END OF THE YEAR

-















I have not been n very good at updating the past few months. Here is a quick update.

1. We decided NOT to move to Montana. There is no Paul Mitchell for Cassidy to attend.

2. I have a fun new job. I have a friend who owns a dog bakery and I am her baker. I get to make all kinds of fun cookies and treats for dogs. it is so fun and I really like it.

3. We have discovered Brady has a talent as an artist. I am amazed at how easily he can draw something. The kids talents are truly endless.

4. Cassidy has decided to stay in Las Vegas to go to hair school ( Paul Mitchell). I am glad. I was not ready for her to move out just yet

5. Taylor always amazes me. She works so hard in school and always carries more credits then anyone should. On top of that, she runs 3 miles a day and still volunteers in the Mentor program in Logan. She mentored the same little girl for a couple of years. What a lucky little girl.

6. Scott has finished his first semester of law school at the University of Oregon. He is so excited and loves every second of it he has told me.

7. The biggest news is... Scott and Jen are engaged. He popped the big question at Disneyland in front of the castle while we were all there, It was exciting ( and pouring rain). We are all SOOOO excited to have Jen in the family this May.

that is pretty much the big stuff going on right now. I hope this new year will be filled with new wonderful things. 2010 was filled with so much sadness we could all use some happy now. Happy new year everyone...enjoy the pictures!

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
