It seems like it has been a long time since my last post. Mostly that is due to the fact that I just have not been inspired to write anything. I guess things have been hectic around here too, but isn't every body's life hectic and crazy? So I will just give you a general update, but be warned, I don't have much if anything "witty" to say.
Our house in VA is rented, this you know. And the house we are building here in MI is coming along. We just did the electrical walk through (I had no clue that would take 2-3 hours..literally) and picked out cabinets and some of the flooring. The contractor says his best guess is the end of July for a move in date...I pray he is right.
I have been trying to get in a few study sessions every week to be ready to take my Pharmacy Technician Exam at the beginning of July. We also recently joined the Y and so I am trying to get in a few trips there every week as well. School is winding down for B and W, and it is totally over for H. Work and health are both very good for R, thank the Lord.
Our brother (Erin's step, my half) just popped in for a whirlwind mother's day visit. Lots of fun. M is recovering very well from a routine surgery. Yes, that means both of our hubbies have had surgery during the last few months..interesting timing.
So now we are all gearing up for the summer crazies. Erin's family has soccer, soccer camps, other camps and more soccer. J is graduating in a week and returning home to his lovely and not so private corner of the basement soon after that. For my family there is a Fathers day weekend trip to Chicago to plan and take, camps to register for, racket ball and swim lessons..and hopefully another trip to VA for a visit. And hopefully there will be moving, unpacking, and settling into the new house going on towards the end of it all.
Edited to add...
I can't believe that I forgot to tell you that we have declared June the month of cake here. Really just the last half of June. Starting on the 15th we have a total of 4 birthdays and Father's Day to celebrate. I think that is an average of a new cake every 3 days....seriously. We will all look well fed and feel well loved by the end of June. ;-)
