One more post on my past!

Since this blog is about my life I thought it would be best to start the 1st few posts about my past... Donovan is camping this weekend, so I have some free time right now!

We have friends in many places. On of the places we OFTEN visit is Pagosa Springs Colorado. Donovans very good friend(s) Nathan and Luke Hoffman have family and friends up there. Pagosa is such a beautiful place that we love to go often. Here are a few pictures of us hanging out with friends in Pagosa!





Now on to a more personal detail of my life... I have a cousin who is serving twenty years in a federal penitentiary in Lompoc CA. We where very close before he was sentenced. We still are, however we communicate via letters and only see each other every few years. Let me start by saying, yes he did do something wrong, but let me also say, that the crime he committed does NOT warrant a twenty year sentence (and I am not just being biased either). One day, maybe I will tell you what he did. He did not murder someone, or commit a drug crime. I miss him dearly, and if I had the money I would go see him every six months. Donovan and I went to go see him in March of this year. We took pictures while at the prison, as soon as I scan those I will post them. With this trip to California we also decided to vacation a few days in Santa Barbara (Lompoc is about 40 miles north of Santa Barbara). My GOODNESS Santa Barbara is a beautiful place.


Although having my cousin in prison has been extremely hard on my family and I, through the love of Jesus Christ I have learned to except it. God is working in wonderful ways in my cousins life, and it is truly blessing to see his transformation!

For some reason my photos are not posting in the correct spots... sorry. One last thing!!! Donovan and I have both graduated from the University of Phoenix with our Bachelor degree's!!! Donovan received his in Information Technology and I received mine in Business Management!!!! Pictures from that are below!!!!



On Tuesday I will start posting about the present! Hopefully we will find out the sex of our 1st born! More from me then!!!!!
