Back to School
Well it is that time of year. When you start to feel the season's changing and well the kids are gearing up for back to school. Tyler went back to School on monday and is loving being in Middle School. It is so weird having him back in public school, but hopefully things will be good here. He loves having a locker and is so excited about all of his teachers and classes. He is in band again and will be taking up the trombone again. Gotta go rent one today. Nicole starts her first day tomorrow of Pre-K and is so excited. Poor Skyler is on the waiting list and is going to be so sad when he realizes he will be home alone. Hopefully a spot will open up soon. But mom has some plans for him until then. We are gearing up for the long weekend and I think I am gonna fill it with canning. I have not been able to do that in a couple of years and we now live in an area with lots of farms and orchards. So I am gonna hit them this weekend to start building back up our supply. Hopefully peaches are ready.

I survived!!
The big 40 that is!! Boy I gotta tell ya, that was a hard one for me. I was really down in the dumps about it. I guess it was because, growing up I always looked at 40 as old and then bam the age hits me. Guess I need to look at it different. Oh and mother nature can sure be cruel. The day before my birthday I found my first gray hair!! ACK!! So I did survive the day, I didn't suddenly get wrinkles or anything and I am finally coming to grips with the fact that it is not that bad and it will be another 10 years before I have my next horrible birthday. LOL!
So it has been awhile since I updated my blog, I know bad blogger. The move was well, an adventure. We now know that after 15 years of marriage, you accumulate stuff. We loaded one 26 ft. truck and still needed more. So we picked up a 16 ft. truck and filled that all the way. The rest we had to cram in my Suburban, Walter's car and the travel trailer. Yep, you guessed it, time to down size, I mean REALLY downsize!! LOL! So a few days after we move into our new house Walter has to leave to go to a 2 week military exercise up in Pennsylvannia. Well one day after he leaves he calls me to tell me he was in the ER the night before and that they diagnosed him with a kidney stone. ACK!! They told him that he could stay up there as it should pass soon. So the next day I see a car pull up in front of the house and Walter gets out of the passenger side. They brought him back cause they said in his condition he was basically uselsess. So we spend the next week making many trips to the ER because he is in so much pain and the stone is not passing. It was very hard to see him like that. I have never seen him that sick before or in that much pain. We told the Doctor's over and over again that his dad has a history of kidney stones and that he cannot pass them as his tubes are too small. Finally on day 10 we pleaded with the Doctor down at Bethesda Naval Hospital to do something different. They brought down Doctors from Urology and we had to beg them to do something. They finally agreed to surgery. They got him in that night and after waiting 2 hours they finally came out and told me they were done and that the stone was stuck and would have never passed as his tube was too small. Hmmm, just like we told them was a possibility. In a matter of days he was back to his normal self eating ice cream again. He did lose 20 lbs during the ten days. Hmmm, new diet trend? LOL!
So we are almost setteled in our home, which I love by the way. So much bigger and I love this area. We are trying to adjust living on an Army Post. This is a first for both of us. Being Air Force, it is definately different. The nice part will be putting our kids in public schools. Tyler and Nicole start on monday and well poor little Skyler is on the waiting list for pre-k. Hopefully something will open up soon.
I have been back in the designing mode too. Just starting to get my mojo back. So here are my new goodies that are up in my stores at http://www.elementalscraps.com/, http://www.thedigishoppe.com/, and http://www.plaindigitalwrapper.com/.
