Goodness sakes...it's been almost a week and I haven't blogged. For shame Kasey!
This week was good. It was my first FULL week back to work between all the holidays and being sick, and I must say, my pocket book will be very very happy. I am thankful to the Lord for this week, as I actually felt healthy enough to work the whole week and was even back to my bubbly sassy self. One person even made the remark "I guess you're feeling better, huh". Isn't that great. I read a devotion this week that has really stuck out to me. I am pretty sure I have read it before, because I have one devotional book my mom got me that I love and I am going through it for the second time, but for some reason this stuck out to me now. It said.."what you think, will be. If you think good will towards someone (that is normally not your favorite person) then that will come and that good will, will follow you. If you THINK health, then health will come". Mainly what it was saying is, HAVE POSITIVE THOUGHTS, our minds can convince us of so much JUNK, especially mine, that we get bogged down. So think happy, and happiness will be! I really liked it!!
Friday came so fast, and Shley came over to spend the night. We watched Fame, which for the most part was pretty good. We started P&P but, shew, I am old and it was late. I was OUT halfway through. I got a call from mom in the middle of the night, but missed it. So i called her back at nearly three am, and one of the horses had gotten out. She had to work realllly early this morning, so I had to go mend fence so our trickster wouldn't get out again. An hour later and a few scratches from the thorny trees surrounding the break through area, it was good to go. I felt like an old fashioned cowboy, cept I wasn't on a horse riding fence, but a four wheeler. Shley helped me, poor kid. She wasn't expectin to have to do that, but I am thankful she was there to help. The fence was tore up pretty good. After that, we came home and made lunch. YUM. We had seared chicken with gravy, biscuits, and cornbread dressing. YUM YUM YUM. I know, no veggies, but hey...there were some green things in the dressing. ;) We then watched the Curious Case of Benjamin Button, a really sad but good movie. I have TV guardian so I don't know about the language, but there were some areas I didn't approve of. Overall good though. And it has changed my opinion of Brad Pitt, I have sided with the rest of the world (FINALLY) and now think he is gooorgeous. shew. The movie is like threeee hours long though. After that I took Shley home, and then went and got my coffee. I took a nap, and now I am getting ready to go to a concert at a local coffee shop. Hopefully its good, I think its just small local Christian bands, but I hear they are good! Have a great night!

Weekend Over...again
My weekend is over, and my left pointer finger is twitching. Hello random. ;)
Friday night I worked late, came home to the parents house and picked up my babies, then went home and did much of nothin. Saturday I woke up early and got ready for the long awaited....auction!! I went on the sole purpose of buying a four wheeler, God willing. He knows the desires of my heart, and as materialistic as it may seem to some...I want a four wheeler (ATV)...bad!! I prayed if it was His will I would get one. Well, it must not be His will right now. The one, THEEEE one (oh it was beautiful) that I wanted, 2006 Bombardier 800 4x4 with only 110 miles... 110!! Thats NOTHIN for a four wheeler. Oh, and did I mention it was CAMO! I want a camo four-wheeler. Anyway, Bombardier's are the cadillac, mercedes, beamer, etc. of 4 wheelers, and it went for one of those prices too. Alas, no four wheeler. Tear. I was really bummed. But, if it's meant to be a better one will come along. Preferably a Yamaha Kodiak or Grizzly 450 to 550, blue or camo. ;) I can dream right. Anyway, I was at the auction most of the day. After that I had Choir Practice. We have TWO new choir members! WOOOOT! THEN, Shley (pronounced sh-lee) went and rented a movie and got pizza. I liked the ending of the movie, and a few parts in between. But seriously...Hollywood has gotten SOOOOOOO dirty, just since I was a kid. It's pretty sad what this world is coming to, is already in I should say. But, none the less it was a fun night! Sunday (Today) was church. I teach the preschool class, and I have THREE 2 year olds, and TWO 4 year olds. I love my kiddos, so much! But, God really helps me through the class, whoooooeeee, talk about endurance. They got enough energy to run power to an entire town, I'm pretty sure. ha! So so cute tho! Then I went grocery shopping and spent to much money, and now I'm broke. After that I took a lovely Sunday afternoon nap. Then woke up and read for awhile. Tonight was church, and it was ammmmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaaaazing!!!!!!! I just loove love love, that GOD, LOVES me! seriously...out of all the world, and He loves and cares about ME. Woo, praise the Lord!! Well, that's the weekend. Have a good week!

Want Some?
Do you need some encouragement today? Whatever you may face...I think this scripture covers it...ready?
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. II Timothy 1:7
I am a worrier...about everything. Mainly a hypochondriac. I have let it get to the point of fearing everrrryyything is wrong with me. So bad I can't even function and am sad all the time. But you know, God does not want me to live like that. So each time I try to dig myself back into that hole, He gets me back out. I hope I am learning from these times in my life. To trust, not fear. To love, not fear. To LIVE, not fear. Because..."For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind"

Sunday Morning
Well it's Sunday Morning and I'm feelin' might fine...well, the best I have in about 5 days anyway. :) Thank the Lord for the rest last night, not waking up stuffed, and my face not hurting as bad. I am not sure if I have ever had a sinus infection before, but woooeee it stinks. Course' I'm a wuss when sick, so ya know.
It's almost time to go for Sunday School, so I better go. Just wanted to thank the Lord for feeling better. Have a great day, go to church and worship Jesus!

On The Fly
So...being the lover of music that I am, I often come up with songs that I just make up and start singing a melody. Most of the time...those songs are really good. But alas, when I try to remember them to record the way the music floats and words go, I can't. BOO. Last night, as I was coming home from work, I was thinking of the rather sassy and jazzy song, "Summertime"...summertiiiime...and the livin' is easy, so on and so forth. I truly enjoy that genre of music. Probably because its so unique, and sassy, kind of like me. Thank goodness there is only one of me, poor world if there were two. haha. ANYWAY, back to the subject. I was thinking of a "sound" similar to that song, and came up with my own song about how the devil has had his fun long enough, he's done, done, done, throwing me around (these aren't the words, like i said, I forget) I have given him ground long enough, and he's done. I wish I could have recorded it, it was almost like my soldiers anthem. As a soldier for the Lord, sometimes you can allow yourself to get down, discouraged, worried, and so on. With me, worry is my everpresent thorn in my side. So last night, this song came to me and it was encouraging. I felt power, my power coming from my Father. He is good, and He loves me,and HE is my strength. i just wanted to share, and hey...I'm on a blogging roll. ;)

Home On The Range
Well my range is my living room. Home sick today. I decided to go to the quick care last night, turns out I did have a mild case of pink eye, and sinitus. If my symptoms don't improve with my sinuses, the PA(physicians assistant) said I need to exploure the possibility of allergies. I have never really had allergies in my life...so, I am hoping it clears up. I am on eye drops, antibiotics, and cheapo generic saline solution up the nostrils so I can thin out my muchus. MMMM...didn't know you were gonna be grossed out when ya read this, did ya?! HA. I wish I were at work, because I need the mula, but I did NOT sleep well and I feel pretty blah and worn out. So hopefully this will help, rest always seems to.
Despite my sickness, I DID get the kitchen cleaned last night. With the exception of sweeping the floors. Wahoo, that felt good to get something accomplished.
I guess I'm not to interesting, because that is all I can think of to blog about. BUT, atleast I am blogging!

BOOOO On Sickness
Well, since a few days before my DC trip (beginning of December) I have been trying to get sick. In the third week of December it finally hit, and I actually went home a half day early because my eye was a fountain, as was my nose. I felt like I needed to sneeze, but couldn't. Ech, awfulness. Well, it calmed down to the point I didn't have to get in the shower in the morning just for the steam to clear my sinuses. My first morning not doing that was two days ago I think, then yesterday evening I started to notice build up again in my sinuses and drainage in my throat. Last night I woke up arond 1 am with symptoms of pink eye. Sorry if this will gross you out, but my phlegm is not clear anymore...blah, I am just tired of bein sick. I am thankful, because I know I could be sicker, so thank the Lord. But still, I am ready to be well. Your prayers would be greatly appreciated.
Have a great day.

2 Minutes
Okay I need to leave for work in, well...two minutes ago. So this will be short and sweet, but atleast I am posting.
This weekend was productive. I got allll my Christmas decor down and organized and packed. Still haven't moved it to the shed yet, but hey, it's a step. I cleaned my car, wahoooo! I got my grocery shopping done as well. And, two or three loads of laundry. Even folded. BAM! I still need to clean the house, but that will probably have to wait until Wednesday because TONIGHT is the FIESTA BOWWWWLLLLL!!! GOOOOOO BRONCOS! How I wish I was in Phoenix, AZ tonight! Well, it was so hard to get up for work this morning, but alas I have a job, and thank the Lord, a way to pay bills. :)
I hope you all have a fabulous wonnnderful day!!

Im Posting
WOOOHOOO! Happy New Year everyone!!
I have been sooo horrible about blogging lately, but truly, I enjoy have the little diary of my life to go back and take a look at from time to time! So, with this new year, I will try to be better at blogging.
My ten year class reunion will be this year, ahhhhhh!! I cannot believe I graduated HS nearly ten years ago, OLD.
Christmas went by so fast, so so so fast. But, just in the nick of time, I got all my baking done for my treat tins to give to family and friends. I got a new delicious wonderful, decadent, awesome (need I go on) recipe from a girl at work. Oreo Truffles...and only three ingredients. They have been the hit of this Christmas season, they are sooo gonna be a staple for the holidays now. Although, nearly 350 truffles later, I admit, I am siccckkkk of making them! I also did chocolate dipped potato chips, chocolate dipped soft candy cane sticks, and puppy chow. Yummy. I didn't get to cookies, but considering I did it all on Christmas Eve in about 4 hours, I though I did pretty good!
Now Christmas is over, sad. But I do enjoy the Christmas decor (as if i need more) that is on 50-75% off. Hello new lights! Gift bags, tins for next years goodies, woohoo! New Year's eve was spent in two places. First and old friend from my rodeo days, was having a party so I went to that for a little bit. We have reconnected on Facebook, and it has been sooo great. The weather was awful that night, but my little car made it through the 3-4 inches of snow, even if I was a bit nervous I was going to get stuck from time to time. Around 8:15 I headed to church for our annual Watch Night service. Of course, we have food first, so that was yummy, then we started service around 10, stopping just before midnight, to pray in the new year. It was that night 11 years ago, I FIRST came to The Church of God. What a adventure it has been, the places I have gone, life happenings, wowee, all of it is crazy, but ya know GOD IS STILL THERE AND HE IS SO GOOD! I am so thankful!
This year has been so hard as far as missing Damon. Still, with God's help it is bearable, but for some reason on this third Christmas after his passing, I had the hardest time of all. I love my husband, and it seems so strange that he is gone, yet the time I was married, seems so far away as well. I just wish he was here, but God knows.
I hope you all (that still read this) have a wonderful new year, and that God will be the most important One in your life. Much Love, Kasey

Turkey
I have a almost 19 lb turkey marinating in the fridge right now. I sure hope it tastes good for tomorrow's work pot luck. I am trying a butter flavored marinade. I was going to make my own, but I saw this one at the store and it looked interesting, so there ya go. :) And, it's easier.
I leave for DC in just two weeks, LESS than two weeks. I am really really excited. Not only to see the sights, someplace new, but to spend time with my cousin. I don't get to see him much, but he and I grew up together, and now that he lives so far away...well it's hard not seeing family.
Off the beaten path with this thought here, but Smokey Robinson has a really nice voice. He is on TV singing for some ice skating thing right now, and I just thought I would share. lol.
If I don't get on here before Thursday, HAPPY THANKSGIVING! love to all!

Been Awhile
Not to much new going on. But mostly the same thing over and over. And hey, that aint a bad thing! One thing that is consistant, is God's love, gracy, and mercy that gets me through each day. He is my Savior, and I love HIM and need Him in all parts of my life. Work is still fun, there are lots of ups and downs, but I am so thankful for a job right now. God is good and always provides for me. Church has been so amazing, it always is, but lately there is such an encouragement from the Lord to keep going, keep fighting. Really, HE fights our battles, amen?! God knows what is ahead for His children, and the battles are stronger, toughter, longer, but WHO is the same, yesterday, today, and forever? GOD!! That my friends is encouraging!
I have been jogging, and it feels good. I can feel it in my body, and its nice. Woo. The exercise and sore muscles actually feel good. Make you feel like youre doin something!
If you read this, please pray for my teeth. That may sound funny, but they have been aching lately. Not having insurance, I really don't want to go unless it gets unbearable, so I will keep praying and ask that you pray too.
I love you all. God loves you more!

Candles?
Today I made 12 candles... hand poured, soy wax, candles. Five different flavors. Candle making is a science, and one I normally don't follow all the rules on. When I say rules, I mean there is a "melting temp", a "pouring temp", and paying attention to all the "flash points" of the different scents. Now, I did pay attention to the flash points because, well...no one wants a fire in their kitchen, right? But last week, I made 7 candles and really tried to pay attention to the melting and pouring temperatures. RESULT? Nearly flawless tops on all of my candles, and good adhesion to the sidewalls of my jars (Ball canning jars). I will admit, I paid a certain amount of attention to temps today, butnot nearly as much as last week, and my tops prove it. Some of them...I don't think I will even try to sell at the bazaar. In all my efforts to do my fun new fall/Christmas scents, I FORGOT to scent one batch of wax. And, it was after I had poured it, and set the wick...that I noticed. Thank the Lord, it hadn't set yet (except for one) and I was able to pour the wax back in, scrape that which had set, and remelt it, and add the scent. I scrubbed the jars (the good thing about soy wax, is to clean you only need hot water and soap) pulled the wicks out, and retabbed with a new wick, violla i was ready to re pour. Tonight, after coming home, I noticed...I had forgotten to empty one of the scentless candles...needless to say I have a jar of scent free wax, maybe I should save it as an in case of emergency candle. Just in case you are curious, my scents are:
Kettle Corn (yes, it smells like sugary popcorn, it's neat)
Cranberry Marmalade...one of my favorites!
Very Vanilla (usually a crowd pleaser)
Spiced Wassail, a heavy scent thrower. Makes your house smell yummy
and lastly, Home for the Holidays. I am not as crazy about this one as I thought, but it does smelly woodsy and pepperminty, maybe someone will like it. :)
This week has been a blur. Last night was my band meeting, and after the scripture and lesson time, we had a big bone fire (HUGE) thanks to my dad, and a hay ride, thanks to mom and dad. Mom and Sybil drove us around (well, mom did, sybil rode) for about 30 minutes, we had nine on the trailer with 5 bales of hay around the edges and racks up around the perimeter, so we wouldn't fall out. It was lots of fun. As we would drive by the cars, in the dark mind you, we would wave and shout "HEEEYY" and most would wave back, I am sure some thought we were crazy! It was loads of fun. We made smores, roasted hot dogs, and I made home made apple cider. Okay, so I sorta cheated. I bought pre made cider, but I also added a few things. I put the cider in the crock pots and added three sticks of cinnamon, an orange sliced in rounds and split between both pots, then also quartered an apple and added to each, topped it with about 1 tbsp of sugar per pot and let that heat up. I must say, it was pretty good. :)
We went to the corn maze on Wednesday, and didn't ever make it out the right way. But, we did make it out of where we started...it was pretty fun. The night ended in a rain shower, but we were mostly done before the rain started to fall to hard. I was glad to get to be with the youth. I realy love them, and their desire to spend time with one another. Most of all, I appreciate their seriousness and desire to press in with the Lord.
My heart is heavy tonight. I am not sure who all has seen the video I posted on my facebook account, but it is about the call to anguish by David Wilkerson. I don't know who this man is, or what he stands for, but this message is good. I realized, I have become complacent about so many things. I pray for my family, but do I get under such a burden for their souls, that I am in anguish?? God doesn't call people to be bench warmers. If I won't let Him use me, He will find someone who will let His will be accomplished in their life. I want to find an anguish for this world, to know I am doing my part, however small or great it may be. I know God loves me, I know He loves you, He is an all knowing and good God. But I know, He has so much more planned for each of us, than we can even begin to think of or imagine. He is the I AM.
Much love.

Heya!
It's FALL! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I am so excited about fall. Such a wonderful time of the year!!! Spicey cented candles, fresh baked pumpkin and zuchini bread, fuzzy sweaters, beautiful leaves in my favorite colors (brown, red, orange), pumpkins, corn mazes, clear crisp mornings...need I go on?? UGH! I just love this time of year!! To me, it's the most peaceful time of the year. It is also harvest time. Harvest. Hmm...so much is entailed in that word. It's the time where a farmer reaps the benefits of the hard work he started putting in this time a year ago, all of the time spent tilling his earth, watering it to keep it moist, cultivating fertilizers into the rich soil, making even rows for good watering, finding the perfect seed. I wonder if we (and I am speaking to me) put that much effort into harvest one soul for the Lord, how much more would our results be. As this time of harvest is here, God grant me the spiritual eyes to see the crop before my eyes, and help me to be a worker of your fields.

Smith and Wesson
Not much to report...other than I bought a handgun. :) A smith and wesson model 60 with a 3 inch barrel and adjustable sites. I know that probably won't excite to many people, but I am excited. Growing up with the father, and in the family I did, hunting, guns, and the outdoors were/are a big part of our lives. Now my dad isn't much into hand guns, but I wanted something to have when Mom and I are out four wheeling by ourselves, should we encounter any wild animals, or...people. I also bought a helmet to use when four wheeling. I never rode with one before, but have noticed a trend towards safety and people telling me I needed one, so I caved. The Lord is good, and thats all that matters most. Love to all.

SO...UNDEDICATED!
I haven't blogged since August 25th! Good grief. I am pitiful.
Today, I am blogging via free wi-fi at the Salt Lake City airport. This weekend was great. I got to attend my churches General Assembly, and was so abundantly blessed at how the Lord moved. One of the best messages I have ever heard came on the Youth Program Saturday night. Brother Brandon Hale gave an awesome message about stepping out of the boat (when Peter walked on the water) and if we are going to call on the Lord (as Peter did) we best be ready for Him to grab our hand and usher us to the shore. Meaning, leading us through the seas of life, no matter what they are, to get us to Heaven's shore. I am sure he had more to it than that, and I am not quoting him...but that is what I feel I personally got out of the message. He is our God, He is waiting to help us, but we can't keep taking our life and our situations in our own hands. We HAVE to re commit everything to Him! And KEEP it committed. It was just a fabulous-ly blessed, amazing, wonderful time. :) I am so glad I was able to go. Hopefully next year, Lord willing, I may be able to attend for the whole time.
As far as a trip run down, I flew in late Thursday night then drove straight to Clevenland and got checked into my room. Thank the Lord for traveling mercies. I was very nervous about traveling by myself, in the dark, with the perfect time for deer to be feeding and running across the highways, what if I got a flat tire, and so on...I didn't get to Cleveland until 2 am, so I was also worried i would get tired. But I kept remembering something Sis Joyce said to me before I left when I voiced my late night traveling concerns to her...she said, the Lord will take care of you. So simple. It repeated itself through my mind, actually, it was the Lord speaking to my heart. I really didn't get tired, I saw two deer, but they stayed on their side of the road, no rain, no car troubles, and seriously...that trip from Nashville to Cleveland has never went so fast. I plugged my ipod into the auxillary port and bam...I was on my way. The Lord really really helped me. He must have sped the time up or something! I got up early and went to the Friday morning session. It was great to see the growth and all the people. Saturday was WMB breakfast, I will admit, I was lagging...we were to be there at 7, and I kept hitting snooze until 6:40. Somehow, I managed to get ready, even curl my hair, not forget anything, and pull into the restaurant parking lot by 7:05. Shew. :) But that's how I roll...rushed. I sang that morning and was pretty sure I heard my voice crack more than once, but oh well, I sing to and FOR the Lord, not myself. That night my girls, Chels and Hays spend the night with me. We were up to sing on prelimaries the next morning...but before bed could come...we had to find a milkshake. No joke, we pulled into hardies drive through and as soon as Chels went to grab my purse from the trunk, they turned the menu box lights off and said over the speaker "we're closed" ha...we laughed. So then we went to BK, open, YA!!! "Our shake machine is down"...then it was really hilarious...so we crossed the street to McDonalds...ahhh, McDondalds satisfied the shake quest. Our choir director is ALSO chels and hays mom, I knew if I didn't have them there...I'd be in trouble. She said 8, we had to be there by 8. Out of pure stubborness (me, stubborn??? ha) I refused to be late. I got all packed, hair curled and put into my Ginger do (will explain later) and was there EARLY. YAYA again! Now for Ginger, we were doing a skit using the characters and story line of Gilligans Island, and for some reason, I was chosen as Ginger. I don't feel I fit the role of Movie Star Hottie-esque, but I digress. It was a TOTAL hit! Sadly assembly came to an end. I made my way back to Nashville, technically Smyrna, to see my friends. I had hoped to make it to Antioch that night, but Emily called saying it was over. I ended up leaving later than I had thought from cleveland. I really wanted to see my family, but it was late by the time i got to Smyrna and already dark. Emily had a little bday party planned for me and EVEN MADE ME A CAKE! It was great to see the face I did. My mini me, aint so mini anymore. She almost comes to eye level now..sigh. Why must time pass. ;) Emily got me some way cute sun glasses that I have been wearing today, and a awesome picture of us, which I look uber cute in. No I am not being boastful, I rarely like a picture of myself, and this one is good, SO I AM KEEPIN IT! And a uber cute wallet, in one of my favorite colors, and some head bands which I am wearing oene of them right now.
Now I am on my way back home. I miss Idaho. When I moved back, I really missed TN and all it had been to me in my life. All the memories it held. It took me a good six months to transition back to Idaho life. I will never forget the time I had in TN, and it will always hold a very very special place in my heart, my friends and family are tucked deep inside and make me who I am today. But, I do feel excited to be getting back to the state I grew up in, the place and family and friends who make up my history and now my future. I am ready to be home.
I love you all.

About That Time ;)
Well, it's about time...I need to post. :)
As I type, Facing the Giants is playing in the background. I have been almost a month without cable...any sort of TV except for movies. I don't miss it as much as I thought I would, but I was all excited for Dateline the other night, yes dateline...only to realize I couldn't watch it. BOO. I was at my parents and thought, oh I'll head home so I can watch it, it sounds interesting...and it's been a long time since I sat down to watch Dateline. Then...as I was watering the horses (filling their stocktank, not watering them so they would grow like a plant..haha, I crack myself up)I was like..ah, I CAN'T watch dateline. I don't have TV. I have those converter boxes, but no antenna. So I either need to get an antenna, or do something. I miss the noise mainly, but some of the food network shows. And, as much of a nerd as I am, I miss the 24 hour news channel. :)
Dinner was good tonight, I made frozen pizza. YUM. It was the wal-mart brand,like Digornio. I actually thought it was better than digornio. YUM-O
Momma has been outa town visiting her friend in pocatello. They are professional thrift store shoppers. Even went out of state to go thrift store shopping. I hope she is having fun...but i am ready for her to come home. I miss my momma.
Well, tis all to report. Nightie night.

Tuesday Days
today i procrastinated in getting ready for work...again. then i got to work and my co worker brought me white chocolate mocha from starbucks, outa the blue. that was nice. :) I was excited...drank that thing in about five minutes.
Had choir practice tonight,then evening service,and now i sit at home just relaxing and reflecting.
Life is so full of choices, I want to make the right ones. So many things I would do different with my life. Chill out and realize in the grand scheme of things, I shouldn't sweat small stuff. laugh more, worry less. Be happy. ya know.
I can hardly believe fall is almost here. Christmas is only four months away. Time so flies. I guess that is all for tonight. I know, not to much that is interesting to read. But, have a great night :)

Alone
Is anyone out there anymore. Not many comments lately. I am trying to be better about commenting myself. I guess maybe my posts just aren't to thrilling.
I have been thinking alot about my husband lately. I obviously think about him, but even more so lately. I really miss him. He was so great to me. I know he is in heaven...and I know..I have said it all before, and I have said that I have said it all before...but I really miss him. I guess it's selfish, but I wish he was still here with me. I miss my nephews, my family in TN, the memories of our young married life...all the good times, the bad, the in between. I just miss life with him.
Mom and I are heading to my grandmas tomorrow. Albion, Idaho. Population 100 something. Its a reallllly small town. REALLY small. But, there is a ski resort up there...ha.
I am getting my hair cut tomorrow. Nothing extreme really, just about two inches off the bottom to make the layers closer.
Guess that is all. night.

Time
Time is such a funny thing. I remember a great piece of advice I got after Damon's passing. It came from one of the most encouraging, rock solid, dependable, Christian men that I know of, Brother Steve Fox. He told me that time never makes the pain go away, it just makes it less frequent. So right now, I sit here, missing my husband. And I know that this is normal, and I will always always love and miss him. On one hand it seems like just yesterday that he went home, but it also seems like ages since he was here. Damon was one of the few people in this world that "got" me. He loved me for me, and cherished me. It's amazing to know the feeling of being cherished. I miss him so very much. I love him still.
