i just wanna pause for a moment and revel in the life that is mine. despite some ridiculously shitty things that have happened in the past year, my life is pretty freaking awesome. here's an update on the awesomeness of my life:
- my husband is the coolest and sexiest and i love him more everyday
- my baby is the most beautiful ever and i love him more everyday
- i (finally) have lots of colorado friends (again!) and love every one of them
- i am dedicating my life to loving all of you and because of that my life keeps getting better and better.
- colorado is a beautiful state and while i never thought i'd be back here raising a family i am finding that it is a wonderful place to be because of all the wonderful people in this state.
- i love being surrounded by those that i love in other states and countries. i've always wanted every single person i loved to be here with me but now i realize that i want them to geographically surround me. josh and i have stopped caring about money and we are going to live to love = which means travel to see all of you as much as possible.
- i feel closer to my in-laws and am so very thankful for them (guess what...i love them, too!)
- my relationship with my dad has improved ten fold. i'm so happy to have my dad back.
sounds like i'm in love with a lot of things, huh? well, it's true I am. ever since philip died i've been even more in tune with the necessity to love everybody and tell them that. so if i haven't told you that i love you...i do.
in honor of my mom (who died 1 year ago of uterine cancer) i'm going to get a tattoo. thats right folks...a tattoo. doesn't sound like sweet little alison? well think again. it's going to say "amor onmia vincit" (translation: love conquers all) and i'm gonna get it on my forearm in order to remind me that i NEED to love everyone i meet and foster the relationships i do have. my bro plans to get something similar to honor my mom too! he's an awesome guy and i think i'm in denial about him moving to l.a. in a few months.
forget all the b.s. that consumes your life and dedicate your time to what matters most...relationships. learn to love everyone!
love you.

You are such an amazing and wonderful woman, wife, mother, family memeber and friend. I hope you know how much we all love you too! And on a dumb but funny note, when I was reading how you are getting tattoo I read too fast and thought it said you are getting it on your forehead! Wow I am a weirdo!
Love you! Sarah
i love you, too, alison!
i am so inspired by your optimism and love, even after the trying events of this past year. it is always such a delight to hear from you and see the recent photos of lincoln. i am so proud of the woman and mother you have grown into and know your mom would be so overwhelmed at what a wonderful human being you have become. my love to you, josh, lincoln, cory, your in-laws....and evryone else in your life. love you all, elaine
