Aniyah's Birth Has A Purpose

Not only is she the most delightful baby girl around but she can up anyones spirit just at the sound of her voice. With my great grandma passing my aunt (her daughter) has came to our house a few nights for dinner to just get out of the house, since she took care of my grandma there up until the time she passed away. Aniyah always brightened my aunts day. I felt so bad for my aunt and I'm sure she has a lot of stress so Aniyah making her laugh and smile just made me feel so special inside. She helps her take her mind off of the pain and help her heal. Last night my aunt called telling my mom how thankful she was for Aniyah. She said how that was the reason Aniyah was born and that she loved her so much. Just the feeling of her feeling good makes me happy. I knew Aniyah was made for a reason :)

My Great Grandma Mary

My great grandma passed away a few days ago. She had just hit her 84th birthday. She was such a strong woman. We all knew it was time for her to leave us although her spirit is still here. I feel bad because she never met Aniyah but I tell her all about her through prayers. The funeral is on Wednesday March 4th 2009. This will be my second funeral but one that I will remember fully. The first funeral I went to was my moms father (my grandpa Jim) but I was small so I don't remember much, only the vase with his ashes in it... He was creamated and his ashes were thrown into the ocean.
Anyways I am a strong believer of the phrase "everything happens for a reason"
This is because my family has become SO much stronger in the past few days. It had been over a year since I saw my aunts and they are just so delighted to be around us. At the funeral, I will see so much of my family and it may sound bad to say but I am kind of excited. I haven't seen my nana and papa in over a year, let alone they have NEVER seen my daughter in her 6 months of life. That all wraps of the phrase that I believe in, things with my family just seem to be getting better by the day. At the funeral Grandma Mary didnt want us to wear black, she didnt want us to be sad, her favorite color was blue so we are all going to wear color. I love you great grandma and now we know what you were waiting for... our family to become closer. I love you.


Next, I know she's here with us.
My aunt Evie has been staying at my house for two weeks now and the night my great grandma passed something crazy happened. Everytime someone said "oh weird things happen and I know its so and so (whoever had passed away) giving us a sign" I never believed them.

Well, my great grandma gave us a sign and I am POSITIVE it was her. My aunt stays in the loft of my house. She was laying to go to bed late that night Grandma Mary passed... She turned off the lights and turned the fan on low. I had to run downstairs to get something for Aniyah and as I was passing the loft the light came on. My aunt turned around and said "did that light really just turn on?" I said yeah and turned it off thinking it was nothing. Next thing you know I was going to my brothers room to say goodnight which is just a few feet passed the loft and what do you know the light turns on AGAIN and the fan is at full blast. At that point all of us were at shock at the thought that it was my great grandma. Nothing like that has ever happened to me. Aunt Evie said she's telling us she made it to heaven... I know its true and I know it was her. That made us sleep alot better that night. Again I love you Grandma Mary!

My Valentine's Day Weekend

So this is me and Michael's third Valentines together as a couple and I think this year beats all. We went shopping all day, thanks to a little tax money ;). We also found our new favorite restaurant-Texas Roadhouse... Love that place! I loved their potato skins and chicken strips and frys. Oh and the strawberry lemonade was pretty good too. All in all it was an awesome weekend and I'm soooo shopped out I dont wanna see another mall for at least two months.. LOL! It feels good because I finally spent some money on myself. I bought two pairs of shoes, some jeans and a bunch of shirts. Can't wait to show off all my new clothes :)

Coyotes vs. Vancouver
