It seems it isn’t as easy to find time to write stuff here so I’ll just go through my brain and list a couple things that are rolling around in there. That way, you all (like anyone but Melissa and Jeff read this) will be caught up a little…
My mom and dad moved in their new house a mile away and now, instead of talking every day it is now down to every other. Worse yet, tonight is the first time I’ve been at their house since Thanksgiving but before that it was weeks. things must change.
Because our 20th high school reunion is in 2008 they notified me of this site called ning or something that gets everyone in one place to plan the reunion and reminisce of the old days. trouble is, since I moved my senior year and I hung out with one person in my grade (lori) and the rest were older I don’t remember many of the people. Of course I remember people from class but I’m still only going if Lori goes.
Our dog is wonderful to our immediate family but he is not so nice to the men that walk through the door. No, don’t get any ideas, I mean Jeff’s friend and both of our fathers. Duke growls, shows his teeth and is mean.
I went on a field trip with connor to the Baltimore aquarium. we had a blast but it just reminded me that we should be going there more. We have a yearly pass and parking is only $15 and gas is $12. that is a reasonable family date every other month.
Garrett’s field trip is tomorrow to Fountain Rock. I’m not sure what that will be about. Evan is all bent out of shape though because everyone is going somewhere and he’s “stuck at school doing boring stuff”
I’m thankful to be a stay at home mom. I hope my friend, if she wants, will be able to do it too. I remember when we were first pregnant there was no way I could stop working because Jeff’s paycheck didn’t even cover the mortgage much less pay for food, gas, electric etc. Fortunately, I married a provider who loves his family. we packed our house, sold it and moved to NH for a job promotion. Connor, our firstborn was a month old!! by the time he was 2 he had his own frequent flyer card.
our family has been content in plenty and in want. We figure it’s in the bible and we found a way to make it work. I do think being in want is good so you know where every but of money that comes in the house goes but in plenty the bonus is you can splurge for the stuffed animal your child begs you for at the aquarium.
that’s it for now.
