Hey Brad, we're so sorry for your loss. It's hard to find the right words to say when a person loses a loved one, because no matter what someone says, it really doesn't ease the pain. Just know that you have a lot of people here who care about you and are praying for you and your family. Take it one day at a time, and don't try to do too much at once. That's my best piece of advice for you. Mark, Kaitlynn and I are here for you if you need us. Take care of yourself and your family. God Bless *hugs*
Heads up coming in August - there is a hunt for Vadnais Heights Heritage Days, $200 prize. This is the 3rd year, in past clues are posted at the parks and on a phoneline but they are looking into how to post on the web.

the last few days/weeks have been very hard for all of us... me, my sister, my uncle... even Carolyn... she's been with me through all of it... cant express how much that means to me, and how much I appreciate all of the words and thoughts from everybody here that has sent them my way...
Im glad that we got to put whatever it was that we had the fight/disagreement about, behind us before it happened....
but it still sucks ass, anyway that you cut it..
I cant explain how empty it feels around here, right now...
In some ways it kinda feels like maybe he's not gone yet, even though he is....
I dunno..
Funeral will be on Tuesday, at Saint Johns church, over on Forest st. here in Saint Paul.....
HAVE A GREAT DAY ALL YOU WELL DESERVING COOLER CREW MOMS!!
May all of you be as fantastic and supporting as my mom is. She has been unbelievable through this whole thing Ali & I have been going through the last 3 months. Thanks Ma! :cool: :smile:
My daughter sent a beautiful card that arrived on Friday. We won't see Brian now until this evening. He's working today, but planning on making dinner for his Grandma and his Mom this evening.
This was passed on to me-thought you all would enjoy. Happy Mother's Day to all MOMs!!
So, we had this great 10 year old cat named Jack who just recently died. Jack was a great cat and the kids would carry him around and sit on him and nothing ever bothered him. He used to hang out and nap all day long on this mat in our bathroom.
Well, we have 3 kids and at the time of this story they were 4 years old, 3 years old and 1 year old. The middle one is Eli. Eli really loves chapstick. LOVES IT. He kept asking to use my chapstick and then losing it. So finally one day I showed him where in the bathroom I keep my chapstick and how he could use it whenever he wanted to but he needed to put it right back in the drawer when he was done.
Last year on Mother's Day, we were having the typical rush around and try to get ready for Church with everyone crying and carrying on. My two boys are fighting over the toy in the cereal box. I am trying to nurse my little one at the same time I am putting on my make-up. Everything is a mess and everyone has long forgotten that this is a wonderful day to honor me and the amazing job that is motherhood.
We finally have the older one and the baby loaded in the car and I am looking for Eli. I have searched everywhere and I finally round the corner to go into the bathroom. And there was Eli. He was
applying my chapstick very carefully to Jack's . . . rear end. Eli looked right into my eyes and said "chapped." Now if you have a cat, you know that he is right--their little butts do look pretty chapped.
And, frankly, Jack didn't seem to mind.
And the only question to really ask at that point was whether it was the FIRST time Eli had done that to the cat's behind or the hundredth.
And THAT is my favorite Mother's Day moment ever because it reminds us that no matter how hard we try to civilize these glorious little creatures, there will always be that day when you realize they've been using your chapstick on the cat's butt.
Thanks gang. But as you all know me, the hard part will be getting her to say yes...to me. I definitely think some sort of chloroform will be involved...
I'm so very sorry for the loss of your loved ones.
I know that there are no words can take away the seemingly unbearable pain. But please know that you are in our prayers and our thoughts each day.
I'm glad for you Nick that it sounds like you were able to make a peace with your Dad.
And Brad, I don't know how you have stayed sane these past few months. I am proud to read about how devoted you were to Amy. It sounds like you were both blessed to share each other's love.
Quick lesson: Making the statement to your girlfriend's father "I love your daughter, and I'm here today to negotiate an appropriate dowry for her" = bad idea. :chagrin:
maybe thats the reason my ex and I never went that far??? I just told her dad when I asked him it was funny!! I said so I guess you figerd it out I have been sticking it to your daughter for about 5 years now can I marry her??? he said I guess sence you put it that way I have been liveing off your money for the last five years YA!!! I was like WHAAAAA :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
he got his biz. shut down by the IRS and owed them AA LOT OF MONEY!!! like 15 years of back taxs andthen took his biz. and I didnt know here she was giveing him $500 a week to live on that I worked for!!! nice!! :lipsealed: :frown: :ooh: :eek:
They also have Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin and Red
Oh and Kid Rock
and Def Leppard, Foreigner, and Styx
that may be worth seeing :smile:
I talked to CM on the phone...
he seemed to be handling things quite well based on the circumstances...
He really appriciated the outpouring of thoughts and prayers.
Say the word if you need anything.
Say the word if you don't.
I'm sorry for your loss :frown:. Sad sad week...
soooo sorry nick :frown:
I'm so sorry for the loss of your loved ones. No words can make the hurt go away. Just know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
My thoughts and prayers are with both you and CM during this difficult time :frown:

Speaking of Brian - here's a link to an article in the Strib from a few days ago. http://www.startribune.com/462/story/1164838.html

does Brian know John Anfinson?
thats funny tammy
I received an email from an old friend that asked if I had taught him how to do the "walk-like-a-duck thing".
He truly enjoys those field trips. They did one this past week to do some bird watching with a group on the paddlewheel.
What a nice Mom's day present TV!
Very funny story Lucky
