It's Going to be a New Year

I have not posted to this blog in a long time.  This will be short and to the point.  Nothing to report worth reporting and I will hopefully pick up blogging after the new year.  Hopefully 2016 will be better in lots of ways.  We shall see.  Change is always hard but sometimes change is the only way to continue.

Just a few pictures of those I miss and a few more.

Taking a LONG Trip

I am taking a LONG trip.  Going to MD to pick up my mother-in-law's furniture and driving  back through Oklahoma to pick up daughter's furniture then drive it all home.  Long and hard!  Some things just have to be done.  This is one of those things.  Hopefully there will be things along the way that will make me smile.

Some Days...

Mother,  I am missing you a lot today.  It seems like life is just complicated and you helped me keep it in prospective.  So, I am missing you today.  Some days I feel lost and alone and wish you were here just to hear your sweet voice and hold your strong hand.  I know you are far more comfortable and would never want you to come back to your broken body.  I'm trying...I love you!

We Celebrate Our Firstborn

The firstborn, daughter number 1, will be celebrating a birthday.  Here is a tribute to this amazing daughter!  We love you!  Enjoy the walk down memory lane.

There you have it.  There are TONS more but I will save some for another tribute.  Daughter,  I love you dearly!  I look forward to living near you!  I hope this next year is the best you've had, so far.

Big Happenings...

This week is the beginning of some big changes.  I leave soon to go to OKC and celebrate the first daughter's birthday.  Then we will be packing up her little Civic and driving to Colorado.  In the next 2 weeks we will just settle in here then we will fly to DC and pack up the MIL's furniture and drive to OKC and pack up the daughter's furniture and drive to Colorado.  Both are SUPER excited to join us in Colorado.  We, too are so excited to have almost all our family here with us.  Hopefully the weather will cooperate with us as we travel cross country.  Thanks to a friend of the daughters, I will not be making that drive from DC to Colorado.  They are actually looking forward to the road trip.  I am glad to be flying home.  But not before the daughter and I have a day in Annapolis.  Could be our last trip back east.  That's OK, we have been going for years.  The loved ones there will be in Colorado!

More From Our Sunday Adventure

The Sunday adventure was so fun.  Here are a few more pictures from that.

Last Day of September

Nothing significant about the last day of September.  I just wanted to get one more blog post in before a new month.  I am trying to stay up with my blog even when I don't have much to blog about.
I did finally upload all the pictures from the big birthday party this summer.  That alone is a couple of days posting.  I will start with the real birthday dinner.  It was to be only the MIL and the husband and me.  But I knew that the firstborn red-haired angel girl was in town early and was going to surprise her grandmother by joining us for dinner.  It was great.  Just the 4 of us at one of our favorite Italian places in Rockville.  Amalfi's is some amazing Italian food.
