Just to let you know

Just in case you didn't know..........We have been in a custody battle for the past 4years with Arizona's Biological mother. Arizona was removed from her home in December of 2004 because of Domestic Violence issues and was placed with Arizona's Step Dads grandparents (figure that one out), after fighting the courts in Florida, she was placed here with us in June of 2005 and we have been fighting to keep her hear ever since. Well, as of June 25th 2008......it is over. After going to court we were ordered Full Custody of Arizona and she will be living with us from here on out. We almost lost her a couple of times back to Florida, but someone with more than two braincells figured out she belonged here. Since being here, she is straight A's and the occasional B, she is playing numerous sports, plays in the band and was inducted into The National Junior Honors Society.....a pretty big deal from what and where she came from. It is finally over and me and momma can sleep in piece knowing she won't be going back to Florida except to visit. See Ya.

P.S. After about 20 years of smoking........I have been cigarette free for just over 5 months. Wish me luck. Also, I have to give Props to my Brother and Sister-in-Law Sam and Emily. If they wouldnt have sent us a link to their site, I never would have made this one. I got some stuff from their site, then added some other stuff and here we are. Thank you Aunt Emily......You ROCK!!!

Your mom would have been so happy to know that you have full custody of Arizona. I am so glad she is with the two of you. Uncle Don is also stopping smoking. He is on the Chantrix program - been smoking since he was 12. Joey also stopped smoking this year so now there are 3 new non-smokers in the family!!! Good for you.
