008 One Year

My darling, It has been one year today, but it still seems like yesterday. I love
you so much and always will. I thank God for carrying me and supporting me
and I tell Him everyday now grateful I am for Him.

Carol brought flowers and my friend Maggie came with me. Your marker is
finally in and I am so sad. They did a good job on it and it does look good.

Honey, you have been the best husband a girl could have, and in my heart
and soul you still are.

I love you honey,
Love your wife, Barb

The clouds in the sky were beautiful before the fireworks me and mom saw a eagle in the form of the clouds it was beautiful.. We all played a cloud game after that to see what we could find shapes of.. lol

 

Zach turned 14 yesterday we had his party today we had a lot of fun. He is a great kid. Growing up into a fine young man. We went to your favorite Krony's it rained on our party.

To my darling  / Barb (Wife)
Hi Honey, Just felt like writing you. I donated your diabetic equiptment to the VOA. They don't charge, they donate. It was really hard, but Kate was with me. Storm got shaved again today. I am taking care of the cyst. She is back on Proxide and Neosporin twice a day. Please honey, watch over her and with God, please help her to get rid of it. I go to a Bible Study on Monday mornings with Kate, but forgot today. Took Storm instead. Thought of the study just now. I love you so much honey and am still in a lot of pain. I know God is with me and carrying me, and I know you are watching over me too. Love you my darling. Your wife, Barb Close
