You know that moment when you have let 3 years of your life fly by and you suddenly decide to step away from normal social media like facebook (which, btw, was the ultimate killer of this blog) and you sit down ready to spill the incredible last 3 years and all of a sudden you are left sitting there in shock by just how much there is to share? Yeah? Good, then you know exactly how I feel sitting here now, lol.
So, let's start off by saying that chances are, anyone reading this now knows what all I have accomplished myself and as a family in the last 3 years, so we will make a bulletin instead....
1) we moved to our dream homestead in Ellijay in 2016
2) I currently do not foster dogs anymore due to allergy issues with Brian and moving.
3) my kids are now 13 and 10 (and coming up quick on 11 and 14)
4) I am a sub teacher now in my county but that may be changing soon again
5) we have 5 cats now (Blue is somehow still kicking but not for much longer I fear), Peanut, Christopher's cat from hell that is a long haired nightmare beast, Leia, laci's cat who we picked up as a stray in our old back yard and we call the ghost cat bc she only comes out around us, Chilly Will (also known as Will, Chill Will, Chilly William, Williamson, Wilford, Wilfred, Willy, Willsnapper ect ect ect), and Hannibal....the meanest weirdest cat of the bunch, Will's brother.
6) We still have Momma the old pitbull, and currently expecting our new Bloodhound baby, Beauregard in a few weeks.
7) last year we got into civil war reenacting and while we started for Christopher, we have all fallen madly in love with the hobby and we are happily immersed in that.
8) I am still married, Happily, to my best friend in the world.
9) I recently have decided that I am not finding as much comfort and fun on facebook as I did to begin with and looking for that old friend, my personal little circle here on my blog.
10) I lost my grandpa in 2016 and it was devastating to me, I recently got a really nice tattoo in his honor on my right forearm.
11) My brother David got married and his new wife has 3 kids from a previous relationship so I have a new nephew and 2 twin nieces.
12) my mom got married, and has an amazing new husband of a few years now, Harry, who we all love dearly, and who has older kids so I have a new step sister and step brother, my step sister had a son a while back so I have a toddler nephew as well. :)
13) christopher is finishing up his last year in Middle school here and going to HS in August and I am trying not to freak out, and Laci who is in 5th grade now, is also in middle school now bc in Ellijay, the school system is set up to where they are in the first of two middle schools in 5th grade!
....hmmmm
well, there is literally a million points and things for each one of those points, lol, but I am just happy to be knocking the dust off here and will hopefully get back into things properly here like I clearly have been trying to do for years before falling off the earth here. :)
Happy Wednesday!
