Hey Guys! I'm still alive and doing pretty good. I have had a busy past few months with several surgeries and medical problems. I'm no longer able to work due to my health and can't get SS Disability on my side so it's been rough. Trying to pay off medical bills and pay for my chemo has been very costly. I had cancer but thank God I won! I just opened an online boutique to try to make a living so check it out. http://lacreshasboutique.com   I will have some plus size tops next week, and I offer religious & Inspirational jewelry and other jewelry pieces. I will be working on adding to my plus size clothing and I have my bath line coming out around May or June. So check out my website! Hopefully you'll find something you like.
We have a new grandson! Hunter Ray was born March 5th. I'll post pics of him later. Jeremy will be 2 in May. I find it hard to believe! I'll have to update my photos.

Brad is coming home from Iraq soon and he's hoping to get into college. Hopefully he will get into a good school. Josh is heading to Ft. Sill to attend his AIT training and will be away 5-6 weeks.

I missed you guys! Hope all has been well with all of you :o)
Love,
LaCresha

I have been MIA and I'm sorry. I've been busy with moving and packing up the house. We are moving in 3-4 weeks and life is keeping us busy along with packing. Brad is graduating from AIT this Wednesday. He is done with his training. Now we wait to see if he will be deployed to Iraq.
Josh graduates basic training August 8th :o) He's doing good! Chad and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary on July 2nd. We had a nice day together. Here are some photos from our day.
Take care guys!

This morning we handed Josh (son #2) over to Uncle Sam :o( He will be at Ft. Jackson, SC. for 10 weeks for basic training. I'm such a wreck right now...I do have a something to look forward to though. Brad graduates next Friday!!!! We will get to see him Thursday also :o) That is keeping me going!! I will try to post here more often, sorry I've been MIA. I've been blogging at my other blog....

Come visit me there anytime :o)

I was so hoping Brad would get to call us yesterday. We've still not heard from him, tomorrow will be one week since he arrived to the base. Until he calls us and gives us his address we can't write him. We don't even know if he is out of reception or what? His basic doesn't start until he gets to his unit there. Maybe this week we'll get a call. I'm doing much better. I still tear up now and then, but I'm really doing better. I knew it would take time to get use to him being away. I'm calling my doctor today to see if we can get my surgery scheduled, and talk to her about some other issues. I have to get this surgery done so I can get healed by the time Brad graduates from Basic, should be around May. Then in August we'll travel to SC to see Josh graduate basic. Busy summer for us!!! I hope everyone has a great week. Keep those prayers and vibes coming!!

Yeah even with Chad spending the day with me I still feel icky, and sad :'o( We went to our hometown today to take Josh to the armory for his 3 day drill weekend. While there we stopped to see Kassy & Jeremy. That was nice. Then we took Josh to eat and then we drove around the town for a bit. They are doing lots of building there. They're getting a Walgreens *lol* Really moving up eh?! We went in the armory and I wasn't very pleasant I must say. They took my boys and gave me a pink t-shirt. *lol* Really, I got a pink army national guard t-shirt. I'll take a pic of it later. After that Chad & I drove home and here we are. He's napping and I'm downstairs in the living room playing on the computer while M*A*S*H is on tv. I'm going to call my dr Monday about the counseling she wants me to get before my surgery. *For my mental state* I can't afford it so I'm going to see if she will accept one of the chaplains at the hospital. Plus they would be there for me while I'm in the hospital if I needed to talk to them. I'm also going to tell her I need this surgery ASAP! The sooner I have, the sooner I heal, and the sooner I can travel to see my boys :o) Chad's worried about me. He's worried that I'm losing it and what will I do when Josh leaves in May. Fall apart all over again! I'm wondering if I lived closer to our family if I would be better about this? At least I could go see them whenever and not sit here alone. I am going to start scrapbooking again. I'm going to have Chad get my supplies dug out and print off some photos. I'm going to sort through my stuff this weekend and then Monday go to the scrapbook store and use their work room for free. That way I'm not here alone day in day out. I need to meet people and start some new routines.
Love you guys! Keep those thoughts and prayers coming!!

We just got in from taking Brad out to eat. He's not feeling well and didn't feel like doing much. After we ate we took him back to his hotel and said our good byes once again. I didn't want to let go of him! I've been crying not stop since we left. We had to stop in Wal~Mart and get a few things. I'm surprised no body was looking at me with my red swollen eyes and crying fits. Everyone keeps telling me he's just in basic training, I know this. I also know he's not in his room playing video games and hanging out here with us. He's being trained for war! I knew this day was coming but nothing can prepare you for letting go of your children. It would be different if he was moving out to go to college or to be out on his own. It's going to take some time for me to get use to him being away. Please keep him and us in your prayers! I'm also praying that I get that job caring for people in their homes. Well, I'm tired and will be off to bed shortly.

Not much going on here. It's been a nice day. The weather is really nice and my grandson has been here visiting. That alone makes any day a good day :0) I roasted a chicken today for lunch and it was the first time in a very long time that all 5 of us were at the table together. Usually It's just Chad, me, and Brad here in the evening, so we eat in front of the tv. I know it's bad to do that but once we move we'll get back to a normal routine of sitting at the table. We got a call today from the lady at the apartment complex we're wanting. She had the floor plan we want just come open today on the 2nd floor :0) Monday we will go check it out and get the ball rolling on moving in...I hope! We still need my income to move so maybe we can put some money down to hold the place until we get my checks coming in. We'll see. Our youngest son is really trying our nerves. His attitude is getting worse and is still blaming me and DH for his failing the drivers test. Excuse me? It wasn't ME behind the wheel!!! Grrrr!!!! He's also failing a class and guess what? It's not HIS fault he's failing...it's the teachers fault....????? Whatever! I'm sick of it. Didn't mean to get on a rant guys.
Hope you have a good weekend!!
