Fill in the Blank Friday!

1. The last thing I ate was...Some amazing nachos at Chili's, and a sinful Molten chocolate cake with Becky and Maysen!

2. The next thing I'd like to eat is...Something I would rather not like to think about since I feel like I'm going to burst!

3. The best things...Are the simple things!

4. Something that makes me supremely and utterly happy is...Family, Kaiser, friends, and my amazing boyfriend Brandon!

5. Sports are... Something God did not want me to have talent in haha

6. I miss..Alisan.  It makes it even harder this time of year when its her birthday, and marks a whole year since I lost my amazing sister in law!

7. Right now I am...Cuddling on the couch with my personal stuffed animal...Kaiser!

The Simple Things!

This is the first time I'm linking up with Jesslyn Amber in the Simple Things!  And also the first time I have ever linked up, so hopefully I can get this right :)

I'm so excited Jesslyn started this link.  It's so easy to only think of the negative in your day.  I think this will really help me stay more positive and notice The Simple Things :)

Here is what I have appreciated this week:

- Cuddling with Kaiser.  No matter how hyper he might be before bed all I have to do is lay down, and he is right there next to me :)

-Brandon being able to make me laugh til I cry even after 5 years

-After having a bad week at work Dr. Stuart surprised me with 2 Dr. Peppers, and a strawberry shortcake ice cream bar.

-Cooking with my wonderful mother!

-Hearing Maysen say she loves me.  This little girl melts my heart!

And those are the amazing blessings I get to experience every week!  How lucky am I?!

Alisan Eddie

I have been dreading tomorrow for a year now.  June 19th would have been Alisan's 26th birthday.  Who was Alisan your probably wondering?  She was my sister in law, who was taken away too soon a little less then a year ago.  I believe I met Alisan in 2007 when her and my brother started dating.  There was really nothing you couldn't love about her.  My entire family grew very close to her.  Even though Alisan was 15 she started having medical problems.  When she was 16 her kidney was found to be the problem.  Her mother donated one of her kidneys.  From then on Alisan had to be on medcation.  By the time I had met her she had already been in countless surgeries.  The hospital was usually her second home.  But the only thing I ever saw out of her was a smile or a laugh.  She was so positive, and I never once heard her complain.  Later on in 2010 she had been sick with several serious viruses, and developed cancer from medicine.  I still never seen it coming.  She was smaller then me, but seemed to be one of the most invincible people in the world.  When I came to see her 2 weeks before she passed I never expected to see what I saw.  Like Alisan she was still just trying to laugh, smile, and joke as much as she could :) I'm so glad I came that day, gave her one last hug, and hear her say "I love you" one last time.  She left us on July 29th 2010.  I will never forget this special girl, and all the love and joy she brought to my life.  Here are a few pictures in the short time I knew her.

Chris and Alisan didn't ever get married.  They were together for 3 1/2 years.  Chris was planning on proposing when Alisan got out of the hospital and was feeling better.

I feel so lucky to have had you in my life.  I always wondered what it would be like to have a sister.  You let me experience that with you.  Forever sisters, forever in my heart.  I love you Ali.

Hello Bloggers!

Hello Everyone!  I finally created a blog!  I'm pretty excited!  Now if only I can figure out how to work this whole thing I'll be good.  What I hope to receive from this blog is being able to look back on memories that maybe I forget later on.  I love meeting new people, and have found a love for reading other people's blogs.  Hope you enjoy!
