She's 21!!!!

Ashley,

You're more WONDERFUl than we ever imagined. When we first held you in our arms, we wanted so much to be the perfect parents. You were already a perfect daughter...In the years since then, we've learned that nobody needs to be perfect as long as there's plenty of LOVE~~ and we have that. We've found out that our dreams for you aren't always the same as your own, but we can have trust in each other... We've watched you grow and become far more than we could ever have imagined when we first held you in our arms... and our pride in you keeps growing too.

We want you to know that you've made being a parent life's greatest reward.

We love you so much,
Mom and Dad

Oh My Gosh!

Well Valentine's Day at the Coffey house wasn't the same because Jamie and I have both been under the weather with terrible colds. But we both managed to get it together and go to the ASU basketball game.

First of all, those of you that know Jamie well,he could eat at the Chuck Box everyday of his life so yes guess where he took his sweetheart for dinner. He was nice enough to ask me where I'd like to eat before the game. I knew where he wanted to go so compromize right!

Well since we were both feeling cruddy we decided to leave the game early because Stanford was ahead 50/37 with 8 mins left in the game. Things weren't looking good for the Sun Devils. When we arrived home and turn on the TV we couldn't believe our eyes they were going into OVERTIME! Yes, those Sun Devils pulled another win!

Valentine's Day is always such a special holiday around our house.
We L.O.V.E. to spread the LOVE to all.

Go Sun Devils

Wow I hope you had the chance to watch ASU BEAT the U of A Wildcats AGAIN . What a basketball game. Way to go Devils!

Election Day!

Hi everyone,
I thought I would share with you my day voting at the polls for the primary election we just had. After leaving from getting my hair cut and colored I remembered on my way home that I hadn't voted. So off I go to the small church on Broadway to vote. After arriving I was shocked to see the parking lot FULL and the line down the street. I thought wow I'll be here forever. I was lucky and found a parking close and got in line.

Jamie and I had requested a early ballot and of course it came the day of the election in the mail. I had it in the car (long story short) I asked if I could hand it to them and they said absolutely! Off I go passed all these people in line and a part of me felt good then I felt bad for them. I was told the wait was 2 hours long. After I placed my ballot in the proper box I looked over to see the table where you had to check in with your 2 PROPER ID'S there sat 5 Little (I mean little) old ladies. I thought Ahh that's why the line isn't moving. I heard someone say they were there since 5:30 AM with no lunch or breaks. Well quess what? I asked if I could help in any way because I had a couple of hours to kill. They said are you kidding, yes we'd love to have you. Within minutes I was sitting in the middle of these sweet little ladies. Okay remember I mentioned I had just had my hair cut and colored so you can imagine what I looked like. I told my hairdresser to just blow dry my hair because I was going straight home. I arrived at 3:00 and guess what time I got home? The polls close at 7:00 but if you are in line you get to vote. The last voter came thru at 8:30 pm. Then these ladies had to break everything down. They said they had another 2 hours of work to do. I said are you kidding me! They said yes we have to count all the open ballots that were not used and break down the voting booths. I told them you start counting the ballots and I'll break these booths down and we will be out of here by 9:00. They just looked at each other and laughed! They probably were thinking ROOKIE!

Well guess what were were out of there at 9:00. They kept telling me I was an angel sent from heaven. I told them no I learned so much from them in those 6 hours and loved every minute of it until I looked in the mirror and saw my hair! I learned so much about behind the scenes when voting. Also I got to see friends, neighbors, and people I went to high school with years ago. Just wish I would have had a better hair day! Hope you voted!

PS. No for the first time I didn't have my camera in my purse!

Farewell Nathan, Jill and Jackson
