ch-ch-ch-changes...

life is moving fast and changing all around us:

My newest niece was recently born. Baby Dalliah has been here for a month now and i haven't gotten over to see her yet! Hopefully soon!

My bro, jeff, and his wife, heather and all my flower nieces live over the mountain. I miss having them right here in town.

Jeff has changed jobs, but is still working in the great out-doors.

Heather's brother passed away.

Bubba went back to high school as a sophomore.

Now Taven is home schooled.

My bro-in-law finally has power of attorney for his parents.

Ron needs to admit that he needs to move into the manor for the sake of his wife!

Meridith's health is really bad. If you have time to spare to visit them, and maybe even bring a meal, that would really help. I have been too sick to help, and poor Tom has his hands full with me and the 4 kids. She needs interaction, and they both need nutritious meals.

As for my health... it is slowly getting better. Up and down, but more ups these days.

My cousin Ryan is home for good and now has custody of his son! YAY!

My baby cousin Joy is getting married to a great guy.

Still more and more divorces bombard us from surprising friends and relationships.

My best buddy, Jos, moved home... just across the street, where he belongs.

I lost 2 30-year-old friendships over stupid things... I did my best to save them, but it takes both parties to want to care and love and forgive and move on. I was initially at fault, and I fell on my face with remorse and apologies. I tried to show that I had changed, and was told not to contact them anymore. So I honor that. I grieved for a while and now hope to move on, remembering the good times...

We are painting and changing rooms. I now get the big office in the back, and Tom has his work space near the kitchen area. We are selling all our crap on ebay, so be sure to check it out. We hope to earn enough money for a new TV.

My cousin, Keemun, is an amazing house painter, inside and out. Give me a call if you need his services. He really does a great, professional job!

My other sis-in-law, Katie is also pregnant... that #4 for them and #11 for my parents as grand parents.

My buddy with cancer has just celebrated another birthday that wasn't supposed to happen! keeping the joy.

Another miracle, Baby Z, who was not supposed to survive birth, is now 4 months old. Unfortunately, she is in the hospital now with more breathing issues, but they hope to bring her back home this week.

My little cutie from high school, Chris, has grown up to be a rock star in a band... I'm hoping to be well enough to see "Cracker" rock it on stage with his band, Restruct.

We are all in denial about the number 40!

Haley is turning 9 on Easter. Her face is changing, growing mature and beautiful, and she's all legs! If my predictions are right, watch out, because here comes the world's next super model!!!

And my little bundle of cute, Ania, no longer has that baby face... she's move on to adorable big girl, with a smile that lights up any room! And she loves to learn.

My parents retired and now travel constantly! They're loving it... I just never know where they are!

We no longer have a church that meets in our home, and we've finally found
a place that we love. I honestly never thought I would ever go to a traditional church again... in a way I was right. The Dundee Covenant Church that meets at the old Clamity Janes building; a building where 10 years ago, my parents and i walked around and asked God to use this building for a new kind of church. I dare you to come see if it happened.

Tsunamis and earthquakes are shaking up our world... I'm gettin involved with g group working to stop human trafficking! Get involved in something. There is so much that needs to be done.

More and more doctor appointments!

The only cat I ever love, Sweetie, died. I miss her.

My ER buddy passed away. He wasn't supposed to live past 9, so 40 ain't too shabby! It still sucks, and I miss him.

oh, and daylight savings time...
