Hello!

Well hello all :) I can't believe it's been more than a week since I updated, and yet it feels like soo much longer than that! It's just been so busy around here that I haven't had time to think, let alone update. And since internet at home is few and far between - I can't really take a lot of time for blogging at work ya know?

Lets see... I've been scrapbooking with friends so when i have a chance I'll update those layouts, I've been to two different states (OHIO and INDIANA) and I've bought a car, and got my hair cut...lol Between Dr's appts, renting cars, checkingout dealerships, and all the other things life throws at you... wow. That's all I can say.

The car thing turned out really well - I'm getting a Ford Freestyle - it's a 2006 and has about 40K miles on it. I think I'm getting the good end of the stick as my PT Cruiser had 146K on it... So this is a pic of it. Granted, mine is green - but I like it just the same. It's basically a crossover SUV/Wagon. The new 2008/2009 models are called the new Ford Taurus. Mine seats 6 and is pretty cool. Later on I might look at having a remote car starter installed, and if I fall into some extra money I will put a moonroof in it also since I do miss that from my PT.

I have to admit that blogging about my dad's memorial service is hard, for a myriad of reasons, and I think I almost lost it there a couple times, but I think.... I'm hoping no one really saw that. It's hard to know that he's gone, and I should have been more involved in his life - and I wasn't... but I can't go back only forward. This pic is my family. My 3 uncles, Gary, David and Paul are here, Aunt Sue (Uncle Gary's wife) and myself, Tye and Beth (dad's girlfriend) in the center. Isn't she cute? Yes, we are smiling, but my father wouldn't have had it any other way....


Well, on to more updates. While we had a serious reason for our trip down to Indiana, the pit-stop in Ohio was well spent. I really enjoyed hanging out with my Aunt Hannah and Uncle Mike, and of course my cousin Katie. Her kiddo Connor is sooo cute! I just want to eat him up! Here's one of the BEST pics from the weekend... Aren't they sooo adorable?

Well that's it for now - I'll update soon. We pick the new car up on Tuesday - so If the snow ever lets up and I can be outside for more than 5 minutes at a time...lol I'll post some pics!
