A LOT HAS CHANGED

-
Wow life sure moves quickly. The past few months have been so full of change. Scott got a job with a judge in Idaho Falls and he and Jen moved there in September. They are liking living there. I miss seeing them but I am so happy for them and so proud. Scott would meet me for lunch in Logan and it was nice to have some time with him. They are back in Logan often but I still miss them just stopping by.

Taylor and Josh are going to be moving to Iowa in August for Medical School. I knew it would happen but I never imagined Iowa. It will be an adjustment for sure but I know that they will be happy and successful and that is what I want.

Cassidy is doing great at the salon she works for. She has grown up a lot and I am sure in the next year I will see some major life events going on for her.

Brady..well that is a subject that makes my heart hurt a bit. Brady decided he was needing to be closer to his dad in Vegas and so he moved back. It was hard for many reasons but he needed to get to know his dad and I wanted him to have the chance to do that. He is doing great and seems so happy. I just miss that kid more than he knows.

I am working for a small law firm and I love it. I have a sense of accomplishment that I think was missing in my life. Not that raising 4 amazing kids was not an accomplishment but I think they would be great without me. I am happy here but I do miss my old life so much. I miss my parents, my sisters, being a wife and being a stay at home mom. I love my job and I love working but I miss the time in my life when little kids came home from school with backpacks full of things I didn't know if I should keep or toss out. I miss family dinners and reading bedtime stories. I
miss that life. I feel like it was pulled out from under me. I feel like part of me is gone. I guess it is.

Life is good. I am happy. Life just changes. I guess that is what makes it life.

I Made the Life I was Dreaming of My Actual Life  So let me talk about my move to Hawaii and what it is all about. If you are new here, I am 55 years old, mother of 4 grown kids and grandma to 6. After 23 years of marriage, I decided that I needed a life. A happy life. I was tired and unhappy and decided it was ok to put myself first.  Now, I did not just leave my life and move to paradise. I spent about 13 years getting my degree from  Southern New Hampshire University  online while I worked full time. I moved to michigan and I also built my career. I work for  Little Unicorn  and I love my job and the company. I will get into that in another post because it deserves its own post.  After my kids were married and settled and done with school, I decided that I was going to build a life for myself. A single woman in her 50's can start over. I spent a few months selling everything and I mean..everything. I sold my car, my clothes,my dishes, books, my furniture, all of it. I looked onl

Missing people and the feelings that childhood brings

 It is always so surprising to me that a simple song can come on Spotify and I feel so many feelings. Rocky Mountain High by John Denver came on and I instantly thought of my aunt Marie ( AKA Re-Re). She was my mom's little sister and I spent a lot of time with her growing up. I miss her. I miss her under 5 foot frame and her over 6 foot tall personality.  I hear Hotel California and I think of my sister Lisa. She is the second of the 4 sisters. I am the 4th. Lisa and I have never been really close. I have so many memories of her music though. Elton John                 ( especially Rocket Man), James Taylor, The Eagles etc. I remember her smelling like Blue Grass perfume and her pale blue Honda Civic. I remember going to a Libertarian rally with her when I was probably 9 years old.  She seemed so sophisticated and worldly to me at the time.I thought she was so cool. She loved Burt Reynolds. That was weird. Little River Band is my songs for Lori. I hear it and I almost feel sad. I

IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME...

So yes I have ignored my blog for a year. I guess I assume nobody is even reading it so why bother? I decided to do a quick recap and just sort of ramble... I have a new job. It is great. I am working as a Legal Assistant at a law firm in Logan. I work with the nicest people and have learned a lot. I still have a lot to learn but I am sure it will all pull together in time. I moved. I left my 5 bedroom home and downsized to a townhouse. It is really pretty and very upgraded and I am loving the big bathtub and fireplace. I have a nice little grass yard where I have my patio table and we eat outside often. Oliver likes the yard as well and he has more freedom since it is fenced in. Cassidy moved out and into a town-home in the same development. She is living with friends and working in a salon doing hair. I am so proud of her. She has sure grown up this past year. Taylor and Josh moved as well and are in Logan for another year.  They both graduated from USU in May. They will be goi
