Alot has happened with me/us.

Dear Diary,

Four years has gone by since we last spoke.

We now have four grand babies. Two of mine and two of his.

A girl and a boy each. I have Seth who is 19 and Zoe who is 3.

He has Charlie almost 5 and his sister who just turned 1.

We have lost several relatives we will miss dearly. Ive lost all three of my beloved pets that I miss every minute of every day. I now give all my love and attention to my adopted furry children Pup and Bubba. 

We will be married for 4 years this November 2013.
The road to heaven has been tough for us both. You hear the term ' you cant change the spots on an old dog.' Well, you cant make me change, but you can make me want to. It took five years to get our story straightened out and its still going up hill.

"I now pronounce you..MR & MRS HESTILOW"

We are now on the same side.
With the same name.


Look out world.

YAHOOoooo

Guess what?

We got our marriage license today.
I felt funny answering the question:
How long have you been single?

I said with a slight blush..."25 years".
That certainly turned some heads.

.......to be continued.

p.s. BABY UPDATE. We now have a new grandson. Charlton.

Time just keeps ticking....ticking....ticking....into the future

I've been so busy with my new life, I've forgotten to keep up with the out side world.

My sweetie and I have been cleaning up our past lives to begin a new one together. I forgot how much time that takes. Maybe it depends on how much of a past one has, huh?

First and most important, in June he asked me to marry him, and I said YES! We are thrilled. We haven't really set a date in stone yet. We have to get some of our ducks in a row first. Good thing I live close to a pond.

This weekend we are going to the Woodstock of the Aeronautics world. Oshkosh, Wisconsin. We will be among 500,000 people and 10,000 airplanes. Yeeehaaaw. (Im from Texas, I can say that) We will be as close to heaven as possible and still be alive. I wont be able to wipe the smile off Ricks face for weeks. Which of course puts a smile on My face.

Thats about it for now, I have to go pack.

.........to be continued.

EXCITING NEWS

UPDATE !

We are so excited!
One of us is going to be a new grandfather.....you get two guesses as to which of us that would be.......and the first guess doesnt count.

I know I wont get much time with the baby, so Im hoping its twins.
