I'm Back....

So, I started this blog 8 years ago when I was a full time working mom and my boys were in preschool.  Then I retired from my job at the bank and became a stay at home mom which clearly took up more time, because I haven't written anything in so long.  I've had deep thoughts that I sometimes shared on Facebook, or just kept to myself, but lately I've been feeling like I should start to document my family's life in a better way.

I figure I should provide a few updates with what has happened in the last 8 years.

1.  We are not in that house that was getting remodeled anymore.  We moved 7/10 of a mile 3 years ago to our dream forever house.

2.  We got a dog.  A black lab named Maggie Mae, seen in the above picture.  She is the sweetest most rotten dog and we love her!

3.  I did fall again in December 2009 and broke my other foot and had to have surgery on it as well.  So, I now have plates and pins in both ankles.  I would like to say that I learned a lot and grew a lot during that 12 week recovery process but I don't think I did.  I just felt sorry for myself and got annoyed with my situation.

4.  We have traveled to Hawaii in 2008, Cabo San Lucas in 2009, the Gulf Coast many times, Atlanta, Nashville, Dallas, New Orleans with lots of places in between.

In addition to all of the above, we've just been busy living life.  The boys start 3rd and 5th grade in a couple of weeks.  Hopefully I can be a more consistent blogger going forward.
