I"m trying to fix this little issue with the "new" blog on here, but for now, it appears that Jean is writing this blog. I sign my name at the bottom, but her profile picture shows up as the author. I can change this blog so that EVERYONE could use this as their Blog if they want. I will check if you have to sign into the website and get into the site manager etc to get on here. So far, that's what I have to do to post on my page. If we can all blog from the website on here and post pictures, etc, we can reduce to one page if we want or we can keep it just like it is. We'll talk about it in PHOENIX. WOO HOOO, OH YEAH!!!!!! It's LUKE"S GRADUATION!!!!! I'm doing a happy dance, kind of, at least my arms are...not a real, full body happy dance, but it's the thought that counts, right? My MIND is doing a full body Happy Dance. :o) OH, we can talk about changing music, pictures, bios whatever needs to be changed on here. I"m pretty sure the boys would like something other than what I've picked out for them. :o) I'm kind of into Third Day if you haven't noticed. They're coming here in a couple of weeks.
Matt is getting some driving lessons!!! Oh boy, look out world!! Connor would like to, and it's legal in South Dakota at 14, but I don't think so. Dane was 17 when he decided he wanted to drive. It just depends on the kid. Some are anxious to get started, others could care less.
We MUST see Prom pictures!!!
We went to see Elton John April 1st. Boy did the memories come flooding back. Benny and the Jets, Rocket Man, Tiny Dancer always reminds me of Jean. Great concert and night out with my hubby.
Jean, I miss you so much!

Wow, here I sit with my oldest boy having moved to Redding, California. I want to call you and talk about the feelings you go through when this happens. I'm just going to hold it in and when I get to Phoenix in May, I'll hug your boys till they start running away from the crazy old woman. :O) That's the plan. I guess I shouldn't warn them by writing it on here, but it does give them ample time to find ways to get away from me.
I am so happy to be going to Luke's graduation so I can meet both boys. Luke was only a few months old the last time I saw him. Dane, my oldest was only two and a half when we were there, yet, he remembers parts of that trip.
I know you will be there with us and we can all fight over who is holding your hand. My dear friend, I so look forward to knowing your children. They are a part of you, and I see you in them. This is going to be such a wonderful time.
It seems it is that time of the year again. Jean's birthday.
Dear friend, I will send a prayer to God to make this day extra special in heaven. I wonder if God couldn't assemble a few of our rock band members that have passed away so you could have your very own concert. I see you dancing in my mind with that big grin on your face. I can easily picture you rockin and rollin in heaven. No pain, just freedom to enjoy.
I'm so anxious to see your kids in May. Deb, Jean, Ed's brother, your mom, sister, the boys, wow, this is going to be so wonderful. Deb and I will hug the boys until the hide from us. :o) Just want to send some of your mom vibes to them.
I continue to miss you dearly. I need you to hold my hand through some oncoming events that have me anxious. I even had a moment where I thought I could pick up the phone and talk to you. Oh the let down when I realized I could not. I'll wear your bracelet and twist the beads and remember that you're there with me. When we are reunited in Heaven, Girl, you are going to get the BIGGEST HUG and KISS EVER!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEAN!!
Love,
