Happy Thursday Blogger’s. Hope we are all doing well with the challenge!!! This is one of my favorite challenges…
Today will be all about my adorable grandbabies. We have been so blessed with 9 healthy lil ones. 5 boys and 4 girls with another one on the way.
We were blessed with 5 children, 4 boys and our middle one, the daughter!!! So happy I had at least one girl. As I’m the youngest of 4 girls, no brothers it’s been quite a journey. My mom was the only girl with 7 brothers OMG 😱!!! Her mom was the oldest of 6 sisters. So it’s been a flip/flop generational line.
I’ll post pics of my lil darling grandbabies ♥️♥️

Personalities…That is the prompt for today. Not sure what to do with that, but I’ll just give it go. I like my personality. I’m funny, a great listener, a good story teller. I love my life, I love my family (all of them) and I’m madly in love with my husband of 45 years. He’s my best friend of all. A great friend, provider, artist !!! He loves his family too. He just has always been there for all of us. I can’t say enough great things about him.

We started dating when I was just 16 years old. I knew fromthe first time I laid eyes on him that he was my forever !!!! He was a Junior at Northwestern University ( The Harvard of the Midwest 😉 ) and I was a junior in high school. It was a good thing we never met in high school b/c he was in the class of the, “Jocks” i.e. the athletic group and I was unfortunately part of the, “Freaks” the leftover hippies of the 60’s… Like I said he never would’ve dated me. I guess that’s what they may call destiny. All a part of God’s Plan.
We have a lot of songs, but here’s one that I love, love, love…
Remember When
We dated for 3 years and then were married when I was only 20 years old. I knew he was my forever and when we said, “Better or Worse, Richer or Poorer, til death do we part,” we meant it. We’ve seen worse, we’ve seen poor and he just is the guy I knew he was. Because he puts his arms around us all through those times and tells me to hold on b/c he’s got this. Just don’t let go.
We’ve buried a son, Sean Patrick. We’ve lost houses and jobs car accident’s/traumatic brain injury but we never give up. It’s called, “Life…” Which can be a tsunami at times but you just have to keep going and hold on !!!! I love you husband.

Just the best guy who is my forever. A great father, husband/provider and grandpapa. I could go on forever but I think you get it. I’ll end with our very first song…
As in every life families evolve and change but one thing that stays the same is us !!! Here’s a little bit of the change I’m talking about. You can’t change the facts or the DNA…5 Children, and 9 grand babies, and counting…

Who do you think is an example of a successful person?
A person who is kind and is loved. Someone who is agiver and not always taking.
Why are you doing what you’re currently doing?
Staying inside keeping warm and getting the house back to ground zero from the holiday’s. Setting up my plan for the next year and finishing up on decorating. I just have 1 room to paint, 1 bathroom and then the kitchen. I should have it all done by the summer and then we’ll move 😉 Isn’t that how it always works out ???
What is your personal theme song?
This one is an easy one and for anyone who knows me, well it will always be this song…
Nothings Gonna Stop Us <3
What do you think about tofu?
I don’t like it. I thinks it’s just blah…
GRATITUDE SECTION (as always, optional)
