Day one of behing a SAHM......

Day one of being a stay at home mom went well. I had to take Aragorn to the doctor for an infection on his finger. But then we went to the park. The boys got to play until they told me they were ready to go home. I found one in our neighborhood, so from now on we can walk to it that will make things easy for me.

New House...........

This was our old house.....................

This is the new one!!!

Ryan.....

3 years ago today I lost one of the best friends I ever had.

I will not go into what happened, because the reason isn't important. What I will say is that perhaps we both lost our tempers and said some things we shouldn't have said.

I miss her for a lot of diffrent reasons, but mainly because she is the person I have known the longest aside from my mom. She knew me before I knew me. She helped me grow and learn she was always someone i could g to for advice. She was straight with me, she never sugar coated anything. If I wanted a straight answer i asked her. She was the one i got in trouble with and shared some of the most memorable moments with. Climbing the cherry tree on Downing to get to the most bitter sour cherries you have ever tasted, jumping over the fence to get to each other's houses, playing in the alley, walks to 7-11, playing in the car wash, sleepovers, TAR, playing in her huge house on Poplar, her move to Minnesota. Reconnecting after not speaking for a time, 1st trips to Vegas, Staying up all night, dancing, my wedding, tripe here just because, sharing with her the joy of being pregnant, and being one of the 1st people i called when i had Aragorn. planning her wedding. These memories are only a small portion of what i hold in my heart.

There is probably not enough sorry in the world to tell her, but i can only try. She has missed so much with Aragorn and as far as I know, doesn't even know about Rohan. We have missed so much in eachother's lives, that for us, should have been some of the biggest and most important moments. I have realized of late that, that the people you knew when you were young, are most likely the ones to stick in you in the future. I can only say:

Ryan if you read this. I am sorry. And I miss you.

Job gone......

I was laid off again on Thursday. The construction industry unfortunately is not picking up as they had hoped, and my position was no longer needed. Although i am sort of sad about this. I am also excited. Eric and i have talked, and we are going to see if maybe this can become permanent for me. But for now, I am excited to hang out with my boys. I am also happy the weather is getting warmer, I see a lot of trips to parks and the zoo and the museum.

Old friends are the best

Becky & Strut came into town on Tuesday on thier way to England and Paris. They took Kara Patterson for her 18th birthday/graduation gift. Making good on a promise they made to her when she was 7, if she went to college they would take her to England. We spent Wednesday evening with Becky and Stut as well as Kara and her mom Jean, and a bunch of other friends we hadn't seen in a while. It was wonderful to catch up with everyone. I got to talk to Kathy who I used to babysit for, her kids are in their early 20's. And Kara, whom I have known since she was Rohan's age, WOW where does time go? It was so weird to introduce Eric to people I have known since I myself was a kid. They all kind of chuckled when Becky reminded them I am a mom now too, and I know in their heads they also said WOW where does time go. It was an awesome dinner though, probably one of the best I can remember.
