It has been quite awhile since you and I have broke bread and chatted. So, here I am. So much has happened since my last post.
1. I am still in school. It feels like I will be studying forever. Chemistry is a bear but I will survive. I'm spending (almost) every waking minute studying elements, +/- charges, chemical formulas, balancing, looking for moles, - good lord - who knew there were moles in Chemistry, lol!! It will be worth it in the end. Hard work pays off, right?
2. Barry graduated from CSU about a little over a year ago (I think). He was offered a promotion at Delta Airlines, which was well deserved. When he comes home, he will occasionally tell me about his day. He sounds like a caring boss, but one that expects you to rise to your potential and give your best. Two good qualities to have when you are the leader. He recently took a vacation day to stay home and smoke a ton bbq for his 70+ employees. My kitchen (from where he brought it in to chop and wrap it) smelled like bbq Boston Butt for days, lol.
2. The most wonderful thing has happened to the White House! A beautiful precious angel has arrived; Liliana Noel. Lisa and David had a baby girl in January (six months ago). She brings such joy, laughter, and happiness to everyone in the family. An absolute gift from God above. Her bright blue eyes, and quick little grin lights up the room. And that head FULL (did I say full?) of black hair brings such laughter at times, because there isn't much you can do with it at that age. Noni loves snuggle time.
3. Brian has one semester this Fall (2011) to complete his Senior year. He is now working at Wal-Mart and was offered a promotion after one week. I am proud of his work ethic. His previous boss couldn't stop bragging about how he always gives 110% of whatever he is asked to do. Now, if we could just focus a little of that drive on a neat and tidy teenage boys room, I would be so delighted. lol
4. David is working at Delta, preparing to attend college (and work) in January 2012. Lisa just transferred to Georgia Perimeter given they have multiple locations on the north and south sides of the perimeter.

If there is anything I want to leave with my children, it's ~ the drive to further your education, give every effort to being the best at whatever you are set out to do (school, work, etc..), and remember that Jesus not only became a sacrifice for our soul, but He is also a friend that wants to walk and talk with you. ~

So there you have it. My blog and I have been reacquainted - updated - reconnected...life is progressing with a hectic pace but a pleasant aroma. Dare I say "life couldn't be better." Nah, there is always room for improvement and change. But we'll work on that one day at a time. As long as I have Jesus as my savior, my friend, companion, and leader through the journey, then I will keep trudging along.
Much love
