So, I'm gonna explode with excitement. First of all, I'm having a baby! Now, my beloved fans know that I have two stepdaughters from my husbands first marriage. They are beautiful and wonderful. I have known them since the youngest was about 6 1/2 years old. Of course, they lived with their mom most of that time, who has been quite consistently awful to us, doing what she could to sabatoge our relationship with the girls. Nevertheless, they are great girls and although I didn't get to raise them, we love them so much! Then, four and a half years ago, we adopted Cheyenne from birth. She'll be five in June. What a blessing that has been. To get to raise a child from birth and have all the joy ( and final say) on how we raise her. It's been so wonderful. The is the most incredible things that's ever happened to me and she makes me happy endlessly. She loves her sissies so much, but of course, by now, they are in college, as independant as ever. Then, three years ago, we became the permanent legal guardians of a young man who was 14 at the time. He is now 17 years old. A handsome and sweet young man that we love very much. His name is John and you will start to see more pictures of him in my photo gallery.
Well, anyway, George and I have been married for 13 years and have always wanted to have our own children but it hasn't been in the cards for us. We have tried naturally and multiple tries with specialists, with no success. Finally, we had a beautiful woman named Angie,and her loving Husband Jerry agree to make our dreams come true. Angie is carrying a little baby girl, our biological child, in her belly as we speak. We're about four months out. We'll expect the baby in October. I'm excited beyond belief. Some people think I was put on this earth to grow the sport of billiards and be a world Champion. I know I was put on this earth to be a mom. And I thank God for it. Nothing, absolutely nothing, gives me great joy. I'm just fortunate that I married a man that is compassionate, supportive and a really good father. I love my husband so much and I hope I honor my husband always because he deserves all my respect and love.
I want to tell you more about Angie and the baby in my next post because this will get too long and I have more to share with you (like what the baby's name is gonna be! Cheyenne named her!)
The other news is that I am playing more pool now that I have in years. My body is always sore but it's holding up to longer hours than I have been able to in the past. I'm more fit, working out more, practicing more.
I'm going to these tournaments with more confidence and preparation. I have also been working on my break and think I have found a good solution. Keep your eyes open to seeing me on ESPN this year because I'll be there! I love it!
I think the biggest thing I have to work on this year is my consistency and control on the break, and most importantly, my stroke and preshot routine. I know what I need to work on, I just need to do it. I'm very excited about all this because it's what I love to do.
Right now, I can only say, Thank you. Thanks to all my fans out there that ALWAYS support me and give me encouragement. I really need it at times. And I know you are there. I love you. Jeanette
