Update

My goodness I have abandoned my blog lately. I have missed it though. Thanks to everyone who checks it and who has commented. I do enjoy knowing that someone gets some pleasure out of it.
I just wanted everyone to know that I have gotten a new sense of purpose in my scrapbooking. I was in a scrappin slump and tonight got a renewed energy. I meet a fun group of women who love to scrap and have taken me in. Yes they are miles away but I totally enjoyed spending time with them and think it will be worth going once a month to do these projects with them. For those of you who scrap it is The Big Picture classes. I enjoyed tonight so much I bought the book. I even got a lo done. YAH ME
Okay enough about me. The family is doing well. DH is getting ready for another cook off in February. It is a big one and is just for fun. All of the money raised goes to charity and they have tons of events through out the weekend. I am looking forward to this one. Bri is getting older every day. I feel so lost some days. I wonder where did the time go???? And when did it pass me by??? I keep looking for my little girl and keep finding this amazing you girl. I am in awe of her. I love watching her when she isn't looking. Silly yes I know but that is my sad life. The simple things in life bring me joy. I'll see if I can find some fun pics to put up here. I know I must have taken some recently.
So to all of my friends in blog land I am here again and thanking you for being so patient with me.

My Birthday

My birthday has come and gone once again. This year I was in San Antonio for a seminar on home health. I must say though this was one of the funnest birthdays I have had. We went down to the river walk and found our way to Howl at the Moon. I had so much fun there. The music was great and the drinks were cold what else could I have asked for. My co workers were a blast as well.
I learned that you can have fun no matter where you are or who you are with. I opened up to people who only know me at work and found that they were pretty fun. So that was my lesson for the year.
We went to an outdoor mall our last night in town and had fun just walking around and checking out all the stuff we would buy if we were rich. I did find the perfect pair of black shoes. Richard will learn some day that you never have enough shoes. Anyway they were on sale and were calling my name (they were whispering SOPHIA buy me) what was a girl to do?????? I didn't make it to the local scrapbook store though. I have yet to go and am making it a priority next time I go to San Antonio.
