"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you write them down and keep record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences."

DISCOVERY SCIENCE CENTER!

So having a Hockey Loving Husband, we HAD to go to the Discovery Science Center when they had "The History of Hockey"...I thought I'd be bored out of my mind, but in the end I think I was more excited about everything then he was! We were like kids in a candy store! Heres some pics of how much fun we had being 10 again....

I got to hit the puck...BEARLY! LOL.

The Pro-Andrew doing some goalie action!

Andrews in Heaven!

IDK why it turned out sideways, but heres me in ALL MY GLORY!


Andrew "driving" the Zambonie...look @ that big 'ol grin!

We had a great LONG day at the Discovery Center...I stood in a hurricane room, we sat in the Earthquake "shack"...being from CA it wasn't a big deal, but it was still fun! We played with robots, spent time in the penalty box, tried to be an NHL announcer, and sat ontop of the WORLD! (ok, only I did & it was in the parking lot...LOL)

MY SISTER IS IN TOWN!!!

I am SO excited because my sister is in town. I LOVE IT when she comes to town & I get to spend time with her. This time it was really special...this past thursday we went to the Temple & did Eddie's Temple work. You could totally feel how strong the spirit was and that he was there, and he was waiting for that moment. Yes I cried...We all did. Here are a few pics of my sisters stay with us......Us @ Andrews Hockey Game... ...Andrew in Action...
I LOVED HAVING YOU IN TOWN SISTER...I'LL SEE YOU IN COLORADO!

Give Blood....PLAY HOCKEY!

So Andrews started his hockey season the other day. He's on a great team & he looks forward to it every week. This season he decided to change his number from #83 to #2...In memory of Eddie. Eddies' number was #2...It was a somber moment when I first saw it & broke down because of his tribute to my nephew. Everytime I see him in the #2 jersey I think of Eddie. Thank you for that Andrew! This season he is also the team captian. I love my Husband & I LOVE WATCHING HIM PLAY HOCKEY! He gets better every season, so we'll see what this season brings. Here are a few pictures from his latest game....ENJOY!


This is us before his game....PEP TALK!

Andrew in his #2 Uniform....bring me the tissues.


IDK why this turned sideways AGAIN, but here he is in his jersey minus the helmet & stick!


I know you can't see him because he's facing the camera & it's dark, but here he is being a CAPTIAN!


Here he is IN ACTION...he's the 2nd one from the left.

He's now playing defense & is RIGHT by the goal...They won 7-0!

WAY TO GO BABE!

Long Time, No Blog...So A LONG Blog...

So I know it's been FOREVER since I've blogged...and ALOT has happened. I've been in & out of the hospital for the past 3 months. My gulbladder is like defective or something. I've been in pain with my gulbladder & my RA. I had to stop taking ALOT of my RA meds because we're going to have a baby soon. =) Yes, I said soon. Not yet, but we'll be working on it. ;-) I also lost my JOB...not a biggie. I could really deal without the drama of watching other peoples unrully kids. SO......since then, I've been to vegas, we had our annual EME and much more....here are just a few pics of whats been going on in our lives....ENJOY!

Edward Michael Harrison

On Jan.29th, 2009 I lost my newphew Eddie to a really bad decision. I can't even begin to write about my sadness and my broken heart. Everytime I sit down & think, I think of him....and his decision. I feel so sorry for my sister Carolyn. He was her baby, her everything. So, I went to Colorado the next tuesday to be with family. His funeral was on Wedensday. It was one of the best I've ever been to. Being just 18 years old when he passed, basically his whole class was there, as was his club volleyball team and church friends....over 400 people. The spirit was so strong there, there wasn't a dry eye in sight. I knew Eddie was looking down & saying, I never knew how many people loved me. I wrote him a letter & put it in his casket. This was so hard for me and it will never get any easier...I loved Eddie so much. I had just seen him the week before doing what he loved....playing volleyball. There will never be a day I don't think about him. Here are a few pictures from the funeral and gravesite....

A picture of Eddie with his letterman jacket, his club jersey & the blanket I made him that he took EVERYWHERE.



Awards, Pictures & his jerseys.


His grave marker...I put a John Deere flag on it...like his blanket.

All of us at his grave the day after his funeral. We took & put all the flowers on his grave....Magen brought his favorite gum and we put some on the grave, & chewed some. =)

Like I told my sister Carolyn, Eddie is now with our Grandma (who LOVED Eddie & Eddie LOVED her)...I told her that he just needed a little extra time with her before we all got there. May you rest in peace Eddie, I love you & can't wait to see you again.
