Boy, has this been a crazy week of weather! It all started Friday with sleet/snow. The kids got out of school, and Andrew was home from work. Saturday, it started to melt, and we ventured out into the world. Monday the kids were out of school for MLK day, then that night, it snowed AGAIN! The kids were out again, and Andrew was home again.

Since I'm here, I might as well write about Halloween, too. It's really late, and I should be sleeping, but hey-o ( Read more... )

Writing the other day seemed to help because after I wrote in this and then in my personal journal, the next day I felt much better. I felt better today, as well. More like myself. Maybe I just needed to get a bunch of negative thoughts out of my head, so I could stop thinking about them ( Read more... )

It's been awhile. Life has been so crazy lately. Next week we're moving into an apartment in Shreveport. We still haven't sold our house, but I'm sick of being apart from Andrew, and I want the kids to start school there. It's not the scenario I had hoped for our family, but I'm happy to have a plan. Not knowing is the worst. Evan and Lauren ( Read more... )

After 5 1/2 years of life in Laredo, Texas, the longest we've lived anywhere since we've been married, we're moving on. Andrew was offered the Plant Manager position in Shreveport, Louisiana, and he accepted it on Monday. We don't have details yet of when he is needed, but we're thinking in May, and then I'll stay until the house sells and the ( Read more... )
