Update on life!

It has been quite a while since I updated the blog, and a lot has happened. Where should I start?

The last few months have been hard as far as the family pets are concerned. First Bullwinkle, and then Natasha passed away. Bullwinkle shouldn't have been surprising -- he was 16 (old for a dog), but it did shock both Bobby and me. Natasha was less surprising -- she had been sick for a really long time.

I just feel like so much has changed this last year, and I am having a hard time finding my center. With Grandma passing away, and now the family pets (I really do know they aren't comparable -- but it is still hard for me), I just can't seem to catch my balance. Hopefully things will settle down in the next few months.

On a positive note -- Wes was hired on full time with ComData corporation this past month. It is really nice to see him enjoying his job. And he is happier that he is contributing more to our family now. It is also nice to see the boost in the checkbook each month. I am really enjoying that benefit.

Monday was my 26th birthday. Birthdays really haven't been the same since my 18th -- long story that I don't want to get into now. Wes and I celebrated last night (pay day). We went to the Ghengis Grille (Mongolian grill) for dinner, then got Wes a hair cut, ordered new contacts for me, and finished up by stopping by Best Buy to buy my b-day present (the 3rd season of NCIS). I really do like to watch all the TV shows on DVD. Tonight I am going out with Bevin and Jennifer like I do every week. It is nice to have some girl time, and normally Wes goes and plays poker with the guys when I am out with the girls. Of course, we were together last night, so he missed poker night. Oh, well. He won't let me miss my girls night short of serious illness. It's nice to have a hubby who protects my girl time and understands that there are times that we need to be apart.

I will try to update more frequently. I really will. Of course, I have said that before, so we will have to wait and see.
