Nate has so many people that love him!

November 11, 2011 Boondockers films and with the help of KLIM and many very special individuals helped pull of an unbelievable way to honor Nate. So many people put countless hours and used their creativity and most importantly used their passion and love for Nate to pull this night off for us. Tickets sold out 230 seats available and almost 300 people came. There were people sitting on the floor and standing against the walls. This event was held in a movie theater here in town. Before boondockers played the new release of their new movie they played a beautiful tribute and video of Nate and had all of our family pictures up on the big screen. There were interviews filmed of some of Nate's friends and co-workers and they told such amazing stories about Nate. The movie was truly amazing and I am so thankful for all the hard work that was put into this event. It was EXTREMELY successful and I know Nate was there in spirit and I am sure he was touched.

Happy Birthday to my Sweet boy Joshua

Today we celebrated Joshua's 6Th Birthday. Joshua was born on Nov. 3, 2005. From day 1 he was our kind hearted soft spoken loving little boy. Nate and I love Joshua and are so happy he came to us. Joshua is a strong little boy and he is dealing with strong emotions with loosing Nate. I know he tries hard to be happy, but I can tell he is constantly thinking about his Dad. My prayers are that my kids can find happiness and can find comfort eventually. It breaks my heart to see them sad. Today was a good day and Joshua was distracted from our "normal" life. It was great to see a smile from him. Happy Birthday Joshua! Mom and daddy love you!!!

Halloween 2011

4 little blessings!

8 years down and eternity to go...

I celebrated our anniversary on October 26,2011. We have been happily married for 8 years. I took an Anniversary card and put it in Nate's mail box and spent an hour or so laying next to him. It was a very hard day. I am the luckiest girl in the world to call Nate my eternal companion.

Parker starts Wrestling

Parker has starting wrestling and he is really enjoying it! I think it will really help with all the sadness he is going through. Nate and him would wrestle every night, and Parker has expressed to me he misses wrestling. I know I can't make everything go back to normal.. but I can try to put a smile on his face. He had his first meet and he won 3rd place in his division.

Letters to Daddy & Letters to Nate

We have a mailbox set up where Nate is. I hope and pray that friends and family will put letters in there for Nate. I will periodically empty out the mail box and save those letters and put them in his hope chest. I know that my kids alone will be filling up the mailbox. I would love to see other people's letters in there and I would love to save them and put them in his memory book labeled "Letter's to Nate" His headstone is still a month away from being finished and I am looking forward to it being done. My heart is full and I want to do anything I can to make him proud. He choose me to be his wife and the mother of his children. I am so proud of Nate and all he accomplished. He is a wonderful dad and the best husband any girl could ever ask for. My goal in life is to make him proud and to raise his sweet children the way he would want me to.
