Nov. 20, 2008

Six months ago tonight, I was on the flight that saved my life. My how things change in 6 months! Blake is 14 and in the 9th grade @ RHS. Brooke is 12 and in the 7th grade at Elmwood. I am in my 5th year as a Technology Curriculum Specialist, and life is as busy as ever! I ate dinner @ Hot Rod Mike's with Joey and his "tribe" tonight, and we had a blast! Mike and Christina Gall, Joey's brother and sister-in-law, have opened a restaurant in Fayetteville with authentic Chicago-style food. His kids and I wrote everyone's names on napkins and played Hangman, and it made me remember all the fun times Blake, Brooke and I used to have doing all those "kill-the-moment-waiting-for-the-food" things! Kids grow up so fast!! And every day, I am getting older. But that really doesn't bother me. Okay......I have to admit....the grey hair does bother me...the cellulite does bother me...and the tiredness does bother me. But, overall, I'm completely fine!! :) More than anything, I'm so very thankful to be alive! No time that passes will ever take that away.
