I've finished "the book". 3+ years of tears, heart ache, joy and happiness combined all into this book. Time to wrap up this "novel" of my life. Time to write a new book. Thank you to everyone for following my story, for supporting me and loving me and my family. You've truly touched my life for the better. You can purchase it here. You can also buy the iPad/iPhone version.

3 years later...
Has it really been 3 years? ! Funny how not long ago time was ticking slowly by. Now I see it whizzing by, & I'm trying to get it to slow down just a little bit. Carter turned 8 in August and is going to be baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in the middle of November. Jeff, I'm sure is so proud of him. Sometimes I still see him as that little 5 year old boy, so young and he's now growing into a young man! Kennedy is 4.5 years old, quiet the chatterbox and the most complimentary child I've ever met. She always has something nice to say to someone. She reminds me of Jeff in that way. He's probably shocked at how much she talks when he tunes in to see her. We thought she'd never talk sometimes and now we wonder if she's ever going to stop talking. Tony & I have been married 2.5 years now and have welcomed 2 additional children to our family. Adalynn is now 21 months old and a spit fire child. She knows who Jeff is and its so fun to see her recognize him and accept him as a part of our family. In September we welcomed a much anticipated baby boy (Channing) to our family. We couldn't be happier. The kids so desperately wanted a brother and were ecstatic when they found out they were getting their wish. Carter is happy to finally have a brother and is a great help with him. Life seems to keep moving forward no matter what challenges come along. Life is good, not always easy or fun but in the end its worth it. I love seeing my kids grow and knowing that Jeff is constantly watching over us. I look forward to Carter's baptism and Channing's blessing because I know Jeff will be there right next to Tony continuing to guide him and help him. I know how truly blessed I've been these past 3 years. All the love and support and prayers that have been sent our way. There were days that I couldn't wait till it was a month since Jeff passed and then a year just because I couldn't stand the pain and the hurt and now I look back and I can see what great blessings have come from all that pain, all that hurt, from the trials that I've endured. I know I'll face other trials but I know if I have faith and endure to the end I'll be truly blessed. And when I'm struggling I just think I've been through some pretty hard stuff already so, I can make it through anything. And I know Jeff is proud of me, but not just me but of everyone for staying strong and enduring to the end. He'll always be watching over us...Till we meet again....
