wow it's been a long time

I can't seem to write anything and yet I can't seem to let this space go.  One of my long-time blogger friends seems to have reignited her passion for writing and it sparked something in me as well.

Where did I leave off?


Time is, of course, just flying by.  My kiddos are hardly kids anymore.  Young adults more like.  Young adults with lives of their own.  Who am I to intrude and reveal their secrets?  But this blog is about me, and my kids are part of me, so I think they'll just have to suck it up.

The oldest has graduated from the University of Oregon and is now getting his masters in Arizona.  He's a good kid.  He finally took a liking to school, and it has rewarded him. The possibilities are endless.

The middle got married! I know, crazy, right?!  I am learning to figure out how to deal with a kid who's left the nest to truly start their own life.  No pictures - will have to work on that.

The youngest, well, two more years of high school for him.  He's crazy tall, just like his brothers.  It's interesting though, he's so different.

I got to take a few trips to the UK, see a castle or two.

 We even got to play some rounds in Scotland - the St. Andrews Castle Course!

We enjoyed a family trip to Hawaii.

Waimea Falls - and look, they're all smiling!

Crazy kids

This year was a biggie - such a milestone.

I ended one chapter...  
                      

And started a new...

And I still have my wonderful, loving, attentive, guy.  Who could ask for anything more.

All the while still finding the beauty around me.
