My Nellie

My last post was almost a year ago. I remember the day I brought that little boy home. I am so grateful to my husband, my mother and my best friend Nellie for making his entrance into this world so wonderful.Well he will be one in march and we are expecting our next baby already. I know it's fast but when you know, you just know.

We have had a long year with lots of change and new experiences in our lives. We are currently looking for a new job right now, one that pays better would be nice.

It seems that Nellie has been a big part of my life for the last 24 years. It took me a long time to get to where I understood just how much she meant to me. We followed her and her family to Rexburg, cause she convinced me that my husband should go to school at BYU-Idaho and that it would be more cost effective than living in Utah and attending Utah Valley University. She was right! We moved to Rexburg and into a little apartment because she arranged for us to move into the little house she was renting after they graduated in December of 2009. After she and her family moved to Virginia to take a job at Celanese I thought that was the only chance I was going to have to live close by her again. Well it seems that Rick is very handy and was able to secure and internship for my husband at Celanese and we moved out to VA for about 6 weeks and then up to my folks for the remainder of the internship...something about horses being a mistake here. Before Dean left his internship he was offered a job with the company. We accepted and after graduation moved back east for his job. We have lived here for a year and a half. I have had the privilege of being in close proximity to my best friend and her family for that long. Recently her husband took a job in Georgia and today they closed on her new home. She moves in just about a week. I am going to miss her so much. She has been such a great friend and always someone I can count on. I hope that she knows how much I value our friendship and how much I just love her. Your family is a light in our lives Nellie. I hope that we will be able to someday be close again.
