The Story Goes…..

This might sound crazy, but in exactly one month and one day, 5 years ago (yes, I am not eloquent with numbers like David) was when I posted my first blog post. Okay, I am so wrong…..and yes, I am not deleting it cuz it leads into this story I am about to tell. So I went back to find the link, to find out I was wrong which reminded me of the time I was at the Laker Hockey game (you’ll see the post if you follow link) and I got this email.  This email that totally put me in tears and I told David “we have to go home right now and I need to pack orders.” I remember it like it was yesterday, I remember the hotel, Rhonda being there, and it being Gabe’s birthday and it was snowing and we won the game…..and I come back to the hotel and check my email. Hmmm…. not sure how, cuz I still had a flip phone back then.  Anyways, there was an email that stated, and maybe I shouldn’t be typing this, but it’s part of my MJC story so I am going to. The email said “How could you blog that you are at a hockey game when you have orders that need to be packed?” I remember it  clearly and being so upset and David saying, “Denise, it’s ok to have a life of your own.”   Ahh..it was quite the night because MJC is my life as much as my family is. It is such a part of me.

So in the middle of going back to get the link for the blog post above I started scrolling through all the pages of my old blog. Gosh, that was a fun blog. I love it yet it kinda makes me sad. Joe and Gabe were so much a part of the story and I feel like I’ve kind of left them out lately. Did I blog this same thing a while ago too? I think I did. When I look at the old blog there were so many pictures of your kids, I miss that too. It’s hard growing up and not being so close. It’s hard having to filter everything I type, but you know what? I am thankful that it is all part of the story and I love every minute of it.

Ya, so when I was going through all those pics I started making this collage that turned into a 45 minute project. But man, look at you all. I am certain you recognize some of these faces.

Okay, I have been letting Gabe play Club Penguin for the entire time I have been blogging (at least 1.5 hours, yes memory lane took me forever) so I gotta sign off and play with my boy.

and those of you above, just email Kiara , [email protected]. with your name, address, and size and we’ll get a something something in the mail! That is my way of saying…I miss your comments! And Monica, I remember playing those games with comments, so fun. I wish I had an easy way to do it on this blog with 100′s of comments…the search contests were always my favorites.
