My Hero!

One year ago today, my hero was granted his angel wings on the eve of his 85th birthday. I sure do miss this guy. If there was ANYONE who followed Christ, gave his ENTIRE life to Him, it was my Grandfather. There is not a day in my entire life I do not remember him going to mass. It didn't matter where he was, what he was doing, or how hectic his life with six children was. He went to mass EVERY day. He also prayed the rosary every day. I have no doubt in my mind that he is sitting at the right hand of our Father now.

Pall Bearers: My brother-Jason, and five cousins- Ryan, Justin, Jeremy, Aaron and JJ.

CPL Albert L Schachtner, US Army, served in the Korean War. He was buried with full honors and a 21 gun salute. It was one of the most emotional days of my life.

I sure do miss him. He was a true man of God, loving husband for 55 years, amazing father to six children, outstanding grandfather to 13 grandchildren and devoted great grandfather to 9.

Tomorrow will be his 86th birthday. I sure do love and miss this man.



School

The time has come.

The time has come that I have made the decision to go back to school.

The time has come that I have made the decision to go back to school for my Master degree. My Bachelor degree is just not enough for me.

The time has come.

The time has come when I play many roles- full time!

The time has come when I play many roles- full time- including Momma (most important), Wife, Daughter, Sister, Friend and (my newest role) graduate student.

It will be hard to be a Mom full time, work full time and be a full time graduate student. But I can do it. I need your prayers!

PS. You should really read "Who Moved My Cheese". It is a good book- An A-Mazing way to deal with change in your work and in your life!
