I haven't blogged in quite awhile...just living my life and for the most part loving every day....I consider myself to be very blessed.....

I have an amazing husband who is supportive and encourages me to be the best I can be everyday.

I have two children, a son and a daugher who have presented me with 5 children and 5 grandchildren with another on the way....All great kids and successful....makes me very proud.....

I make a good living at a job that I like most days, other's not so much, but I am not complaining...it helps to pay bills and to feed my Clay obsession......

Speaking of the man himself.....I have had the joy of meeting him twice, once in Kansas where I was fortunate enough to sing on stage with him and again in Tulsa where I was a part of a meet and greet....what an amazing 35 minutes we spent with him.....he is so open and warm and makes you feel like you are the only person in the room when he speaks with you..he looks you directly in the eyes and I swear you can see into his heart.....

In these five years since that first amazing sight of him I have learned from him....and I work to follow his example....Clay has been consistent from day one, never veering from who he is and what his goals are.....

I have also learned to let all of the crap and negativity go and to just concentrate on where this ride is going to take us..He is so happy these days and I remember that smile when I start to get down. I trust him I believe in him and know he is going to be around for a long long time...I am more than contented knowing that.....

May God continue to hold him in his arms as we continue to hold him in our hearts....always and forever.....
