Being Honest

I know most of my posts are about Allie and our little family, but this one is just something to get things off of my mind. I have decided that throughout my life I have had many friends. I think in some cases, I think we're closer than the other person does. As I have gone through many BIG events in my life over the past few years, I am learning who my true friends are. Those people are there for everything...even the sad and bad stuff. Those people I can call when I just need to cry and make no sense at all. Those other friends, that I thought were close friends, have not been there for some of the biggest things in my life. It has bothered me for awhile, but I think at this point I am ready to move on. Why should I care and try so hard, when the other person does not? Of course, I know there are times that I haven't been the best friend either, but I hope that when the big things have happened in their lives, I have been there.

Sorry this is sort of a rant...but I just need to get it out and say it. To my dear friends, my close friends, I love you so much and truly don't know what I would do without you!

My baby is O-N-E!

January 26, 2009, Allie's BIRTHday!

Wow, I know my last post was about the previous year, but can I just say it once more...time flies! My baby girl, Allison Nicole Jenkins, turned one on January 26th! She is so big now. She is walking every where and jibber-jabbering away, with many mommas thrown in there. Sometimes she says daddy, kitty, drink, and bye bye, but only when she is in the mood. She also echoes a lot of what we say. We had her birthday party on Saturday, the 23rd, and it went great! We did a cupcake theme and I have to say it was perfect! Most of our families were able to be there and celebrate our little girl with us. On her actual birthday, she spent the day with my mom, and then after work we took her to get her pictures taken and out to eat at Red Robin, where they sang happy birthday to her and brought her a hot fudge sundae.

Her party!

One year pictures!
