My life in TEXAS...
My immediate family This photo is of my brother (Richard), my sister-in-law (Jacki),  myself (Lori), my mom (Cindy), and my dad  (Ray).  My mom and dad still live in Houston, Texas.  Richard and Jacki live in Dallas, Texas.  I am very close with my family and make it a priority to get home as often as possible.  It also helps that we talk on the phone almost daily...that way I don't feel so far from home.                                                                           
My dad, my grandmother, and my aunt
 This photo is of my dad (Ray), my grandmother (Nanaw), and my aunt (Rita).  Nanaw is amazing in so many ways.  My aunt Rita and her husband, Philip, live just outside Houston.  There's the Rucksdashel clan!!

Laney playing with a big smile! Well... hello little Laney...I just love her smile and expression in this picture.  I can't wait to get back to Texas so that I can play with her and see how much she has grown.
