#7-Awards

First off all I want you all to note the new picture on the side of my blog. It is the last picture I have of Shawn. It was taken on Media Day at YSU just 6 days before he died. This is also the picture that YSU has on their football page. For those of you who think Shawn looks like a bad ass here is why. He hated to have his picture taken, he hated it even more when it was to be used to go out in the media guide for the team. If you look at the pictures of the coach's very few of them ever smile. Shawn did smile, just not for the camera, he smiled for me when I wanted or needed a good picture of us. I still wanted to put this picture on the side of by blog as a tribute to him. I have decided to KEEP the name of my blog, this will still be a blog where I talk about my life, and the life the two of us had together and plus there is Bo. Over the next few weeks I will probably be changing the header and profile on my blog, but I will always keep this picture on it. Now I can see him everyday!

On a lighter note when I started this blog earlier this spring I had no idea that this many people would be reading about my life on my blog. I most definitely didn't think that I would ever be given one blog award let alone two of them. Well, to my surprise over the last few weeks I have been given 2 blog awards. Oh my!! I want to thank EVERYONE who reads my blog. It means a great deal to me to be able to share my life with so many people. I never would have dreamed in a million years I would meet so many great people in the blogger world who would help me through the most difficult time in my life. I must say I LOVE blogging and I love reading your blogs as well! I also feel that over the last 12 weeks being able to blog has helped me with many of the emotions I have been feeling. I'm sorry I'm addressing both of these blogs in the same post, but I just now figured out how to add them to my sidebar and also just figured out how to link things between blogs. (Shawn used to help me with all the techy stuff of blogging)
