Time marches on!

So it has been a few months since I posted on my blog.
Kristen got engaged and is now married. Michelle received a new kidney and has been having a few issues but things are looking up. Robby and Brittany have come and gone home and are now on a cruise. Alyse's life is about ready to take off in a direction she never imagined. She has even experienced kidney stones as well. Mike is still going out to Ca. My sister Kathy officially went into remission from the cancer that has plagued her for over 3 or 4 years. I don't have a job anymore but is that really a bad thing? I couldn't have worked and done a wedding in 9 weeks. I have a job offer that should start in about 4 weeks. I have 2 applications still out so we shall see. Trent moved in with us and soon brought his cute little family with him. We were also blessed to have Marcia, Max and Cynthia come out for the wedding as well as Mike's mom. I learned that my parents house is being sold for the 2nd time and someone has completely over hall it! It doesn't look anything like it did when we left it. Who does that? Okay I know lots of people do!

So things have been a little crazy but it's all good stuff. I have learned a ton! I always known how many wonderful friends and family members we have but their love and help have put many !!!! at the end. I couldn't have done any of this without them. After the wedding I was very very tired! Mike and I took the opportunity to sneak away for the night to visit the coast at a bed and breakfast. We got off later then we had hoped so we missed the sunset on the beach. But it just mattered that we were together. We were sound asleep when the phone in the home rang about 1:30 am to which I said please don't let that be for us. It was! Alyse was having a kidney stone attack. But we were told to wait and not come home and they would see how things were going and keep us posted. So Mike would set his phone alarm and call ever hour or two. Kathy, Devin, Kristen and Lance took care of Alyse. We were determined to get some oysters so off to Panama City we went and we had a great time. The oysters were amazing as was the company. I love spending time with my one true love. I told Mike when I woke up that Saturday I'm not sure if I am tired or exhausted!

I did have a struggle when Kathy called me and told me Mom and Dad's house was up for sale. She went over and took some pictures. The house has changed and it made my heart so sad. Kind of like my home base was now gone as well as my parents. Even though they have been gone for years. Kathy told me she would go to the open house and feel the walls and take pictures for me but I am sure it just wont be the same. The house that built me has changed. I would still like to go visit at least one more time to the house at 16143 Camino Del Sol.

So here I sit today feeling so much better but still thinking about the old homestead. But all in all I am finally rested up and my legs have recovered from the standing and walking of the wedding and the drives all over Florida and Alabama. And I always realize that life keeps going on and that is a good thing.
