15th Wedding Anniversary
Yesterday we celebrated our 15th anniversary. Companionship is comforting. Jeff and I have grown together over the years. We continue to learn how to work with one another. We enjoy each other, laugh, have inside jokes, help each other keep perspective and love our family dearly. We have 4 wonderful kids, God in our lives and lots of love in our home. I am so grateful to live my life with him. He's loving, loyal and a wonderful father. I thank God everyday for what we've built together and look forward to many more beautiful years!

Something To Sea
This morning I drove to the steps
The beautiful steps by the sea
I listen to the waves crash
It's a wonderful song to me
The water is cold and blue
The air is crisp and bright
I love the way it feels
In the day and in the night
Sometimes I bring Gigi
Sometimes I bring Van
Sometimes it's just me
Alone in the sand
This place is Redondo Beach
A special place to me
A place I call home
A charming place by the sea

Josette's 14!
My baby is 14! Everyone says time goes by so quickly... and it's true! Josette is so many things. She's beautiful, smart, kind, fun and creative. Josette has always been our little pack leader. She's an awesome daughter and a great example to her sisters and brother. I love watching her grow and handle life's challenges with grace. She's an amazing girl and I'm so proud to say she's mine. I love you JoJo to the moon and back and back again!

Wine Tasting in Santa Ynez
We celebrated Sherry and Missy's birthdays wine tasting in Santa Ynez. We played slots at Chumash Casino and visited Sunstone, Brander and Roblar Wineries. We had the best dinner at Root 246 in Solvang, danced at Mavericks and caught up on all the happenings of our busy lives. Couldn't ask for anything more... beautiful weather, big winnings, best friends and great memories. Let's make it a tradition and do it again next year!

Quick Getaway
The girls and I drove up to Santa Ynez a few weeks ago to celebrate Heather's birthday at Chumash Casino near Santa Barbara. Sherry won big time! We had a delish dinner at The Willows and a wonderful massage the next morning. So fun... can't wait to go back for Sherry's birthday!

Miracle Hour
 |
| My brothers Joe and Paul, sisters Cathy and Ann with Grams Furnare |
Dear Diary,
Yesterday I was having a frustrating morning... trying to get the kids ready for school, eat, get dressed, back packs ready and out the door. Little Jess was pushing my limits not wanting to cooperate and fighting me every step of the way. I was so frustrated and lost my patience. By the time I dropped her off, I had apologized for losing my temper but was still ashamed of the way I behaved. I hurt her little spirit inside. I called my Grams, she's 91 and wonderful! She always makes me smile! I told her what had happened and that I said a prayer after dropping off the girls. Grams asked me if I knew about the miracle hour and said that at 3 o'clock daily to stop and say a prayer. Christ died at the 3 o'clock hour. Ask the Lord anything or give thanks while praying and spending a few quiet moments with the Lord. For at that moment mercy is opened wide for every soul. In this hour you can obtain everything for yourself and for others. Christ wants us to ask for his mercy, in fact, he delights in it! He wants us to share our intentions, our problems, our heaviness, our loved ones, our fears and our worries in his endless goodness and draw near to his loving and forgiving heart during the powerful hour that recalls his death. Along with this, he also wants us to put our trust in his love.
Let us take
advantage of his special invitation to meet him daily anytime during the 3 o'clock hour, if only for a minute to share, reflect, pray and honor our Lord Jesus Christ.

Valentine's Recap
I was lucky enough to spend Valentine's day with the loves of my life. The kids woke up to balloons and sweet treats. Jeff brought home roses for me and the girls, then we had dinner at our favorite sushi restaurant, Black Bamboo. We are very lucky to have this smart and beautiful man in our lives and I thank God everyday for his love and support!
