I'm Baaaa-aack!

Hello?  Is anybody out there?  Who knows if anyone will even read this!  It's been so long since I've posted that I'm sure most of my friends/readers have given up on me.  Oh well...if you're still out there, here's a short update on the latest events.

It's been a crazy year!  After having our family spread out in three different locations (Abilene, Houston and Anthem, AZ) for about six months, we are finally all back together again!  We moved back to Texas at the end of May and believe you me, it was a long, drawn-out, stressful process.  However, all's well that end's well.  We've moved into a beautiful new house that is a mile away from my parents and 1/2 a mile away from our daughter's High School.  I get to see my precious nephew and niece almost every day, so life is good.  We've spent the summer unpacking, installing shelves, renewing or transferring driver's licenses, bank accounts, insurance, utilities and etc., etc. etc.  : )

We did take a break for a little fun though.  My sweet husband agreed to take ballroom dance lessons with me.  So, for the past 5 Mondays, we've been attending a dance class with some friends of ours and have learned to Fox Trot, Cha-Cha, Swing Dance and Waltz.  It's been really fun and Stephen was a real sport to do this with me and did a great job!  Will we ever use this new skill?  Who knows, but it was a blast to learn and a nice break from all the craziness this summer.

We miss our friends in Arizona and the beautiful weather there, but I must admit it's very good to be close to my family again.

We're all doing fine and getting settled in.  Once school starts, we'll probably get a more set routine (I hope!) and maybe I'll have a chance to update this blog more often.  Until then, I wish all my friends out there in blog-ville a fond hello.  Hope all's well with you and yours.
