This used to be our blog

Maybe I'll start posting some blogs again, we shall see how it goes. Updates from the last year or so

1. We had to give Trevor back after only a few months, he was aggressive towards mom and her aides, and had some serious seperation anxiety resulting in him biting and chewing and causing damage to his little pug body. He's happily found a new home that loves and cares for him.


2. Mom passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on February 18th...something that a family can never fully recover from, but each day the pain and the sadness lessens.


3. Jason regularly jumps out of airplanes for the army now...he makes sure to text me immediately after landing so that I know he's not a human pancake


4. I got a promotion, it was an offer that I couldn't refuse. Whether that was the best decision for me still remains to be seen.


5. My relationship with my estranged father is slightly less estranged. He comes to church with us sometimes. It's baby steps.


6. Jason will graduate from his MBA program with a focus in Project Management in December of this year...he's looking for a job if anyone out there is hiring.


7. There's a very good chance that we will adopt a puppy named Otis. We happened to be driving down the street and saw a litter of puppies hanging out in someone's front yard. The most natural thing to do of course is to immediately stop, say hi to all the puppies, and inquire after their "for-sale" status. You can't say no to puppy breath.


8. We shall in the next few months have an Iraqi living in our basement. Not so sure how to feel about that one.


9. I've been desperately trying to convince Jason to take me on a vacation. We haven't been anywhere, with no other purpose than relaxing, since he came back from Iraq.


10. Jason currently works part time at Home Depot in the paint department while he works his way through school...interesting.


11. My shoe collection has grown approximately 20% since the last blog post.


12. I'm still trying to convince Jason that "what I need" to cope with my grief is of course another pair of shoes.


13. My all time favorite book "Water for Elephants" has been made into a movie coming out April 22nd. I'm very excited, and highly recommend the book.


14. My cute little one year old computer has decided to implode...it needs a new motherboard...I didn't buy the extended warranty...I'm very upset...and I can't access Facebook. Sorry Facebook.

The End.
