SPBGMA AWARDS

Tonight we're on the way to the SPBGMA Awards Ceremony where my husband and I have been asked to give out a couple of awards. My husband is also for a couple of awards "Male Vocalist of the Year" and "Mandolin Player of the Year". Crossing my fingers on those.  My husbands banjo player is being honored tonight with the SPBGMA Hall of Honor Award for his banjo playing. So thrilled for him and it should be a good night on Super Bowl Sunday.

Jr. Miss Bundle of Love

 

Today my girl didn't get crowned Queen, but was runner up in her 2 year old Jr. Miss Bundle of Love division at the Sweetheart Pageant.  So proud of my lil bit for doing so well.  Even though the pageant wasn't up to the standards of the few Pageants we've been to so far, especially for the money...it was nice that the judges were the 2010 Miss America and a past Miss Tennessee.  It was also odd they didn't call the children in order by the numbers they were given. This meant lil bit had to go out first even though her number was the highest in her division. So not sure on what was going on there. But still so proud of my very tired little girl this morning, since she didn't go to bed until 2:00 am this morning and woke up at 9:00. Barely made it on a rainy day. No sash this time either, but a little bear, and plastic rose replaced that I suppose. 

Miss You!

One Year ago today you were laid to rest in a cemetary a few miles from home. And you've been missed every day you've been gone. Your granddaughter still talks about you and even at only 2 years old, she says aloud when she misses you (her PaPa). I never wanted to feel the pain of losing you and dread the day Mama(MiMi) and God-forbid, my husband and myself go to be with the Lord and have to leave my little bit alone. But it is the circle of life that keeps us going. I love and miss you with all my heart.
Your daughter,
Dreama

And to my darlin' sugarbritches. If it weren't for you coming into my life when you did, I certainly would have not made it through this year...
because of you I can make it through each day, even though it's still hard. Just remember Grandpa (PaPa) loved you very much and was prouder the last year and half he was alive, than he'd ever been. It's not fair I know that you and him didn't have more time together, because it's all he wanted, but we have to remember "he is with us".

Daddy I miss you. And to my daughter - Thank You!
Mommy
