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!
