Been a while?


All I can say is WOW! It has been quiet a while since I posted anything. Shame on me! I am sitting a work wondering why I haven't blogged in a while. Alot of changes have gone on in my house these last couple of months. Mike is still out of work but he is working. He gets called to fly on different trips for different companies. He is still waiting to find out about the job he applied for and interviewed for back in April. He has flown them a few times and loves it. They are trying other people out to see who is the best fit. I sure hope its Mike! I will take anything God offers!


I have finished my classes and am now a certified phlebotomist! I have a job in phlebotomy and I really love it. We get a lot of people daily! I have even taken blood from a few friends that didn't mind at all! Can't wait to go to work in the morning. The fun starts early in the day and keeps going for the most part until I go home. I am so glad I went back to school! Who knows maybe I will even go back for some more training. (I doubt it but you never know!)


Becca has moved out and is living with her mom again. She didn't want to go to college nor go into the military so I told her she had to leave. She had told us that she wanted to go into the military and was trying hard to get into shape so she could go in. Then she hanged her mind and decided college was what she wanted to do. I was ok with that as well but then when she didn't want that anymore and I didn't see her trying to improve her life we told her she hsad to do something or she was going to have to leave. he agreed at first to sign up for a class in college. That was short lived and she decided she was going to move. She still calls and texts sometimes and she is doing well. I miss her but Mike and I felt we should let her do nothing with her life and tried to push her in the right way. Right now living with her Mom is where she should be. She knows we love her and that if she needs anything I am here for her.


Ryan is still loving his program. Although he can't wait for camp. He cracks me up when he gets all excited about camp. He has already been in the pool this year. He liked it but got out after about 30 minutes. I am sure this summer he will be in alot. It's already hot here and June has just started!


Sarah has had alot of challenges this year. She was excepted into Harmonium at school and loved the program. Although it was hard to adjust to for her she had a great time. She has tried out for Freedon high School cheering and made alternate. Not sure what that means yet so we are hoping she gets on the team. She said she didn't do very well at the tryouts so to even make alternate is great. She also tried out for the performing arts high school and didn't get in. Her besy friend did. Of course she was upset but she has had time to adjust to not geting in. I am praying she finds her nitch soon. I think growing up now is alot harder than when I was 15. Way to easy for the kids to pick on each other. They can bully each other on the computer, on the phone, and they can do it anomously. Technology isn't always better.


Noah is being brave this year. he asked us if hew could join football. I am a little nervous because all the sports he has played if he got hurt he would cry and not want to play anymore. I told him he can't do that in football. If he gets tacckled and it hurt he has to get back up and do it again. he assures me that he knows and he wants to play. I signed him up. UGH We will see what happens. Can you believe my Noah is now a 6th grader?! I have no more elementary kids just a middle schooler and a high schooler. Time is marching on! Although I still feel young.


So for now life is going foward. the pool is open, the kids are out of schhol for the summer and vacations are being planned. The kids want to do it ALL and I am hoping we can do some. lol Isn't that how it always is?!

Alot has happened in the last two months. First let me start with Sarah and her DEBUT singing. She is in a class where they learn from music and they put show on. She loves singing (I have no idea where she got that just kidding). I knew she could sing but I didn't really know she could really sing. I was sitting in the audience that first night of the show all proud but when she got up to sing the last song of the night I was BLOWN AWAY! She had me speechless. I hope she makes you speechless as well. This class is really a nice class. She has alot of friends in the class. I have been given glances into the woman Sarah is becoming and it takes my breath away. Wow is all I can say! It doesn't look like the video is going to work tonight so I will have to do it tom. after I get home from work. Wish it would save! I was going to put up one of Noah as well but I guess I will have to do it tom as well. He got to sing at Church with the Adult choir. He sang Away in a Manger verses 1 ...

How can my heart hurt anymore? What do I have to learn to stop the heart ache?

How can we say goodbye to someone that means the world to you? How do you let them go? The pain and hurt that we feel is so unreal. Grandma left this earth November 17, 2019. 9 months, and 15 days after Mom left.  Two women that helped to mold me into who I am today, left me.  They are no longer here to ask questions of, or laugh with, learn of the past from. They left. The pain of losing them will never leave me.  How could it?! They taught me to be the women I am today.  Grandma was someone who always excepted me. Always showed me how to love others. Listen to others.  Care for others.  Really, just to be there for others when I am needed.  The pain I feel is indescribable.  I have never had my heart broken like this before.  Never had to face anything so hard.  You see, I was so Blessed when it came to losing people I loved.  The first person I loved, that I remember losing, was my Grandfather, George. G randad was someone ...

Happy 4th of July!

Okay so today is the 4th of July and I was looking for a cool picture of a flag to put on my blog. I really didn't see on I liked. But I found this picture of the sky I took when we went to Maryland to visit Aunt Betty a few years ago. I think the sky may have looked like this on that morning Francis Scott Key wrote the National Anthem. Today is a great day for this country. I am very proud of the service men and women that have served our country. Willingly giving up a part of their lives for us. Sometimes giving up their lives for freedom. So Thank you one and all. Sometimes saying thank you just doesn't seem enough. Sometimes it is more than enough. So if you see someone in uniform just say thanks. You might just be surprised by the reaction of the service man/woman. I remember riding by the Armory a few years ago and their was a group of protesters on front of the armory. They were screaming at the men in uniform. I was angry and I could tell Mike was as well. He wanted to ...
