Oh. My. Goodness. I have a blog! It's been since August since I've blogged! I'd like to say it's because I've been sitting around eating bon bons and watching Oprah, but that's about the last thing I've actually been doing. So, let's try to give you a run down on what's been happening in our lives since August:
* The boys have been enjoying school. Aiden is in 2nd grade and Logan is in his second year of preschool. It's so fun to see what they've learned.
* I've been working on my Master's degree. What was I thinking!? I am doing it all online, which helps, but whoa! I'll be done December of 2011, so let the countdown begin. Oh, and did I mention I currently have a 4.0. If you knew me my first go around in college, this would seem like a fluke!
* We've made a few extra trips to Missouri to visit my Great Granny as she was not doing well. She went to be with the Lord and Grandpa on October 31st. It was more of a celebration as she had turned 90 a few days prior and was ready. My children were blessed to be 5th generation babies and know their Great Great Grandma. What a blessing!
* Logan turned 5 (gulp). I cannot believe it. He's learning to ride a bike sans training wheels. I'm a nervous wreck.
* Gavin (nephew) turned 3. So weird! Where has the time gone?
* My sister Jamie (Gavin's mom) learned she is pregnant with twins! WOOT! They should make an appearance in April sometime. I am so excited!
* I'm in the ending month(s) of the United Way Campaign that I am chairing. WHOA x's 2! I had no clue what I was in for. I have learned a lot, but mostly how much I love our community. Times are hard right now, not going to lie, but people are still open to hearing what UW can do and I hope they are willing to open their pocket books as well. Wanna give?? Let me know and I'll get you the info!
* I have just been voted in as a library board member of our local library. I am excited to serve in this manner for our little town. I cannot wait to meet new people and gain more board experience.
Goodness, I know there is more, but I am drawing a blank. Maybe because I am staring at a counter full of Christmas decorations that need to either be placed neatly around the house or packed back up. I am working on uploading some of the photos from our recent photo session. The pictures are by Buwalda Photography. If you want her info, let me know and I'll get it to you.
Let's hope I visit here soon with more updates!
