It has been way too long!

I got started doing this blog thing at the beginning of the year and loved it. Not sure why, but I did. I have had a few changes as were in my last post and well I just plain forgot to take the time to write. But its back in the front of my mind and maybe I can stay on top of it. we'll see. :) So since the last post i have been adjusting well to my new postion at work and loving the change in my hours as well. Even though I work every saturday sunday monday and tuesday I do get off work at 6 each night and have 3 days a week to spend with Stephen(who is still home from work due to surgery) and my girls. Sometimes they get upset with me because I have to work I think they understand (and they have more time with friends) they don't have to worry about spending time with mom on the weekends. anyway. Stephen and I seem to be spending lots of time together since he has been home so much. Sometimes I think "goodness is he ever going back to work?" then I find myself missing him if he isn't with me all day. Guess thats just how it goes. Have spent loads of time with my good friend Sarah geocaching we have been having so much fun. if you haven't tried it yet, you should. I am sure you will enjoy it. Been taking care of the farm animals we got new pigs they are so stinking cute. cant wait til they are big and fat so we can send them to butcher. Nothing like raising your own food an knowing in your own mind that what your eating is the most healthy for you. We are gearing up for the holidays. I absolutly cannot wait for Thanksgiving. Im hoping that Dave & Nae and the girls will get to stay the night and spend time with us. Finally went out and took some family photos. we needed them, I cant even remember the last time we had photos made. I have so much I want to share with you all but for now enough with the rambling. I will find better subjects for the future.

Have a wonderful day!

18 already?

The reality of it really hasn't sank in yet I don't think, she still has one more year of school so that's probably why. My first born 18 years old. Despite all the reminders of her age from my sweet girl, it truly does seem like only yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital when all the sudden here we are just over 2 weeks past her turning eighteen, where did all those years go? I would love to be able to sit here and recount every single detail with you from the very start but that might bore you to tears and well she might kill me of I did that. Because I can remember lots of little moments that would embarrassed her to death like how she was so scared of everyone singing happy birthday on her first birthday that she hid under the table crying and didn't want to touch the cake we got her. Or of her and her bff having cupcakes in their diapers that nanny brought by after Cathy's party at school when they were only one. Or of her and t...

Midlife crisis? Nah, just having a little fun.

I guess that is what some people call it when a guy nearing (ever so close to) 40 goes out and buys himself a shiny new (or not so new) motorcycle. However that thought never really crossed my mind when Stephen asked to buy one off a guy he works with. I wasn't thrilled with the idea, not because I thought he was having a midlife crisis, but because I thought there were plenty of other things we could spend our money on. I said no. We always talk about big purchases and agree when or if we spend the money. I was sure this thought was settled and we would not be the owners of a motorcycle anytime soon. Stephen had other ideas... Stephens toy He made the decision to get the bike (it really was a good price, I guess) and well now we are that crazy old couple that rides around on a motorcycle every chance at nice weather we get. Here is a bit of history...My dad had a Honda gold wing when we were little (I was like 13) he and my mom wou...

Throwback Thursday

Let me just start by saying straight out of the gate that I absolutely hate to be on the front side of any camera much less my own. Now it isn't that I don't enjoy being in the moment, I do. I just enjoy taking the pictures instead of being in them if that makes any sense at all. With that said I'm glad I was on the front side of this camera this day. I suppose all little girls dream of growing up, getting married and having babies. I know when I was a little girl my friends and i would play house, we would more less mark of sections of the room as mine and theirs these sections would be my house or her house. we'd have baby dolls name them fun names. We had fun. I don't know that I ever really thought about actually having children when I grew up. And as I got older I remember that I didn't even want to get married when I grew up much less have any kids. But we all grow up. And that guy comes along t...
