Guess What?!......................................

I'm getting married! Trampas proposed to me Saturday night. We aren't sure yet when we will get married, I'll keep you all posted! I just thought I would share some pics of my beautiful ring. He did so good picking it out don't ya think?!

9/11 Big Truck

Have you heard about the trucker who has painted his cab and trailer with the names of all those who lost their lives in 9/11? The trucker's name is John Holmgren from Shafer, Minn. He has been "pulled over" numerous times just so the troopers can get their picture taken with the truck.

Gracie

Gracie had her picture made at day care last week and I just wanted to share it with you! I hope you enjoy! Sorry if it's hard to see, I will try to redo it when I have more time. Have a beautiful day!

The View

These are some pictures I took yesterday in Kingston. Trampas owns an excavating company and these are pictures of the view from the development he is working on. I just wanted to share this beautiful view with you all, even though they do it no justice compared to actually being up on that hill and seeing it! It's breathtaking!

Finally...the pics Lindsey has been waiting for...

These are pics from Gracie's 3rd birthday party in June - courtesy of Jamie. Sorry for the delay in posting them! I hope you enjoy!

TONACHIO, ISABELLA LOUISA - our special gift from God returned to Heaven August 10, 2007. Born December 31, 2004 to Tara Louisa Graves Tonachio and Robert (Bobby) James Tonachio, Jr. Affectionately called "Bella" and "Izzy" by family and friends. Isabella attended Kiddie Korner Daycare in Kingston and loved her "Class" at Shiloh Baptist Church. Preceded in death by her "aunt Lu-Lu" Erica Graves Guettner. Left to cherish her memory: parents Tara and Bobby Tonachio; grandparents Wayne and Tina Graves, Bob and Mary Tonachio, Rea Tonachio; aunts and uncles Alicia (Jared) Ladd, Jennifer Tonachio, Barbara (Jonathan) Kidd; cousins Macayman Wyrick, Rylan Guettner, Kain Ladd; great grandparents Joyce Beeler, Ruth Graves, Delbert and Frances Major. Private graveside service Monday August 13, 2007 in Englewood, Tennessee. In lieu of flowers the family suggest memorial donations to the Shiloh Baptist Church Children's Ministry or St. Jude's. Kyker Funeral Home of Kingston in charge of arrangements.

Friday evening (8/10), Isabella Tonachio passed away. She was my boyfriend's God-niece. She was a very beautiful and intelligent 2 1/2 yr old little girl. This is such a tragedy and a devastating loss for many people, Trampas included. Please keep the family, friends and loved ones of this little angel in your prayers for this has been and will continue to be very, very heart-breaking for them.

*New Addition to the Family*

I know, I know - it's been forever! Sorry! Well our newest addition to the family is BO! He is Gracie's puppy that Trampas gave her for her birthday, but he didn't come to live with us until yesterday! Isn't he adorable?!

I don't really have anymore updates. Life is good, I'm very happy and very much in love!! I will try not to go as long with no new posts like I have been doing! Hope everyone is okay, take care. I love you all!

Happy Birthday Gracie!

Happy 3rd Birthday to Gracie!
Gracie's birthday was Saturday (6/23). She had a huge disney princess party at home Saturday night. We had a great turnout and she got tons of gifts! She had a wonderful day! We are truly blessed with so many wonderful people in our lives and it is just amazing! I will post some pics from her party soon!

Well this is him! This is Trampas! The love of my life! When Trampas and I started talking and dating, I decided to go into it whole-heartedly and not let what happened in the past affect how I went into new relationships! I have fallen in love with him! I never knew that I could possibly love anyone this much. It is an amazing feeling that I have never felt before. He loves me and he loves Gracie as well. She loves him the same. He is an amazing person and has a big heart! I just wanted to update you all on the love life and show you some pics. I never imagined when going thru my divorce that I would ever find someone to love this much (especially since I've only been divorced 7 months). But I have learned it doesn't matter how long you date someone, when you are in love, you are in love and you can't control how you feel and how your heart feels, it is just amazing!

Vacation 2007

Slingshot is sooooo fun!

I just wanted to share my vacation pictures with you all. We went to Panama City. It was my first time there and I loved it. As you can see it was absolutely beautiful! The weather was wonderful. I'm sure you all know Gracie in the pics and the other girl and boy are Lauren and Colton. They are my boyfriend's little brother and sister. The kids had such a wonderful time. The guy you probably don't recognize in the pics is Trampas - for those of you who haven't heard about him, he is the boyfriend! Such a wonderful guy. And as you can see above the kids talked us into the slingshot...OH MY what an adrenaline rush, but soooo much fun!!!
