First off, I got two emails last night indicating I had received donations from friends for my relay for life team. Thank you so much Jen Kmeciak and the Tanner's. It means so much and my team further in reaching our goal b/c of your generous donation. Thanks for making a difference!
Secondly, I'd like to thank everyone who has helped on my house. Well "help" isnt even the word. Given their time, put in great effort, and went out of their way to help Kenz and I have a better home. Here it goes, hopefully I don't leave anyone out...
Carl, Denise, & CJ Steinhauser, Thanks so much for your continued visits, advice, support and work on the house. It means a lot and I truly appreciate your time and efforts to make my home better.
Charlie, Thanks for your time and work on the heating and air conditioning. Your advise, time and work means a lot.
Chris and Mandy Dudley, Thank you so much for helping me move and so much more. Chris, the floors look absolutely amazing. I think you will have future clients calling soon. Thanks for your time. I know you two don't have much of it. I appreciate you spending your extra time helping me. Mandy, your friendship (since pre-school) is so special to me I love you, Chris, and those kids (like they were mine). BFF, 4-ever!! And who needs men with the two of us? We carried that furniture like a champ (even though I broke one important thing. Mom and Dad's AC was locked on 60. Sorry Mom and Dad, Mandy did it. ha ha j/k) lol
Ryan Jones and Chris Berry, Thanks for giving up your time to help me. Your expertise has helped so much. Thanks for your hard work and time. It means so much!!
Coop and Joey, You have done SO much and given up a lot of week nights and weekends. Who can say they have a "custom" heating and air system? No one!!! Kenzie also appreciates you putting together her bed. Thanks so much for all you've done. You guys are good friends.
Laurie and Kenny, thank you SO much for you support. Thanks for sending Luke Krikstan over to rid me of my bug infestation and your willingness to help me in any other way I may need. It means so much. I am so blessed to be apart of your life. Also, the two of you (along with my parents) get the best grandparent ever award. Makenzie has so much support. Her life is going to be for the better b/c your example and love.
Greg and Becky, thanks for everything. Your support and help makes things so much easier for me. It is so comforting to know I have the two of you behind me and helping with anything I may need.
Granny and Grandpa, Thank you so much for building me a closet, bath room and putting in my new doors. I have to say those are three BIG accomplishments in my house and I can look at them everyday and think of you. You have made life so special for me. I can't imagine life w/o the two of you. I am so proud to be your granddaugther. You are so special to me words could never express my gratitude for all you have done. I feel so blessed God chose me to be your granddaughter. How did I get so lucky?
I love you, your FAVORITE granddaughter. : )
Mom and Dad, I don't even know where to start. Again, how did I get so lucky? Because of the two of you, I will never have to "go through it" alone. Your advice, help, support, and unconditional love is amazing. I feel like the luckiest girl to have the two of you as parents. You have been an amazing example and I only hope I can live up to your example of parenting. Your hard work and advice has made my home so lovely. I am so proud to be a home owner and w/o the two of you that wouldn't be possible. Thank you so much for all that you have done. I greatly appreciate it. As I said, God has been so good to me and the two of you is a perfect example of that.
Love, your FAVORITE daughter.
Steven, my BFF, my partner in crime. ha ha Thanks so much for taking time out of your days to go over and do the "dirty jobs" and much, much more. Your an awesome bro. It's just me and you and I wouldn't have it any other way. : ) I am so thankful we have the relationship we do. You mean a lot to me and I will always have your back. NOBODY MESSES WITH MY LITTLE BROTHER! I will always be here for you... to sneak out of bed in the middle of the night b/c you want your pacifier, pull the stool out of the bathroom so I could reach and grab that pacifier to give to you. Mom put it high up on your dresser, in a jar so you could see it but couldn't have it. LOL I'll never forget that. Nobody will ever upset you if I can help it. ha ha Also, thanks for teaching me how to defend myself. If you hadn't beaten me up all those times, I might not have a chance in heck at defending myself. LOL In return you will always watch out for flying apples! ha ha ; )
I am so proud of you! Keep working hard. You're almost there (future Dr. Reitz)!!! Your the best little bro a girl could have!
Love, your FAVORITE sister
Kenz, you make life special for me. There was always a missing piece in my life until the day I gave birth to you. You constantly amaze me; you are so smart and so precious. You make my life worth living and you give me a purpose to reach higher in every aspect. I will do whatever I have to to make your life the best life! I am so glad I was hand picked by God to be your Mommy. Aren't I lucky??? I can't wait to watch you grow into a lovely lady in our new home. You make it so much more special for me. Words could never express how much I love you!!! Thanks for helping Mommy put the medicine cabinet together. Every morning while I am getting ready, it makes me smile!
Love your FAVORITE Mommy.
