Working on the cord for the vow renewal had been such an interesting experience and I have learned I am a bit of a perfectionist about how it looks #cy365 #handfastingcord #handfasting #jeaneshandfasting2015 #perfection #day90

 I had a great time working on the decorations for our vow renewal with 2 of my beautiful bridesmaids at the end while we just talked I decided that the extra tea lights would make an excellent pyramid shaped tower. #cy365 #day88 #decorations #handfasting #jeaneshandfasting2015

Today I was thinking about my brother FROG all day, wondering what he was up too and then he sent me a text message telling me he was doing the same thing. Love it then that happens. #cy365 #day85 #iLovebeingabigsister #littlebrothersarethebest

 Needed some new photos of Mystic so we stepped just outside and I got this one which I think may be my new favorite. I love how the sun hit her scales giving me great pictures and she loved the sun so it was a win-win

I am so in love with this man tight here and there is no way I would have made it through the past year without him. I feel so fortunate to have someone so caring, compassionate, and understand by my side as I have attempted to navigate the world for the first year since Mom passed away. I love you Joey and there is no way I could have done any if it without you ny my side. Thank you so much for standing with me through it all. #cy365 #JustTheTwoOfUs #Day77 #ilovemyhusband

Since we were all still together after our little trip to scatter Mom's ashes yesterday We all decided to go and visit my brother FROG's church and then socialized a bit before heading home.

Today was a really difficult day for me but also a good day. Today Joey, my brothers, and as many of my family members as possible came together to honor Mom's wishes to have her ashes scattered at her favorite spot to relax, and hang out. It was at one of her favorite vacation spots from when she was younger. So we found a beautiful waterfall to take her ashes. Somehow what started as a very emotional day ended with laughter as we explored the surrounding area and shared some of our favorite stories about Mom. It was not at all like I expected it to be but then again that kind of sounds like Mom which I find very fitting.

Capture Your 365 ~ Day 71

These two are just so precious. They are my niece and nephew on my side of the family.Today they had their first little photo session at my apartment and they are just so sweet they might give me a toothache. My nephew's expressions while he held his little sister were priceless and so were the sweet kisses he gave her. My favorite though was when he tried to pet her face. He was really gentle with her when he did and seemed kind of proud that he was being sweet. So much love in my heart for these two. #cy365 #day71 #iLovebeinganAunt #somuchsweetness #miniphotosession #NieceAndNephew

Today is the day that marks one year since I received the worst phone call in my life, the one that told me Mom had passed away. Now it is a year later and it still doesn't seem real and I am not sure it ever will. Today I made a slideshow video to honor her incredible life that included a ton of photos of her a few of her favorite songs plus an original that one of my brother FROG which he wrote for her memorial service. If you would like to see the video click this link.




Dear Mom,

I miss you so much. I miss you more than I ever thought possible. I still pick up the phone to call you. When we get together as a family and Orangutan comes in from smoking I still pause to see you come in right behind him like you always did. There are just so many little things that I miss things that at the time seemed so small but made up so much of my life with you. Like I said I miss you.  I also want you to know that I love you and I always will. Saturday we are going to take your ashes to that favorite spot of yours and put you to rest finally. I know that you will be at peace there and while I don't know that it will be any easier to live with out you, knowing you are at peace will help I think. I am glad that you are pain free and I know that your spirit is soaring high and  full of laughter and peace. I am sure you are keeping Roxi and your angle grandbabies company playing and laughing with them while you watch over you loved ones. These thoughts make it easier to live without you but life will still never be the same. Rest easy Mom and know that I love you more than I ever could tell you and I miss you every day.

Love,

Sketer

Our nephew had so much fun eating lunch at Aunt Nichole and Uncle Joey's house. His favorite item was pears that day but he also like his apples once he figured out the trick to them. He was adorable as he showed us what he had to eat and laughed as he did. I just love him to pieces.

I love this man so much and truly feel blessed to have him as my husband. We are in the home stretch of planning our handfasting and I can hardly wait to renew our vows it is going to be amazing. I never would have dreamed 10 years ago I would love him more now than I did then but each day he gives me another reason to love him.

Somebody sure loves his uncle Joey. I think this is my new favorite photo of Little Man and Joey. Watching Joey and our nephew hang out, play games and do stuff together just melts my heart almost as much as watching Little Man's face light up when Joey walks in the room. Love these two so much.

These kids have touched my heart for over 3 years when the youngest one was only 3 months old. Today as he approaches another another birthday I an excited because I have been fortunate enough to watch him and his sisters grow. They are so funny and caring and looking to try new things. I deem so blessed to continue to be apart of their lives.
