I haven’t posted in a while again.  I plan on getting back into daily postings.  I always notice when it’s missing from my life. However, I watched this on someone’s facebook today, and I sat here and cried for a couple of minutes… and then I decided I wanted to share it.  How touching.  It’s a little long, but so… Read More

Vegas was great, but it’s nice to be home. Really, it was wonderful to see my parents, and spend some quality time with Brock.  It was wonderful to not be working, and I couldn’t ask for any more.

The waiting is easier. It’s hard to imagine how much of a difference just knowing change is coming can make.  The knowledge that working seven days a week is at an end.  The anticipation of weekends together with Brock, and being able to relax and enjoy myself. One of Brock’s best friends from high school is thinking of buying a… Read More
