Baby girl resting, she sleeps alot these days. She has has a hard year and a half. She lost her best friend (Donnie) and came to live with me. She was use to having her companion around the clock, the only time she wasnt with Donnie was when he had dr appts and if Donnie had his way she would have went with him to those as well. She now has glaucoma of her left eye and was recently diagnosed with cancer according to her labwork. She cannot see or hear well but is still able to find her food/water and loves to be with Jacob or myself. We promised Donnie to give her a good life,This was his last request to me as he began his journey. We all miss Donnie very much and will continue to honor is request to take care of Baby girl. She will one day take her journey to be reunited with Donnie. I know Donnie wanted to stay with us but was in great peace when he announced that he was "going home" Baby girl had the honor of seeing him through to the end along with Mom,Jimmy,Shannon, Christie,Benny,Tommy,Erica and myself.

Hang on tight Jacob, it will be over before you know it"

Pumping gas for the first time....And that was obvious because NaNA and I looked up and she had $12 in the tank and at least $3 on the ground!!!!! She said "Well it was clicking at me so I kept clicking back" Oh Boy I'm very worried about her and her gas saturated pant leg..WOW

"Hurry with the pictures Mom..I am so going out tonight and show of my car to all my friends"

Britt sitting in her car very excited!!! Britt has worked very hard to achieve this goal. She worked long hours and saved her money. She never let not having a car stop her from working, she paid hundreds of dollars in cab fees to get back and forth and stayed focus on her goal. I'm so proud of her, She plans to start school now that she has her car!!!! She got a 30 min lecture today about the do's and dont's..more don't than do's I might add.. She listened and promised to follow the rules and laws....NaNA made it clear that driving is a privilege and demanded her seat belt on at all times!!!

NaNA told Britt that she would find her a honda civic and that she did!!!!! Mom was just as happy to see her in her honda as Britt was to have it. What a big day!!!!!!!

The 6 hour adventure....and finally at 7:00 and 27 degrees.Britt had her first car.

Britt got her first car today. A Honda Civic. Brittany was so excited, she smiled throughout the entire process. She kept saying"I always dreamed of having a Honda Civic" She was truly happy and NaNa and I were very happy for her!!

"Things are going to change around here, Im 18 in 3 weeks...better get Jacob and Casondra trained" Hes a good kid, hate to see him grow up.
