4:30am...and here I sit.

I was awaken by thunder around 2:30 am and haven't been able to get back to sleep so I just wandered into the bonus room to watch some TV and check email. I hate it when I can't fall back to sleep. I am sure that cup of Starbucks I had after dinner isn't helping though! LOL!

I had such a great time today. Two of my close friends were over tonight and the 3 of us haven't been together at the same time for almost 6 years. And for me and Jenni we had a falling out a few years ago and didn't speak for some time. It took my father's passing to realize how pointless holding onto the anger and that grudge was and I wrote her a heartfelt apology for whatever it was that had caused our fight. We made up thankfully and have kept in touch mostly by email since. Today was the first time we had seen each other in so long and it was actually quite emotional when we first saw each other and we hugged so tight. Even now I am still teary-eyed thinking about it. And then when Dyane arrived with her fiance...man it was like old times again! We laughed so much tonight and had a great time! It was nice to meet Dyane's fiance finally too. He seems like a great guy and the two of them seem to fit together well. Of course I took pictures but not with my digital so I can't post any tonight. I am already planning out the scrapbook pages! LOL!

I should really quit procrastinating!

I have had this blog set up for months but have been putting off posting anything because I just couldn't think of anything really interesting to say...but I have decided to just go for it. Besides which it will be an easier way to keep in touch with some of my family and friends. Things have been busy here as Steve and I are getting ready to open our new business. Steve has been doing the hard stuff right now but not much I can do when I am taking care of the kids. Soon enough they will be back in school though and I will actually be working for the first time in about 6 years...yikes. Hopefully things will go well...keep your fingers crossed for us. ;)
