We have been married for 10 years on May 15th!! I can't believe it has been that long. We have been together for 12 years!! We have the most wonderful children ever!! Jake surprised me with a rented Charger for our date, I LOVE fast cars. I don't think he realized how much I did until we started our date. We went to dinner and went dancing. It was very nice to just be together and forget that we have responsiblities, stresses and children. The children stayed with Jake's sister Amy for the night. We got home at 3am, it was nice to remember the reasons we got married in the first place.

On Saturday, Kendra and Maliyah had a birthday party at 11am, which you could imagine was hard for us because we had stayed up all night. The party theme was a Tea Party, so the girls wear very cute pink dresses. Courtney spent the rest of Saturday with her cousin Mariah. Justin and Austin stayed home and played with Dad while I got my hair done.

Things are going really well. There is a saying my Dad always says "it's a GREAT day to be alive".

  5. Congratulations on the ten years and making it through all the stress within it. Jake doesn't even look old enough to date yet! I just finished the book and it should be placed in every waiting room so people would learn their problems are so small compared to what you endure daily. All of you are such an inspiration. Rita

  6. Your dad didn't invent that phrase, sorry.

    "Rita"-- some people have problems that are just as bad as their's, and some are even worse. So don't speak for everyone when you make ignorant statements like that. I don't understand why people are so "inspired" by them-- do they have a difficult situation? Yes, of course, but anyone else would have to handle it too, if they were in the same situation... although, others might do it more quietly, with greater maturity, and less media attention to feed their egos.
