It has been forever since I last posted to my blog! Sooo much has happened and I won't bore all of you with the details; except to say that I have lost weight and Jaymi and I are having the time of our life!
Jaymi has just loved being a cheerleader at the JHS and is so excited about next year cheering at the HS! She has become this amazingly beautiful, smart, talented young woman and I am so pleased with her! Sad that there have been some negative stresses in her life lately that have caused her to have Shingles - what a horrible thing to have! Good news is that she is recovering quickly and I have made some life changes for both of us that will eliminate some of that stress - Whew!
Summer is practically here and my lettuce, tomatoes, onions and strawberries are growing so fast! I can't seem to keep the pets out of the mint so it isn't doing so well. I am also almost done with a complete remodel of the basement; I took out walls and everything! All that is left is the floor and paint and ordering the pool table. Come on over and let's play! The best news of the remodel other than it looks FANTASTIC is that it is now time to have a huge garage sale. I am getting rid of so many things that I don't need and it feels liberating.
I am really getting the hang of being back in school. Take my advice, get your education done when you are young - It is so hard to go back! I figure that with some family time off I should graduate in 2010 or 2011; a little before my chickadee graduates high school! It's about time I did this!
Jaymi and I booked a great trip to Germany for spring 09! I can't wait to visit with all of the friends we have there. We are also planning time to go to Paris - Look out! I here the shopping is great so I had better take extra bags! This summer we will plan to visit family and friends in KS, OK, AZ and CA! I hope to try to fit in IL, too!
Let me just say a few things about this picture...First, Jaymi IS wearing heels, but I do have to say that she is now officially taller than I am! Second, doesn't she just look stunning!?!!! OH, and one more thing - she finally got her braces off!
