Sentimental Journey

It seems like lately I've been very nostalgic. I found a disk that was from my old computer before it died. I decided to see what was on it. It was full of pics and I took a walk down memory lane. It was such a good trip! Last night I was working and wanted to be done. My job is an easy one- Customer service, but there are some days, ok really, most days- I hate talking to irate, over reacting customers. I was trying to get VTO, (voluntary time off) something that is my guilty pleasure and I have a love/hate relationship with. Love it when I get it, Hate it on paydays! I digress-anyways- I was trying to get VTO and I heard Carley and my Dad laughing. Although I couldn't hear what he was saying to her it made her laugh, the kind of laugh that comes from deep within her belly. My favorite sound in the world. I wanted to know what was so funny- So I kept REALLY trying for VTO. I finally got it, and went to see what was so funny. They were at the table eating dinner. He was telling her stories from when he was little. The saying "Family- isn't it about time?" popped into my head. I am so grateful for my family. I really don't know how I could survive without them. I never thought as I was growing up that I would be in the place I am today. Who really thinks that they will be a divorced, single, mom, struggling to survive. I only know that I am who I am today because of my family.


My Dad-
He is my hero. He can be gruff, rough, angry, upset, compassionate, soft, gentle, understanding and loving. He is the worlds GREATEST grandpa. Just ask anyone of his grand kids. He is the babysitter for all the kids and they all love to be with grandpa. The best part about my dad is he "gets" me. My dad and I have a special bond. I go to him with any problems or concerns or when something good happens. I am very lucky to have him and I am proud to call him my Dad.
My Mom-
She is a very giving person. She is an amazing grandma. She tries to never miss an event that any of her kids and grand kids are in and because of that she is always on the go. She loves her church and will let you know her testimony of it. She is a talker and will make friends with whoever is around. She loves to dance and will dance for anyone around!! She is very charitable, trusting, loving, and kind. She is passionate about festival of trees. She loves to travel. I am proud to call her my Mom.

My brothers and Sisters Ive talked about before and I think they are all amazing!! I'm am great full I have them in my life. I am proud to be a Bahr! This post is getting long- Here are some pics I found on that disc! Time marches on- whether we like it or not!
