I am back!

Two weeks ago I gave a talk in church about Journal keeping.  This is the second time I have given a talk about this subject.  I think just maybe I will actually apply the things that I learned this time around.  Keeping a journal...in any form is better than not keeping one at all.  I am using my blog as my journal.  There are times that it might not be as in-depth with my feelings as what I would write in an actual paper journal that I thought no one would ever see but this will do.  I will apologize now.  I am not great with grammar or spelling.  Please don't point it out.  I know it, I recognize it and if I continue to care a ton about it I will never write things down. I have gotten past it you can too.

When ever I see a blog that is not being updated.  I always wonder what happened?  Why is this person no longer writing for us see?  I love reading what other people have to say.  The last blog I posted was about Christmas of 2011.  Every time I think of writing again I can't make up my mind if I should start where I left on catch up?  That would talk forever.  Or maybe I should start from here, today?  Maybe through out things I will touch on things that have happened or memories that I have.  That seems to just be the easiest.  There were so many things that happened over the non-blogging days....Christmas', Elaine turning 11, 12 &13 (I have a teenager), moving to Omaha, NE (best city ever), Izzy turning 7,8 & 9, Alex turning 1 & 2, Evan turning 4 & 5, Drew turning 10 & 11.  Many many holidays-which were wonderful, many many visits from family heading to Wisconsin from CA, my parents getting a divorce-which is weird, happened a while ago and it is still weird.  Even as an adult weird weird weird. We loved Omaha, we had many kitchen dance parties while cooking dinner, loved the zoo and the many other things Omaha had to offer.  We made some amazing friends and can't wait to see them again. That sums up some of the past few years...the latest thing that has happened is that we have moved.  Yes again!!!  Morganton, NC.  Small town in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. The town is cute, the area is BEAUTIFUL!  People are nice, southern.  We have felt very welcomed and I am sure will grow to love it.  I don't know that we will ever love it as much as Omaha, but hopefully we will grow to love it almost as much.

Here is the most updated picture I have of our family taken on Easter Sunday.  I think we took 5 or 6 and this is the least blurry.  Everyone is standing still-always a plus.
