It's a Girl: A New Life, Another Chance to Begin Again!!!

IT'S A GIRL....

Aspen Bebe Danielle Towell

Born: April 23, 2005 (we're both 23rd girls), 6lbs, 12oz.

Parents: Mr. & Mrs. Mark & Candace Towell

I'm SO excited, jazzed and overjoyed for them!!!! It's AWESOME!

I heard about it last Friday, and cried when I found out, I mean, I've known Mr. Towell for almost 8 years and now he's a DAD! I called yesterday to verify his home address and got to talk to him for a few minutes, I didn't want to keep him long, but it was nice to chat a bit. He's so overjoyed and so TIRED! Yep, that's the state of ALL new parents! But they're really happy and so am I, baby Aspen is absolutely beautiful and HEALTHY! Thank GOD!

Mr. Towell emailed me LOTS of pix this morning, I couldn't believe it! I did not at all expect that, and it was SO amazing to see him, and Mrs. Towell and their daughter! What a true joy! YAY!

Anyhow, that's the best news of the weekend, today is Monday, May 2nd, one of my favorite days of the year! Three years ago today, on 5/2/02, I had my vocal chords reconstructed in Reno, Nevada. Cool isn't it! I can't believe it's been three years! Wow! I'm also three years outta HS now, time sure does FLY!

I had a rocky weekend, a bit depressed, REALLY tired and up and down. Mom and Ricky had ANOTHER falling out, hopefully, this time it'll stick and he'll REALLY be out of our lives forever! Again, I don't wish him bad or harm, I just want him out of MY and my mom's life...that's all.

Mom and I might have to possibly move back to Reno and I do NOT want to...I don't want to leave the kids and more importantly, I don't at all want to leave Hugh. Even though we have our moments, our fights and our conflicts, I cannot imagine my life without him. Of course, I'd have to do it, but still, I don't want to. I JUST get comfortable here, liking Vegas, happy again and BOOM, but then again, that's ALWAYS how life is!

Yesterday I didn't feel well at all, I was EXTREMELY, EXHAUSTED and nacious and I had trouble breathing. But, I think that was more mentally connected and due to my RAGE that I expressed on Friday night. Delayed reaction I guess...anyhow, today, I'm ALL better. I'm HAPPY, JOYFUL and looking foward to my day of shopping (grocery shopping that is) and taking care of Jessa & Nikki! :)

Just wanted to update this thing and share the AWESOME news of new Baby Aspen!

Oh, my best friend in Arkansas, Ellen, also is a grandmother now...her grandson, Jackson Tyler, was born April 14th! Babies, Babies EVERYWHERE.....

I'm SO glad Mr. Towell and Candace had a GIRL! I'm a girly girl so I just naturally root for girls to be born! GIRL POWER!!!! Women rule! LOL!

NEW LIFE, NEW BEGININGS & NEW CHALLENGES!

Life is GRAND!

Talk to y'all later,

Many Blessings,
