You know here it is the end of another year. When I look back over 2006 I can think of many, many, difficult situations and trials I've had to deal with. But there are also many wonderful things that took place too. I'd like to hope that 2007 will be even a better year than 2006 was.
I'd like to list a few things that i've been through. And also list the things that were so positive.
Bad things for 2006:
1. It started out in January when I went to Bosley Hair Restoration in Scottsdale, Arizona to have hair grafts put in my head. By the time April rolled around I had lost almost all the hair on the top of my head.My head went into shock after they had placed 1200 grafts . I had to go through the embarrassment and depression of that whole ordeal. I had to accept the fact that I needed a wig so I bought one and wore that for several months.
2. In June I had Kristi cut my hair. She cut it so that it was 1" all over my head. The emotional ordeal of that was so traumatic too. I remember having a panic attack in the mall because of feeling like everyone was staring at me. Feeling so ugly.
3. Having to see Shana go through the pain and sorrow of her divorce. How it affected her and the boys. Hardly seeing her smile. Seeing her cry. Seeing how hard it was for her to handle all the stress that comes along with divorce.
4. Having my new soninlaw Jake discover he has testicular cancer. What a blow that has been to he and Shana now after only being married 1 month. Seeing the worry on their faces. Knowing the road they have ahead.
The hard things in my life this year have been very emotional experiences for me. No one will ever know. But the good things that happened in 2006 far outweigh the bad ones.
Good things for 2006:
1. Troy proposed to Kori in April. She became a part of our family quickly because of her fun p ersonality. She fit right in. They were married in Sept in the Timpanogos Temple.
2. Shana started dating and having a fun time in her life for once. She met many good guys but found an extremely special one named Jake Gardner. To now see her smiling constantly, laughing, feeling good about herself. Seeing Brayden and Daxton loving Jake because of the wonderful person he is to them. Seeing them become a family in October.
3. Finding my half brother Jim Osborn in February of this year. Meeting he and his wife Jane for dinner and going camping with them this summer.
4. Having all my kids and grandkids with us when we go camping. Having Jared and Kristi buy a new trailer so they can always go with us. Seeing how happy that made them.
5. Having Roger healthy and also myself. What a blessing that is.
6. Having jobs that sustain us.
7. Having Troy be safe in Florida and also successful in selling the security alarm systems.
8. We had a beautiful little granddaughter born in April. She was born to Jared and Kristi and her name is Gentry Rilyn. What a blessing grandbabies are!!
The list could go on and on.
I hope that this new year will bring wonderful things to my family. That each of them will be blessed with those things that they are in need of and that they are praying for. They so deserve it.

Mom, Yes, I really think that the good outweighs the bad. Yes, you have had to go through so many tough times with your hair. But look- You have more hair now and your haircut is very cute! :) And I would go through what I have gone through a million times to have found Jake! I am the luckiest woman alive to be married to him! We are all very blessed! But yes, lets home that this next year we will be blessed even more!
Love you
And MERRY CHRISTMAS
I meant hope... LOL :)
