Are You Still There?

Hello?  Is anyone out there still?  I am not surprised if you are not.  I have been terrible about posting the details of our lives on this here blog for quite some time.  Things have been crazy since.…well a long time. 

But just to touch on a few things.  We FINALLY sold our home.  We have BOUGHT a new one, and are truly counting down the days when we can sign papers, move in, and get our family back into a routine and lifestyle that we have missed for quite awhile now. 

Once the papers are signed, I will share more about things. 

C. had her 10th birthday where I took her and a friend to get manicures and then to Panda Express for dinner.  They LOVED it!

We had a surprise birthday party for M. I think it was successful. 

We had a DJ and threw her a dance party.  We had a chocolate fountain with different items to dip in it, and that went over real well with everybody. 

J. had a quiet birthday because life was too crazy for another party, so she will be having friends over when we get moved and settled.

J. also has gone from wearing glasses to sporting contacts now.  We just got used to the glasses and now we are adjusting to her without them. 

C. had her first dance competition.  She did a great job. They got Excellent.  The reason there are no videos or pictures are because I have packed pretty much everything up for now. 

I was able to go on a field trip to the YMCA with K.  We had a fun time.  They did lots of activities. This was my favorite called “Drums Alive.”  I got to do it as well, and it was great exercise.

We are wrapping up the school year, which means that we will be spending time at school year productions and recitals. 

I have started a new job that is at nights.  I do my transcribing in the mornings.  I just signed up for a class in the fall to do phlebotomy, And I am still the young women’s president. 

T. is working four 10-hour days and helping me out wherever I need it.  We are such a great team.  T. and K. just went on their very first father/son campout.  I have never seen two boys so EXCITED to do this.  They had a great time. 

There is lots more to type about, but I am tired and have a big week ahead of me, so I will have to save it for another time.
