Christal's Blog
So toward the end of the night....



some of the guys - Nelson, Pat, Sam, Brad, Allen, George.
The feast!

Justin's girlfriend Jansen.
Sam - soon to be Dad!

Enjoying some music from Chris.
Jen and the big blue cup I never saw leave her hand :)
Michelle and Joy - came up from Little Rock with their hubbies - Kyle and Chris.
Pat has been around to help us out, hang out and eat out with us ever since they moved to Springdale - we'll miss him and Liz heaps when we move to Harrison. love you guys.
Kate and Nelson our great friends - cruised up from LR in the corvette of the week :) "Its just a red car" says Kate - while every guy drooled. George and Jen - not sure if I can say how grateful we are to have these two great people around.

Well since this is my blog - and its usually kind of a diary - I figured I try to keep it like that -
I've been a bit of a mess lately - trying to figure out my place in the life of my family, my kids and support Brad as best I can, which at times I fail in. Some days I pretend that my husband is not slowly dying, some days I face it head on, and other days I fall apart secretly sobbing in the shower, or yell at someone or throw something at the wall and just scream. Most of the time I just look at our kids and Brad and just smile, for I am so very grateful for this life I have and enjoy life so very much. The 2010 Crawdad boil reminds me that friends make moments of life entertaining and amusing, and I'm thankful that all of Brad's friends wives/partners/girlfriends welcomed me after all those years away.
