Oh, and I forgot, Hannah got her first kitten! Baby Belle!

A lot to catch up on...

Sorry I haven't been back in over a year. A lot has happened! I have been having serious back issues, Jim's sister went through surgery for breast cancer, our best friend had to have her son taken into state custody (for violence towards her and her fiance) and he went into a special needs school where he lives on campus, Hannah took Jim's epilepsy medication and nearly died, my sister was diagnosed with cancer (around November) and died from liver failure due to the cancer in January, my father died two days before Christmas, Jim's mother has had some health issues throughout it all (including just recently having a pace maker put in), Jim had a heart attack in January and had to have a stent put in to keep his arterie open, and my best friend had to have a hysterectomy (her uterus was twice the size it should've been). It has been insane!

On top of it all I've been out of work since December of 2007! I am beyond the stressed out point and am feeling like an emotional cripple these days. I cry for no apparent reason! I was wondering if I was pregnant, but I'm not. Thank God for that favor! We couldn't handle all of that, too!

Oh, and Jim found his son (from a previous relationship) and now we see him as often as possible. He's seventeen and looks just like Jim and Hannah! He will now be spending one week a month with us as well as getting together for holidays and just too hang out. He's seventeen and has a part time job and a girlfriend, so we won't see him all the time.

Oh, and my niece had a baby in October. Lily Rae, she is cute as can be!

Well, now you are caught up on my life. It has been exciting!

This is (from left to right) Alex (Jim's son), Jim and Hannah. Don't they look alike?! Same facial features! It's uncanny!
