I know it’s been a long time since I posted, but I did have a baby. Check her out at violet.wilys.com. She is a real beauty and after struggling with choosing her name, you’ll never believe what I finally decided on. Go ahead and check my earlier post about that. Why did I struggle with the name, I had it all along!

I’m pretty sure that only my husband Zachie will be reading this post, but I need to write it anyway and send it out to the world. I miss my friends. They died with their daughter last July and I still feel a hole in my life. Jana was one of my favorite people. She and I were like magnets attracting to each other at every get together. I always wanted to be around her. She was spunky and smart and loud and mean–and I loved every bit of it. That’s because when you were alone with her she was genuine, caring, sensitive, and just plain beautiful. Bridger has been one of my greatest friends over the past 18 years. When I say greatest friends, I mean that he was great at being my friend, because even though he was a guy’s guy, he had a real caring heart for me. I’ll never forget a time when I was struggling with something very secret and it was like he read my mind, knew everything about me deep down and just hugged me for several minutes. He didn’t have to say a word and I didn’t have to explain. That really sums up our relationship.

Jana and Bridger were the perfect couple, because they were near perfect individuals in my mind. They are two of the most influential people of my life and they left my life way too early. I miss them.

I know lots of people miss them so I want to start a forum in their honor. We can talk about them, post pics of them, and of course keep in touch with each other. Zachie, my brilliant, amazing, talented husband will surely help me make the site happen. Right?
