My husband and I were high school sweethearts and we have truly shared our entire lives together. We married young, worked hard, made a home, and raised two beautiful children.
We made a promise many years ago to love each other forever, and I'm proud to say that we have kept that promise through all the ups and inevitable downs of life.
He had a serious health scare recently; thankfully he is doing well and we have been told we can expect a full recovery. But during that scary, difficult time, I realized even more how much I love him, need him, and could not live without him.
I made this video as a tribute to him. Thank you for this wonderful life we share together. I love you forever.

YES, I am a terrible Raggie mom! HOW LONG has it been since I have given an update on my two sweet boys?! I know, I know, I've been dreadfully, terribly negligent, and I can only plead "crazeeee busy". Please forgive!
OK, so here goes:
Boo, our "seal bi-color", will be four years old on January 31, 2011. Hard to believe! He is SUCH a sweetheart. And just look at that face -- soooooooo cute, cute, cuuuuuuuute! I can hardly get enough of him!
Boo is also VERY vocal... always *complainin'* about something. Tooooo funny!
Bentley (aka "Squeak" -- because he rarely meows -- I think we've heard TWO true "meows" out of him his whole life so far. Every now and then he'll kind-of *chirp!* or *squeak*-- but that's about it!) is a "blue lynx mitted" who will be a year old on December 1, 2010. Whereas Boo is just so darn ADORABLE you can hardly stand it, Squeak is simply a striking, magnificent-looking animal.
They BOTH weigh the same right now -- 12.5 pounds! Which is kinda funny, because anyone who knows Ragdolls knows that they continue to grow and mature till about age 3 or 4 years old, so Squeak will likely (far!) outweigh Boo one day, because Boo is likely fully grown. And for a reference, when Boo was Squeak's age (10 months), he weighed about 9 pounds. Yep, that Squeak -- he's gonna be a "BIGGUN"'!!! That's OK, though, just more to snuggle and love!
Their favorite activities? Rip-snorting through the house at warp speed, then crashing and burning for a 4 hour nap on the bed or our favorite chair!
They also love mutual grooming... watching the bird feeder out the window... eating, of course (hey, it's one of MY favorite pasttimes, too!!!)... and OH how they love to *PLAY*! Quail feathers, feather wands, Da Bird, and those little furry mice (that Squeak "kills" and eviscerates in about 15 minutes flat) are their current favorite toys.
And have I mentioned that Squeak actually FETCHES, and he has since he was a baby?! Yep, just like a puppy dog! Sooooooo stinkin' cute!
OH yeah, in case you can't tell, I am totally smitten with these guys. Spoiled little furballs, indeed!!!
I'm a small-town girl with some big-city tastes!
I live my life contentedly with my husband, our two Ragdoll cats and one sassy Yorkie.
I'm happiest when I am *making something*... anything, really! Maybe it's a quilt, a bracelet, a pillow, a scrapbook -- or even just dinner. I'm definitely a girl who loves to use her hands; I get high on that *Ta Da!* "finished" feeling.
It's all fun and games until someone ends up in a cone!
