No excuses, no lies. I just suck at blogging. I really do have the best of intentions to keep this thing up to date, but I obviously don't do it. Oh well. Better late than never!
What's happened in the last five months??? Well, Cole turned 12 and started 7th grade. So, I have a kid in Jr. High and High School! Ugh! Makayla started her Junior year of high school. And turned 16... and got her driver's license. I haven't decided yet if that's a good thing or bad thing - good when I don't have to drive her to work or I need something from the store and send her instead! Bad when it's late and I worry about her driving home, and every time I hear sirens nearby and worry she's been in an accident, etc, etc, etc...
We moved! Yep - that was unexpected! I'm blaming my parents. See, they moved (finally) back down here from Prescott. And while I was doing the final walkthrough with my Mom, one thing lead to another and the next thing I know, the realtor is showing me houses!! So, we bought a smaller house on an acre of land! Jon is so excited to not have an HOA and to be able to build his shop someday soon!
I am in full training mode for a half marathon in January. And funny enough - I started another blog about running, which I am much better about keeping up with! This weekend I conquered six miles, so I'm excited to be approaching the halfway mark! Next week Jon and I are running a 10k Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning! That will be my first "race" and I'm pretty excited!
I also cannot believe that it's almost Thanksgiving. And almost December! Seriously, where did this year go? It's been a rough and interesting year for sure, but man, did it fly by! Here's looking forward to 2014 and hoping it's a much happier year with much less loss and heartache.
