Hi my friends. It's been quite a year. After the crazy life of last year we decided to rent this house for another year and stay at our jobs. I could not handle another move, search for a new job and upset this calmer life yet. Never heard from my brother and did send his daughters birthday and I found out the youngest made communion small gifts. Nothing was cashed so I get the hint. My son is finally adjusted to the move and we are planning to go to Calif. in Feb to see my cousin (been 28 years) and help in his goal to hit every nascar race and see the race there. Fla. this year and Calif next. I always loved to travel and doing it. I had a great summer with the pre-k camps though not all ran and some only ran with 5 kids. The economy is hurting and everybody is cutting out extras. In 2 weeks I go back to teaching the pre k and the aftercare. I started doing my scrapbooking and have finished 2 books and a photo frame from Daytona for Dan. The house is pretty clean most of the time and.....I lost 40lbs and walk on the treadmill everyday. I still have a long way to go but it's going to take time. Took me years to put it on. Next Sat is the 10th anniv of my husbands death. I went though the grieving process this past year for him and my mom. I had some dark moments and lots of tears but there is light. I am now finding who I am and it's an ongoing adventure. Well I just wanted to say hi and let you guys know I am thinking of you and praying for you on your journeys. Love you all.
