True Love and Happiness...What an amazing feeling!


It has been just over two years since I made the commitment to myself to change my life. I finally decided that I could not ignore the feelings anymore and came out to my family and friends about my sexual orientation.

It was one of the hardest things I have even done. I ended an 8 year marriage, I changed jobs, I broke up my family....and the changes I made go on and on.

Who could have ever imagined that during the last 2 years I would grow so much as a person and find the true meaning of love and happiness? Hiding from who you are and who you have always wanted to be can really complicate your life and your ability to be happy and peaceful with yourself. I have found that since coming out, I have been able to cultivate relationships with people who truly love and accept me, for me. I have also found that certain people who I thought cared about me and would always be in my life have either backed away or ended their relationship with me. Why can't people just love and accept you for who you are?

I have a beautiful life. I have the love of the most amazing women, and 5 wonderful kids! What more could I have ever asked for? I wondered if I was ever going to find that special person who I had always imagined would be in my life. I found myself wishing, hoping, and imagining when and how I was going to meet her. In June 2006 she walked into my life. From the moment our eyes met I knew that she was the one for me. She was beautiful in every way. She was one of those people that you meet and you are instantly drawn in by their personality and intelligence. We began our life together that amazing day in June of 2006 and we have never looked back. I know now in my heart the true meaning of love. Until you have felt what real love feels like you will never be able to understand its power. Knowing that every day of your life you get to share it with someone who is so inspiring, and nurturing, open and honest, soft and compassionate, and still makes your heart flutter with every touch...You know you have someone special.

I am at a place in my life that I have never been. I have never been able to wake up every single day and smile about who I am, what I am and how I am. I feel so fulfilled and rewarded. I feel that no matter what challenges I face, I am a strong women. I have faced fear, rejection, and persecution and I have grown from that.

I am truly in love and truly happy.

Thank you baby...for all of your encouragement and understanding. For your patience and your love. For you I am, always and forever.

I wish you all, Peace, Love and Happiness.

Up Currant Creek Without a Paddle!


Just when you think you have things all figured out and you got this fishing thing down to a science...WOW how things can change when you add in 5 kids, a flat tire, fishing, a bear, and 2 women with PMS, the perfect recipe for the fishing trip from hell!!

And then there were zipties...

So...We have had this weekend planned for a couple on months. We had reservations in Torrey, Utah to attend the 2nd annual Red Rock Womens Festival (basically a big bull dyke lesbian concert in the mountains). We were faced with a decision once our softball team got spanked in our first tournament game last week( it is a double elimination), which resulted in us playing today at Noon. So...after hours of discussion and a few guilt trips by our teammates, we decided to stay around home for todays game. We figured that we would be able to plan something fun to do in place of the weekend in Torrey. What of course was our first thought?? Another attempt at fishing!

We headed out Friday morning about 10, back to Smith and Morehouse and arrived around noon. We cast our lines, and waited....and waited...and drank another beer....and waited...nothing! Finally after about 3 hours at the lake, Ryann was able to make the first catch! About ten minutes later...Ginny said that her pole had broken! So, we decided to pack things up and head over to Ginny's parents cabin and see if her dad could help us out with fixing her pole. We had done a small repair job at the lake, nothing a few band-aids couldn't fix!
After arriving at the cabin, we gave the poles to her dad. We explained how the zip tie that was holding Ginny's reel to her pole had broken and we needed a replacement zip tie so we could remove the band-aids and reattach the reel. He very inquisitively looked at the pole and said, "This pole is not broken, you just needed to twist this here", as he is showing Ginny the twist lock feature on the pole that hold the reel to the rod. We all busted out laughing not realizing how much we really don't know about fishing! It said right on the rod "twist-lock", but why in the hell would we read that!

Anyways, we ended up only cathing 2 fish this trip, but it as super fun!!

Fishing with a conscience - by Heavy G







So....We took the kids fishing last weekend, the FIRST time I have been fishing in YEARS... Anyway, I offered $50 to the first person to catch a fish. We went to Rockport, stayed about three hours and then decided that we were sick of snagging our lines every 2minutes and headed up to Smith and Morehouse.


After spending 20minutes talking Ellie down from freaking out about the bugs, everyone was settled in their spot so I proceeded to tell her to "cast!"I went over to my spot (10 feet from her) and cast my line. At that point Ellie said, "Mom, I think I have one." (I kid you not, less than 3 minutes after she cast).... I blew her off again and said.. "good, start reeling it in honey." My line was caught up so I was in no big hurry to help her. She said...it's a big one mom....at that point I asked Nathan to help her reel in and I continued casting my line. I sat down and then looked at what Nathan was reeling in.. LOL.. IT WAS A RAINBOW TROUT! Ellie won the $50!!!


Ellie finished reeling it in..but then we were stuck with the dilemma of ... "um...whadda we do now?" We had all the "right gear" to deal with catching fish -- but not the knowhow! So, we got Ellie's fish in the net and were deciding what to do next when all of the sudden Ryann starts saying... "I got one, I got one." I was just about to take Ellie's still picture when that happened..and in all the excitement I didn't get back to taking her still photo with her fish.


The day was hilarious, some of the significant events include: a bout with diarrhea, hook ripping flesh, falling on rocks, broken poles, bug attacks and freakouts, swearing with passion, boaters, ripped shirts, underwear, shopping for glasses, fishing gloves, chair in water, and more..much more........If the camera could have been rolling all day, I am sure we would have a winner on America's Funniest Video....



Good Times people, Good Times!

Heavy G and Rynee




I'm Ginny, some people call me G, Gmack, Gmoney, Gin Gin, Ginny Gin Gin and lately I have taken a liking to Heavy G.






Due to school and work burnout, lately I am best described in the immortal words of Rod Stewart:

Some sunny day
When the h... of times have
Gone farewell
You'll understand
Why it was so hard
To run away
To run away

She's a loser
She's a forgiver
She still finds good
When no one could
You want her
More than money
Cadillac can rust
Diamond and dust

Ah, yeah
Leave Virginia alone
Leave Virginia alone
She's not like you
And me
She's not like you
And me

Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ,...

La, la, la, leave her alone

Oh, Virginia
Oh, Virginia
Leave her alone

Peace bishes!


Yo, This is Ryann a.k.a Rynee, RyRy, Ry.





The best way to describe me can be summed up in the touching words of my idol...Hannah Montana:


Everybody makes mistakes...
Everybody has those days...
Everybody knows what what I'm talkin' 'bout
Everybody get's that way... (that's right)

Sometimes I'm in a jam
I've gotta make a plan
It might be crazy, I do it anyway
No way to know for sure
I'll figure out a cure
I'm patchin' up the holes
But then it overflows
If I'm not doin' to well
Why be so hard on my self?

Nobody's Perfect! I gotta work it!
Again and again till I get it right
Nobody's Perfect!
You live and you learn it!
And if I mess it up sometimes.
Nobody's perfect...

Sometimes I work a scheme, But then it flips on me
Dosen't turn out how I planned, Gets stuck in quicksand
No problem, can be solved,Once I get involved
I try to be delicate, Then crash right into it
But my intentions are good, Sometimes just mis-understood.

Nobody's Perfect!
I know I mix things up, But I always get it right in the end.
Next time you feel like it's just one of those days
When you just can't seem to win,
If things don't turn out the way you planned, Figure something else out Don't stay down!
Try again!


Everybody makes mistakes... Everybody has those days...
You'll live and you'll learn it!
