Family

Here is my wonderful family, the Drum's. Moriah did an AWESOME job! Everyone make sure to visit her website at http://www.cmstudiophotography.com/ . She does great work! Moriah, I hope that you don't mind me posting this picture on my blog. I wanted to share it with others. It captures 4 generations. I'm so proud to have such a wonderful family! Love you all!

Crazy as usual!

Well, it's been crazy as usual around the Cody house. I am hoping that the rest of the week will be peaceful. Everyone please say a prayer for this! I can't remember what peaceful is anymore. =)
God is so smart. He knows that I have had some really trying times in my life, but he has surrounded me with such great people that are constantly there for me when I am down and out. I am so thankful for each and every one of you. Also Ashlyn, crazy Ashlyn. She is starting to do the silliest things for attention. Last night, I felt TERRIBLE, but I was cracking up laughing at all of the little things that she was purposely doing to make me smile.

She is only 20 months old, but she is so smart. She can tell whenever I don't feel well or when I'm upset, and she will come and pat me on the back. She is the best gift that I could ever have. She makes me beam from ear to ear no matter what. It's amazing how much love you can have for your child. I never understood that kind of love until Ashlyn came along. It's just undescribable.

Winter Wonderland!

We went to our freind's Cabin in the mountains this past weekend. We had a blast. I think that Ashlyn really enjoyed the snow. She didn't want to go back inside after we played for a little while. It was a nice Winter get away. Now I'm ready for summertime.

Gray Cloud

Do I have a gray cloud hovering over me? It sure seems like it. Why can't things just go smooth for a while? I don't understand it.
I had met my great friend Kellie for lunch at Nagano's (this is one out of three of our usual lunch spots). After lunch it was back to work. I was pulling around to exit the parking lot and then BAM a truck T-bones me. I didn't even see him coming. There was an ambulance blocking my full view, so I was slowly pulling up and that's when he rammed right into me. He was driving way too fast through the parking lot and wasn't paying attention. His truck didn't have much damage. His fender was bent just a little bit. On the other hand, my car looks terrible. The whole drivers side door is crushed in. It looks like a hoopty mobile right now. =) We are hoping to get it fixed very soon. The good thing is that nobody got hurt. I was extremely sore, but other than that I'm ok. Just a little shaken up.
I just wish that the drama would stop in my life. I don't need anymore bad luck. I need the good luck to start pouring down on me! I just wanted to write about yet another bump in the road of Mindy's life. God, you really need to start fixing all of these pot-holes. =)

Here's Ashlyn. She is definitely ALL GIRL! She loves to have a bow in her hair. She enjoys playing with her princess kitchen that her Nana Joyce got her for Christmas. And she already thinks that she is a little mother. She carries her baby with her everywhere that we go. I just thought that I would share some of her "girly" moments. She's such a little princess.
