Curtains

Cohen survived his first home fix it up project and hung our living room curtains. He now must conquer the other side of the room and our bedroom. I am such a proud wife. We got our curtains courtesy overstock.com and the rest of the accessories at B B & B.

PS how about that poor skater that lost his gold medal due to bad coaching....

Cohen's Feb 18th

Without realizing it Cohen wrote this at the same time I posted below.

IT'S BEEN ONE YEAR! Today in my one year anniversary of my surgery. I look back to where I was 10 years ago, to one year ago, then to now, and I can't help but to thank God, my family, and friends for the support I have received. I can't begin to tell you how deap my level of pain, discouragement and hoplessness was as... I battled with Crohn's Disease.

I hope I have returned the favor and been an inspiration and helped you over come the challenges life has thrown to you. February 18th is a special day for me for two reason. Aimee my beautiful wife accepted my marriage proposal 9 years ago, and the I was freed from my illness of 10 years. Life awaits!

Joy and Grief

I am simply moved to tears as I write this. This day for a long time has fostered a lot of fear, anxiety, life, death and love.

When I was 29 on this day my husband had the courage to change our lives with a medical procedure.

When I was 22 on this day Cohen asked me marry him.

When I was 14 on this day my best friend died.

She was a young girl who was loved by her family. her friends, teachers and all those who were blessed to get to know her. I miss her beautiful blue eyes, her voice, her way of making me smile. I miss all the things we weren't able to do and see together. I miss the woman she would have become. I miss the child she was.

Amanda I miss you.

God has blessed me in so many ways. There have been days of darkness. Days where the only comfort found was crying myself to sleep. But through the darkness God has never left me alone, even when I screamed at him to and turned my back to him. And for that I am truly grateful. He has blessed me with a husband who cherishes me and will be with me for all eternity.

Utah in early January

With all craziness of the house buying experience I never took time to put up some pictures from our visit to Utah. We drove out (the first time in 7 years) instead of flying. We had a blast on our road trip. Its so nice that Cohen is healthy enough to take these kind of trips again.

Enjoy checking out some of the highlights.

Wendover!

The Beckers make the best Hawaiian food. Someday maybe they will open back up the Bamboo Hut.
