In life the oddest things happen. They happen quick and in a furious succession that can leave one's head spinning. Since I have been gone for a while there are some things that I need to catch folks up on.
One, we moved on base. It is wonderful. People actually stop and let you cross the street, instead of using your crossing as an avenue for target practice. It's a beautiful thing. Not once since I moved has anyone tried to run me over.
Two, my grand baby was born on Dec 16th. She is a healthy, dark headed little princess named Lily. It was a rough start as she had a traumatic birth and had to be on oxygen for a couple of weeks, but over all she and Meaghan are doing wonderfully. She smiles every time she sees me and I love it. I think it is mainly because she knows I am about to do something completely moronic to make her laugh but that's fine. She is still smiling at me.
Three, I have had a series of surgeries on my eye's.
Little results with the first one's but the last one has allowed me to see a little more clearly. I am so excited about this! I had forgotten how bright and colorful the world is. After almost four years it is amazing to be able to see when my floors are dirty or that my grass is fried because they didn't fertilize it correctly! Seeing the mountains and the lake take my breath away! I feel like a new born baby just opening her eyes for the first time and seeing all the amazing life and nature going on around me!
Four, the boys are each doing amazingly well. Mr. P is about an inch shorter than I am now and he is only 10. I keep telling him I am going to get a bat so I can take his knees out if he is bad. After all in a year or so that is all I will be able to reach.
Kyle is already taller than I am and learning to drive. Mostly learning to drive me crazy. I guess that is normal at almost 17 though. :) He is a really good kid and I love him dearly.
Lastly Phillip is doing great. Got his promotion, and is being recruited by several different offices. He is currently turning them down as he is happy where he is at. Now that you are all caught up I will post something actually interesting tomorrow. haha.
If anyone can tell me how to allow followers I would be very grateful!
Until Tomorrow then!
Congratulations on the arrival of Lily. May God Bless her and keep her healthy.
