a quiet return

blah blah blah busy blah blah blah no Internet blah blah blah

Phew! I am glad we got that excuse portion of this return blog out of the way. Kind of dreaded it anyway.

On to new things: 1st, did you see that Jeff stole my blog layout!!? I guess that's his subtle way of seeing if I still read his blog, which granted I don't much, but really.. it was my layout first!
2nd Bella has been going to school in a homeschooling co-op on Mondays. She currently attends Tumbling and the Good News Club. Soooooooooooooo cute! It is the best feeling bringing her there. I feel like a real mom. In case Jeff hasn't bragged on her (which I don't know because I don't read his blog ;-), Bella has been learning sign language and is really good at it! I am so impressed! She can sign many animals now, please, thank you, help, mommy, daddy... she's INCREDIBLE!
3rdly- for those of you who knew my mom wasn't well, the results are in and she has MS. She is injecting herself every other day with a protein that is supposed to stop the progression and lessen the frequency of flare ups. She was losing her hair, but I cut it into a cute little bob and she's looking adorable. She is doing well for the most part, but is trying to recover financially. Please pray for a full-time job with benefits.
4th- I still enjoy working at the natural food store. It is really a lot of fun and I'm learning a lot. I have cut out processed sugar from my diet and wheat/gluten. I have also been going to the gym, albeit only 2 times a week, but I'm getting there. I have dropped ~10 pounds and feeling much better for it. I feel a little of my old self rising up (the drill sergeant) and it's nice to have her back.
5- my dad and sister are moving to Arizona. I already miss them a ton, so please agree with me that God will be gracious and merciful and let me see them soon. Gosh, I love them!
6- I have started a new job with my friend Jason Killam. He is a real estate agent and I am learning a *bunch* from him. He is really one of the most benevolent and kind-hearted people. Thank God for him and the chance to make some 'extra' money from home. (I say 'extra' because it is much needed!!)
7-More? I don't know if there is right now. But as soon as I think of something, I promise to try and post it.
8- I am watching Lost- and joining a fairly large group of Americans that do (some GREAT friends included) and I may ask questions from time to time, so help a sista out when she can't figure out what the heck is going on!! On that note who died at the end of the last season, anyway? Who was in the coffin???

I love all of you that still check this out from time to time. Thank you.

God be with you!

MUAH!
