Where have I been?!?

I started this blog to post about our daily goings on at our house. The intention was that I would post the good, the bad and every thing in between. Well, after my last post things at our house became sort of undone. It is fair to say we had a rough year or so. That said I will do my best to explain. You see, sometimes we get tangled into our daily life and it overwhelms us and keeps us so consumed we don't get much else done. Since I posted last we lost several family members. We lost some to illness and some to old ago. We lost 11 relatives, including aunts, uncles, Mike's great grandmother and most difficultly we lost Mike's dad to a very long, very tough battle with cancer. While all of this has been going on we have also dealt with medical issues and Mike's unemployment. But, funny thing that unemployment, I have come to see it as something of a blessing during his dad's illness. It enabled him to be able to take care of his parents, assisting with doctors appointments, finish projects, and really anything that they thought might need to be done. So, at this point we are working to pick ourselves up and get ourselves back on track. We are thinking that it is time for things to change, good things to come around. I can only hope that is what sets on our horizon. But, I would be remiss to not say, THANK YOU!! Thank you everyone for your kinds words and deeds through this hard time for us. We love you all and think of you all often.

Now, I plan to pick my blog up, dust it off, and get my self back to posting. Jen
