~*In Memory Of Samantha*~

I received a phone call yesterday evening from Jared to tell me Samantha had passed on.
I'm having surgery Wednesday morning so I will be unable to fly home for the funeral but I will be thinking of them on that day and be there in spirit.
Last night Tom and I looked threw pictures and talked about the good times with our friends.
Jared wanted me to tell everyone how your thoughts and prayers and knitted gifts brought such comfort to Samantha and to thank you all.
I wanted to tell you how much you all were there for us and thank you for not letting me go threw this hard time alone and for all the joy you brought my friend and know those gifts were a blessing and wrapped Samantha in love.
The pictures are of Samantha ,Jared Hallie and Alora playing in Hallie's room and of litte Jack I took the pictures last Summer.

~I Will Be Gone For Awhile~

I'm having oral surgery next week.
I have a molar that has to come out and it has curved roots so it needs to be taken out in pieces and some bone with it so
I will also be getting a bone graft then in 8 months They will do a dental implant.
Hubby is taking time off next week to care for me and our girls.
This is something I have delayed but now my mouth hurts to much to ignore it anymore.
I will not be blogging for awhile hope to be back in March.Hugs Darcy

~♥ My Sweet Valentine ♥~

Card I Gave Tom




















Today is our 6TH Wedding Anniversary♥♥
My husband was my best friend for 8 months before we decided to take it to the next level...Dating.
On Christmas 2003 he got down on his knees and proposed.
He was a practical joker I knew he was going to ask me to marry him just not the day.
So when he gave me a jewelry box as a Christmas present knowing I being a woman would think there was a ring in it.lol
I tore that jewelry box apart looking for a ring and he said it was comical to watch.
Well he waited till that night under the pretense of showing me a recipe in a cook book so as to distract me from my daughter who was hiding a camcorder under a blanket to finally pop the question.
My ring was a gold heart wrapped around a heart shaped diamond I was so excited that I didn't realize I hadn't answered his question till my daughter said mom are you going to stop gawking at the ring and answer Tom???
We decided our wedding would be on Valentines Day 2004 because after all he was the heart of my heart:)
How do you know he is the one?
He loves you even though you snore.
He loves you even when your sick and look horrible.
You catch him looking longingly at you and he says your so beautiful and you just woke up and your hair is sticking straight up and your wearing flannel pajamas so your pretty sure he is whacked in the brain and needs glasses;)
For our Wedding he made me a CD of love songs I felt so loved:)
I know I love him because I love the idea of getting old and wrinkly with him and treasure our time together.
I always feel so giddy when he comes threw the front door from work yeah I got it bad!!!
