It's been awhile ...

I'm Back! :)

WOWZA! Looking at the last date, it's been about six months since I last blogged ... hmmm ... it looks as if Facebook has dominated my life! RUDE! I will be better at my blogging starting now - why, you ask? Well, seeing as only 5 people really look at this, I'll tell you why ... I feel less guilty about not writing in my journal. HA! So there! :)

Quick re-cap on events in the past six months ... that I remember, that is ....

- Went to Wisconsin for Grandma Suprise's funeral in early May


- Went to California (just me, Melissa and Austin) to stay with Pam and the cousins


- Gabby had 4 puppies - on my birthday! (this was a tragic day as well ... she had a puppy that didn't make it and I bawled like a BABY at the vet's)


- Carla came to visit for her birthday


- Went to my high school class reunion in Wisconsin ... it was the first one I have ever attended! Most of the old "group" were there ... HA! The picture of me and the head band is priceless!

- School started (Melissa is at a different high school this year - yeah! Austin is at the middle school - woop!)


- We don't have any more foster kids in the house (HOLLA!) :D


- I went to Salt Lake City with Carla to do some genealogy for a few days


- went to a Tea Party in Grand Forks

- Melissa now is legal to drive! YIKES

- Halloween in ND wasn't too cold this year! ;)


*NOTE* - Looking at the past months seems as if we have been busy, but our lives have really slowed down since we aren't fostering anymore! (sigh of relief) I believe that Austin mentioned that he doesn't want to have any foster brothers or sisters EVER again. It was hard, but we did it!
