That's what we have now. And that's what we need to focus on I guess. They do make me smile. Shirley had a way to make everyone ... not only smile...but laugh so hard beverages would come spewing out of your mouth and nose. Often. It happened to us all of the time. And to her. I am laughing as I type this.
Anyway, here is a picture from our infamous Vegas trip for Shirley's 40th birthday. As I posted before, it was the trip of a lifetime.
Hope everyone is doing well. My daughter Kelsey turns 19 tomorrow. She is very excited and will have a pizza party on Saturday. I decided not to have the big family party at home because I don't think any of us are really ready to look around my livingroom and not see Shirley sitting there. It might just be easier at a generic pizza parlor. We will see. I know she will be there with us regardless.
Enjoy the picture and have a great day!!!
Love,
Teresa

Hey Teresa,
First of all I love that picture of all of you from your trip! I thought that was so cool with those shirts that I think you said Steve made right? Anyway I love the picture that was on them & the slogan. That sure was an unforgettable time :)
Second, I can't believe Kalsie is already turning 19! (sorry I think I spelled her name wrong :( But it sounds like you are going to have a nice party anyway :)
And from yesterday I didn't get a chance to read it till today but I think I feel the same way sometimes. I just look back at the pictures of a couple years ago when we were there and it just doesn't seem possible! :( My heart cries out and I just get so sad. But then I read your blog and read about the good memories and I think about the good memories I have too and it gets you through. :)
Well, I've rambled enough I guess lol anyway tell Kalsie happy birthday from us :)
love,
Tracy
OMG can't believe Kelsie is 19. Know you are feeling old with that one LOL I turn 26 on Wednesday March 4. not to make you feel older just joking Aunt Teresa. I love you so much and miss you like crazy and everyone else out there. I can't wait to come see everyone. The pictures you put up are great. I love seeing her smile. It will be hard when I come out to visit, Aunt Shirley no matter what was going on managed to make it down the day we came in and was there the day we left. I remember when I had come out for Crystal's graduation she made it a point to come down before I left to tell me bye and then when I was out there for Crystal's wedding she talked to me about my divorce and showed me that things would get better. I loved how she made that horrible time in my life become one easier for me to talk about. I gave her a card saying thank you and didn't mean to make her cry but she did and then I did. I hope she knew how much her talk with me meant to me, it honestly was a turning point for me. Well if she didn't then, she does now because I know she is looking down on me while I write this. I love you Aunt Shirley and miss you bunches. Aunt Teresa keep your head up and continue to talk about Aunt Shirley because no one will get tired of it and we will keep the memory of an extraordinary woman alive always. I love you and you are an inspiration to me Aunt Teresa. I don't know exactly how difficult this is for you but I could imagine. Your blog is a relief for you but also for all of us and it allows us to remember Aunt Shirley and reconnect to each other. Your blog, has been a big help to my mom. It is hard for her to be the only one not in Kansas, feels as if she is missing out, but by you allowing her in through your eyes, words, and memories she is able to get insight to her family that she is missing very much. So thank you for that and thank you for being a wonderful Aunt that I can look up to. Love you always.
