"The road to success is traveled by those who believe in themselves"

I found this card on Ono's desk, while cleaning and trying to find reciepts for our taxes. It was signed by some of the people from Green River and was given to him before he left. It's been going good since October and so far so good. We still have our long nights but is so well worth it. I'm a worry wart...I always want to know what about this and alot of what if's?? Ono always laughs and makes me realize that there will always be storms in life, and thats the only way we can grow.

I think that quote on the card is so true. You definently have to have guts to do this. Talking with Ono we both new it was going to happen but I didn't know it was going to be this quick. I was thinking in a few years he would brake off on his own and get things rolling, little did I know things were already rolling. He's grown alot in his occupation and moved up the ladder. He probably knows every answer that has to deal with REO and made eternal friends in the process. He was at Fairbanks, made the move to Florida for ABN and back home to Green River all have which opened doors for him to grow and do this. I'm thankful for lifes lessons. You really have to live in gratitude each day to make it in this world. Ono is a believer!! He is so optomistic...He is definently the hardest worker I know next to my dad. He works in the office and with his hands. He has given me everything you can think of and more. Let me tell ya'!! Valentines this year he called and said he made plans for us. I said don't because we spent alot of money with mom's birthday and with Eric back from his mission but he's like we are fine, don't worry. He calls and says be ready. We go to the dance and then headed back home to change. We packed our suite case and headed out the door. I open the door to get in the truck and there is black box on my seat...what is it??? Hmmmm lol ... He just sits there and smiles and tells me to open it. I open it and its a diamond bracelet. I don't know when he got it, as busy as he is and on top of that we are togther all the time...ahhhh... He knows I'm not even into flashy things and knows that this will probably go in my drawer of jewlrey that he has given me every valentines, birthday, anniversary, holiday...you name it, I've got it...LOL...we went to P.F Changs for dinner and then to the Grand America, ya your telling me...I just don't know what I did to deserve this guy. I am as plane jane as they come. But, still he sweeps me off my feet!!! When you think it can't get any better than this it does...:D
