Having fun with my sister.

Man of the Hour

I am intrigued by people.

In my life there have been many people I have found inspiring.

One of the people I find so dazzling is my very own Joshie.

Joshua Mompean is one of my brothers,

(I have two more plus a sister whom are also just as awesome!)

He is Mr. Hawk the superhero!

He is also in the middle of the biggest fight of his life.

We have Cystic Fibrosis.

His is way worse...dad says I always skated through it...

He has been through more then I can ever put onto a page.

Joshua Mompean, my Joshie, is a fighter!

Along with being a brother, he's also a husband, a son, a grandson, a talker (its the Mompean curse lol), caring, a family, loving, a pain in the ass, what!...yes sometimes all there is...is what!, giving, a man of the lord, sarcastic, a teacher, a forever student, LOUD, a friend, a hero and many others.

As a side note, I really wanted to put awesome, amazing and super good in front of some of those but..I thought that is would be a little much!

He is a fellow I have looked up to.

I love my brother.

I love my siblings.

They are wonderful, we love each othere very much and life wouldn't

have been so wonderful without them.

My brother and I are very much a like and very different.
We have a special bond and he will always have a speacial place in my heart.
No matter where he might be.

My only sadness is that I cannot be with him at this time,

as much as my heart desires, when in his life he needs suport from his famliy and friends.

Brilliant Sky

This holiday was a new one for me.

For the first time I spent it with a new family.

This year my husband and I spent our, first married, Christmas and New Years

with his side of the family.

(also the first Christmas I did send with mine.)

It was..I would say everything ha ha.

Crazy,very new, fun, crappy, exciting, frustrating, funny as hell, worried, and filled with music!

Brian (my wonderful husband), his brother and the cousins watched the Hangover...

They learned all the words to the Dug song and would not stop singing it all week!!!

And I mean the HOLE week and half we were there!

Hell I could not get the song out of my head the fist two days we were home.

The trip was good one.

Visiting with family who are awesome and now I! get to call my own!

So exciting!!

One of my favorite moments was when Brain and I were on the plane.

We had to book one of the super, balls early fights and as much and that sucked (for me) we were able to see the sunrise.

And for a girl who can be sentimental it was amazing.

Every time I see who wonderful the sky can be, I always think of my grandparents.

My grandpa dead when my papa was a kid so I have never met him.

But I have heard all about him my hole life.

And one thing I have heard for my grandma countless times is that he told her that the clouds and the sky are gods paintings.

Seeing sunsets and sunrises are extra special for me because of my family.

So the morning my new husband and I were on our way spend our first holiday away for my side of family was hard for me, but seeing the sky that morning made...my worry and sadness disappear.

Looking out the tiny window to see the bright pink sky made me happy.

It almost looking like the sky was burning pink it was so brilliant.

Thinking of grandparents and my new family made me excited for the coming holidays.

And tiered as hell because Brian and I hadn't slept.

After watching the sunrise we fell asleep on each other,

it was one of those rear romantic moments.

Only to be awoken by someone on the speak whom had set the volume to the loudest possible!

And my rear romantic moment was ruined!

Scared the crap out of us.
