Having been a "Daddy's Girl" myself, I couldn't help my emotions on this day. Here was Kassie, on her way to her first dance, and in the company of the only man in her life, for now.
I remember how important my dad was to me at this age. She is 11 and at this age, boys still have cooties. Dad, however, does not. She was so excited about going on a date with her "Daddy". How fun it was to go shopping with her to get that special dress. I kept thinking that it would be no time before we would go shopping for Prom dresses.
How time fly's.... She wanted the perfect dress, and perfect shoes. She knew how she wanted to wear her hair, and asked if she could wear a little bit of gloss. Although she is used to wearing make up, it is only for dance. She knows that she can not, under any circumstance wear make up until she is older.
Dad had me order her a corsage for this special day. It was beautiful, and it reminded me of the scene in Footloose when the mom buys the corsage and really it was the dad who had gotten it. Oh me and my eighties movies. As I took pictures of them, I kept wondering what was going on in Sal's head. Was he sad that his little girl was growing up? Was he thinking that soon A BOY would be knocking on the door to pick her up for a dance. Whatever he or I were thinking did not matter to Kassie, because the only thing she was thinking was that she was going to a dance with her Daddy and was going to have the time of her life.

vous êtes conviés

Here are pictures of the invitations for Kassie's 13th Birthday party. I had so much fun making them. Hum...maybe because I used my three favorite colors, maybe because I like to make invitations, or maybe it's just because I LOVE to plan parties. Either way, here is a sneak peak. Sorry the pictures are so bad, my camera is dead and I used my phone.

Good things come to those who wait...

I was having one of those bad Mondays. One of those Mondays when everything seems to be going wrong. 1. Our phones at the office are not working. 2. Statements went out over the weekend and angry patients are calling to complain. 3. My coffee got cold and I had to throw it away, and now I have a caffeine headache. 4. My cell phone has been tied up all day because I'm having our calls forwarded to it. (good thing for rollover minutes). 5. My boss has just added two more things to my darker pink "TODO" notebook. And just as I was about to roll up in a ball and hide under my desk, I got this e-mail. Dear Kindle Customer, Today, we introduced Kindle 2, the next generation of our wireless reading device.

Where do I begin???

After a long absence from my blog, I am finally sitting down to post. So much has happened in the past month that I honestly don't know where to begin. December 23, 2009 turned my world upside down. My mom suffered a minor heart attack, and was taken by ambulance to Chandler Regional Hospital. When I arrived, she was in good shape, and she was talking. They ordered a CT Scan of her chest. When she got back to the ER from her test, every thing that could have gone wrong, did. She suffered another heart attack, this one was much worse. She was in-tubated and things were not looking very good for her. The next few days were spent waiting for tests to be run, consulting with Dr.s and praying. A lot of praying. We were finally told that she would need to undergo a quadruple bypass. There was a problem with that, because she was in critical condition. Her kidneys were failing, her blood pressure was to high, as was her blood sugar. And, she was to weak. The surgeon said that we would ...
