Dear Kids:
Okay - SO I finally did it. I applied to college and sat thru a 2 hour orientation. Now I just have to pray that I get my financial aid in order and my previous college transcripts ordered in time before classes start August 30th.
It is my goal to become a certified personal trainer and registered dietitian !
I'm nervous and scared and excited all at the same time. I am tired just thinking about it, but hopefully I can get done before any of you start college, huh? :) I'm hoping to get done before sweet baby James starts Kindergarten.
So wish me luck, pray for me and rub my shoulders when I feel stressed!
Love, MOM

R a N d O m !
Dear Kids:
Here are my top ten random thoughts floating around in my head right now...
1. We very much enjoyed a small group Church fellowship gathering last night. Even all of your boys loved it.
2. Your 26 year old cousin Ashley who just graduated nursing school has recently moved in with us to make a new life here in Houston. She is energetic and industrious so I am optimistic.
3. A foreign exchange student from Russia - who is 15 - will arrive August 3rd and she will share a room with Victoria and live with us for 10 months.
4. I think I'm Anemic.
5. Our teacup sized puppy named 'Margarita' died. Very sad.
6. Absolutely loved seeing the movie 'Inception' with Victoria.
7. I have not lost any more weight lately. I have not gained either. Time to shake things up a little bit.
8. When you kids go back to school in August - so will I. I am going back to college as a full time student.
9. We are in the midst of painting all the walls in our house. I love the new color. It makes me smile.
10. Things are going very well in our family.

Absent -not forgotten
Dear Kids!
So sorry I have not been keeping up with this blog nearly the way I intended to. Too busy living life to write about life, I guess.
Yesterday I had a whirlwind adventure. I drove about 5 hours by myself to Mansfield, TX to pick up your cousin Ashley who is 26 years old. She is my brother's 1st daughter. She just graduated nursing school and will be looking for a job here in Houston. So exciting to have her staying with us for a bit. After I picked her up, we got a little lost on the way back, so it took more like 6 hours to get home, instead of 5. OH well - we called it an adventure.
Meanwhile, your father has finished his MBA and that is very exciting. Now he has more time to work on household projects - like PAINTING. Yes, we are in the midst of painting every wall. We have a lot done so far - a nice shade of light green - but more work to do. We have been re-arranging furniture and throwing stuff out and giving things away. Woo hoo for de-cluttering.
And speaking of giving things away - OH sweet James - you hit a milestone. We gave away your crib and you now sleep in a big boy bed. Yay! You do it so well too, you are an awesome sleeper, always have been. I thank God for you every day (and your awesome sleeping habits).
At this moment, as I type - your father has taken all of you kids to the Galleria mall, and I am here all by myself. I must say, it's kinda quiet. I need to get some work done- so much to do. Best get busy and take advantage of my solitude.
