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!
