So... April 6th came and went.  It was hard, I kept myself busy.  I actually think her birthday was harder than the 6th.  Maybe because it was only 2 weeks before?  I dunno.  *sigh*  I miss her so much though.  I wish she were here to spend time with us and her grandbabies.  They are all getting so big.

So, I mentioned that I kept myself busy last week, keeping myself distracted.  Well...  I was doing some searching online trying to find some old friends of mine.  I have a place on myspace http://www.myspace.com/springdayzee so I just started there and typing in names into the search.  Turns out one of my really good friends from high school is there and is pretty active on the website.  So I emailed Chris and he emails me back!  I couldn't believe I found him and that it was that easy!  He had the scoop on ALL my old buddies and was able to update me on how and what they are doing!  I took such a different path than they did since I got pg young, but that is ok!  I so wouldn't be here in the life I LOVE today if things didn't happen the way they did.  Goes to show that while I do have some regrets in my life I wouldn't change them for the world!!  So, I HAD to ask Chris about my old best friend Ava.  We hung out SO much and she was my best friend.  We would have talks about when we get married we would be in each others weddings and such.  Well... I was getting married.  She was going to be my maid of honor.  I knew she couldn't afford much and we were even offering to buy her dress.  Anyways...  I just kept calling and calling her trying to get together to work out details and she just wouldn't take or return my calls.  I was so disappointed and I had to move on with my wedding plans.  I think I heard from her one more time after I got married, or maybe it was before.  Then that was it.    I was upset that we lost touch.  Then talking with Chris I find out that she is in Iowa and she has gotten married!!!  I am so happy for her and SO happy to hear that she is doing well!  I really expected the worse.  Chris unfortunately lost contact with her a few months ago, but another one of our friends has her dad's address in Iowa so I am hoping to get that so I can try and get in touch with her through him.

I also found an OLD family friend.  My dad was out here getting his taxes done by his tax guy and he wanted me to see if I could find my old baby sitter.  When we moved to AZ my parents got a semi live in baby sitter for us.  She became a really good friend and my parent basically adopted her since her parent kicked her out of the house on more than one occasion.  My parents ment the world to her.  She got married and pg young and moved away.  We would hear from her every now and then and the last time I remember seeing her is when she had left her husband and came to visit us with her 3 baby girls.  WELL... so I started my search on myspace... we knew that she had gotten remarried but didn't know the new husbands last name.  Dad remembered the ex-husbands name and I happened to remember one of the daughters names.  So... we put those two names together and I found one of her daughters!!!  That led me to find the other two daughters and her MOM!  We were SO excited.  Dad so didn't think it was her and didn't think it could be that easy at all!  Consider that for YEARS mom and dad tried to find her with no luck and many dead ends!  So I email her just asking her if she happen to babysit for my family and she emails me back and it IS her!    She was SOOO happy she was in tears!  She had been wanted to find us again forever!  Dad and I actually went over to see her the same day I got her email back!  It was so much fun and it was so neat that ALL her family know about us and all the stories!  It just has been crazy lately with all I have been able to contact!  I feel like I have just found an extented family!!

Well... I think I will end it here.  I don't want to get too long.  I promise I will try and write more in a few days!
