This is a picture of me and my future husband Rob. He is my best friend for so many reasons. To me he is the most wonderful person in the world. He has encouraged me to follow my dreams, even when they have seemed unattainable. He has supported me when I have been weak, and has been the one by my side to keep me strong. He helps me with everything in life that I find important. He has accepted my four childen as his own, and has been everything I have ever wanted as a father for them. Not a day goes by that he doesn't remind me how beautiful he thinks I am, inside and out. I met him over 3 years ago, and we have been together ever since. We know in our hearts that we are meant to be together. Our plan is to be married in June of 2012.
These are my children outside of the Buffalo Museum of Science. We went and spent the day at the Body Worlds Exhibit. It was so interesting and very educational. We couldn't believe all of the people that had actually donated their body to science after their death. It was nice to witness these anatomical gifts displayed in such a stunning way. We all had such a great time, and I am so happy that we shared this experience together.
This picture was taken at Allegany State Park. Every summer Rob and I take the kids tent camping for a whole week! We look forward to it all year. Spending a week outdoors is so relaxing. We swim, hike, fish, kayak, collect wood for campfires, cook over the fire, and tell lots of stories. We do everything together as a family, and enjoy each others company immensly. We share a lot of laughs and make a lot of new memrories. Our life never feels as peaceful as it does in the woods surrounded only by nature. I hope to continue this camping tradition with my children every year for the rest of my life.
