New Year, New Me...NOPE!

Well hellooo. I know, can you believe it? I am posting on the blog.
Here we are the first day of 2019. I still can't believe how fast this past year flew by. I am learning that when you get older the years seem to fly. Never really believed it until now. My girls are adults, I've been married for nearly 25 years...it really does seem just like yesterday I was a kid living at home.

I know I've said in the past "I'm going to post blog updates more often, blah, blah, blah" but lets be real here I am a bit forgetful & I get sidetracked easily. I'm likely not going to post any more often than I already do but that's ok.

2018 was a pretty great year, busier than it seemed while I was in the thick of it. Made some new friends, lost some old ones sadly. Had a few adventures visited some countries outside the US. Heck I even started building a small business & with that business created 17 quilts in one year. (That seems like a lot) watched my girls make some good life choices for their futures, got to spend so much time with friends & family (the family that likes spending time with me anyway 😉) I don't know how 2019 is going to be able to top it but I am looking forward to it.
I hope 2019 brings you all the changes you hope for as for me I'm going to be the same person I was last year. I like her sure she made some mistakes but darn it she has a good heart and loves with all of it. (Unless you owe her or her family money then well you're probably dead to her.) None of that new year new me BS everyone loves sharing this time of year.

Holler at me sometime this year maybe we can find an adventure to share. Happy New Year!
Thanks for reading.

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...
