HELLO!!!


Here is John and Josh on thier 18th birthday!  They were so funny at thier party!  Look at these two, I can't believe they are going to go to different colleges in just a few months.  I don't think they have been seperated from each other for more than one night in thier lives!  I just hope they do ok.

Here is me and Linda in Flordia.  We had such a good time together!  She had no idea that I was coming to see her.  Her husband, my husband and I arranged it and it worked out perfectly!  It was so good to see her.  It was in the 70's while I was there which seemed like heaven since it is has only been in the teens, twentys and thirtys here!  I even took a pic of her husband mowing the lawn because I haven't seen a lawn mower in months!  I got to see her brothers and her sister.  I haven't seen her brother Danny in 12 years so it was cool to see him!  We went the beach one day while I was there and there were lots of people already out there in thier suits tanning and swimming!  I was amazed cuz I didn't think it was warm enough to go in the water but I guess it was.  It was a great trip and one that I think I am going to have to make more often.
I made a big decision right before I left to go on vacation though. I decided that I need to quit my 2nd job.  I have been there for over 2 years and I orginally started working thier so we could camp for free there.  Lately it was a huge burden to go to work there after I had finished my job at the hospital.  I never had enough time to workout or do much of anything.  So I decided to quit that job.  Thursday was my last night there.  I was very happy yesterday morning when I didn't have to get up and go to work and be able to do my laundry a little slower.  I could divide it up over a few days instead of doing it all one day.  I am sure that I am going to enjoy it alot more this week to!  I am going to be able to work out more often and have the time to do it consistently.  I am looking forward to it! Maybe even more time to journal! That will be nice!
Well I am off to the gym now.

Linda, such cute picture of your boys; I would imagine it will take some time for them to get used to living "separate" lives in college with a period of adjustment, but I'm sure they will do fine, after all, you are their mom :)

I liked the picture of you and your friend; isn't it neat to pull off surprises like that and get a wonderful vacation in a warm climate too??

wise choice to quit that second job; more time for you to do what matters to you seems like a great thing to focus on

enjoy your work out :)
