It has been far too long since I blogged, it really is my diary to myself. This has been a great year and a sad year, the beginning started out losing a dear friend and just a week ago lost another dear friend. Makes you realize how short life is, how we don't know how long we have before we go to be with God. I just wish they would find a cure for cancer....
Life has been crazy busy this year, it seems more so than past years. Vanessa turned 3 in October and Hayden turns 6 in March. Amazing how fast they grow and yet it happens quicker than we want but it is exciting at the same time. Watching them discover themselves, what they like, who they are, what makes them laugh, what makes them mad...it is such a joy for me to share with them.
My life seems to be changing also, well...not my life persay but...me...smiling. I'm growing in certain ways, more confident, not so afraid, challenging myself and re-discovering old talents and finding new ones. I'm making so many things by hand now and getting many compliments. I also have taken a new liking to canning and preserving, growing all my vegetables, getting all my fruit from farms...I make delicious blueberry sweet cherry jam and yummy peach jam. My husband and I are always making new recipes and trying things we see on the food network.
Facebook has aloud me to reconnect with old friends and for friends to find me, it is so exciting. I have 300 true friends on there. I can't wait for spring I have two classmates coming to stay and visit, whom I have been dying to get in touch with...I will not let them slip away again....
I'm still working on my children's book, I need to find an illustrator now. I would do it myself but just do not have the kind of time it would require for me to put everything into it. I want it to be a joint effort also. Maybe get someone new and exciting some recognition. Oprah ends her show in 2010, I have to hurry if I want to be on!!;)
Well, it is late and I should go for now but will try to write at least once a week from now on...just put what I am up to and jot down some thoughts. Looking forward to tomorrow and spending some quality time with my children, just playing and having fun....that is the BEST!

It's been awhile but I'm still here
Let's see, it is February 2009 and life has zipped past these last few months. It started in October basically with my daughter's 2nd birthday. Then holidays, traveling, packing, another holiday, moving, birthdays and unpacking....WOW! Crazy I know but we are in our new home and it is beautiful and huge and I call it my grown up home...hahaha. This is our third house and each one gets bigger but this hopefully is the ONE. The one that the kids grow up in and move out of.
I decided to stop selling Tastefully Simple and also next year I will NOT be on the steering committee at MOPS. I have so much going on with the kids and Hayden is doing more activities now. I need to still go to MOPS but just as a mom and sit back, relax and enjoy myself. As far as TS, I don't have the time for it anymore. But, I am thankful I did it, it got me out meeting new people when we were new in town 5 years ago. I have made many new friends and it was fun while I did it.
Brian is so busy with work and in this crazy time of ups and downs with the market, he is doing just fine. But, he works hard and earns everything he does and gets. We are going to Hawaii again in July. I am so excited I could scream. This time it is a different island and it should be another adventure. Hawaii is so breathtaking and I could very easily live there.
Vanessa is getting so big and she is just so precious. She really is a love bug like her brother and they love each other like I have never seen siblings love one another. He protects her and acts like her dad and she giggles at him and kisses and hugs him. He is her idol and she is his...well...baby sister! It really is such a special bond they have, I love watching them.
Not too much more going on. I'm ready for spring. I want to ride my new bike and sit on my HUGE front porch. I just can't wait for warm weather. There are so many friends coming to visit this summer too so I am super excited. We are throwing a house warming party in spring also. That should be a lot of fun!
I'll write soon again. Goodnight!
