Fort Collins.....
.... So it looks like we will be making the big move.... As much as we love Tucson we really want to be close to our dad more.. Kelley is working at the mine in southern Wyoming and doesn't feel like there is much in the way of opportunity for the kiddos there as far as schools and activities so we are looking at Northern Colorado. Talk about BEAUTIFUL!!! The towns are nice sized, the cost of living is half of Tucson which means bigger house!! YAY!! And there is a 4 year university there so i can finally finish my schooling!! Most of the kids are good with the decision but miss Maddi is dead set against it...she has her circle of friends here, not to mention she just had "the best best" week at girls camp! She loves her young womens leaders and the girls she went to camp with! It breaks my heart to have her go through this!! We will go up there next week to look around so hopefully it will make it easier to swallow, gosh i hope so......
Where do i begin......
I can't believe how long it has been since i posted anything on this blog!! So much has happened i feel like such a slacker..... Let see if i can cover everything without boring myself and everyone else to tears!!
Ok so Kelley has his job in Wyoming which he really enjoys! WE on the other hand are spinning crazily out of control down here in the desert, but we are getting by! Thank goodness i have such a good time and great relationship with my children! It makes things so much easier! I did quit my job because I couldn't handle being away from them so much. That whole teenager thing with kids active in everything imaginable was pretty tough with a full time job..... I was missing tons of things!! Not to mention that my house was starting to talk because of all the filth and laundry and dishes and take out and so on and so on!!
Lets see... summer has been kinda crazy so far.... took a trip south to visit... Its so funny i always thought people were dumb for talking about how sacred and special mouintans and stuff like that was until I walked over to the Mississippi while i was in Memphis. It literally choked me up!!! My family grew up along the delta in Louisiana and being there was like saying hello to my grandfather who i miss all the time! It was strange but so comfortable! I spent a couple days there and headed to Fort Benning to see my baby brother who is one of my heros! As a soldier he has had to endure so much that it breaks my heart and makes me proud at the same time! He was there September 11, he was there for the Space Shuttle, and he was in Iraq, so being with him i feel like i am in the presence of my own little celebrity although when i mention it to him he is very quick to point out that he is far from it!! It was a great vacation for me! But i missed my kiddos terribly! They stayed in NM with my inlaws who just absolutely rock!! Everyone had such a great time there! They rode four wheelers, played outside, hunted and just had a very laid back country type of time! As a matter of fact I am still cleaning Luna dirt out of Connors ears!! Hilarious!!They love that place!
I'm guessing that is all i will do for this post, i think i'll break them up so i can follow myself a little easier.......
