Okay so yeah....I suck! I know I haven't done any of this since January. But life is busy with these 2 girls, that's for sure. Work has been busy, just all around crazy.
It's now June 8th. I leave for California in 2 weeks...I can't stinkin' believe it. She is calling me home. I love it. The thought of being able to see my family everyday excites me, thrills me..I have no words for it.
I will living with my bestest friend in the whole wide world...MEGAN! I can't wait. I can't wait to see her beautiful children everyday. I want my girls to love them as much as I do. I can't wait to tell Jackson that I can see him everyday..not just on Thursdays!
Don't get me wrong though, Ohio has been good to me. I am in my last week of work at probably the most amazing company ever. McGohan Brabender has been so good to me. How many CEOs will come and visit you at the hospital after you have had emergency surgery? Mine did. How many companies care if you bring the kids in for a half a day? Mine doesn't care at all. They welcome the girls.
The people here have a heart of gold. They will do anything for you at the drop of a hat. You need help moving..I'll be there.
Best story about that is Jon Hlavac. I can't say anything bad about this guy. He came and helped my move into my new house in Miamisburg 5 years ago. While backing up the UHAUL, Tim smacked it right in the back of his car. I couldn't believe it. Tim felt SO bad!! But do you know what Jon did? He stayed and still helped us move. What an amazing person. Those are great friends. That's for sure.
So as I sit here listening to the people around me..I want to say Thank You.
Thank you for being great friends, family, and mentors. Not just to me, but to my children. You have taken Abigail and Claudia in as your own. I know if anything was to happen to me, you would be there to just step right in.
We love you.
My next one will be from California...So I need to think of a new title....what should it be.

Since Thankgiving
I know I know..I am not good at this. But I sure have a lot going on . Since Thanksgiving, life has been crazy. I am coaching basketball for Claudia! Yes coaching again. Boy do I love it! We are having a great season. I love when the girls get the ball and are smiling down the court while dribbling its great!
Christmas was great. Santa brought a wii..it is amazing. Have you played this? It's great! so that is very time consuming.
So the big news is that we are moving to California. it's time to go. I'm ready. The girls are ready. The girls are I are going first then Tim. We are moving back to Vacaville. I went to high school here. A big chunk of my family still live there. It's been weighing on my heart for so long. So when school is over here in June we will be making the Cross country trek there. Yes it's a big change, and yes I know that people are going to be different then when I was there last time. But my family is still family, and my friends have been my friends since I was 14. So I am so ready.
Talking about friends. The best thing to happen is that I have found my long lost best friend. So I have facebook and I have been looking for my friend (Aaron Michael Flynn, i love using his whole name) for over 10 years. We were inseparable. He moved away and we lost contact. I tried every outlet. Facebook, myspace, people search. I have looked people up and thinking they were him and even called. No luck. I was driving to Cincinnati on Saturday January 17.. across my phone comes a text from facebook saying someone wants to be my friend..it was aaron. I had to pull over because I was crying so much. What a sap!
So Sunday morning. we started talking on line..I said just call me!! it will be easier to catch up. and boy did we! He married his high school sweetheart and has 2 beautiful boys Dylan and Ethan. They are the same ages as the girls!! What blows my mind is that he has been living only 8 hours away from me in Traverse City, Michigan for about 6 years! What?!?!? we have been a days drive away for that long? Oh well. Today is the present. The girls and I are going to go visit his family in May for Memorial Day! I can't wait. The girls are excited. Aaron said his boys are excited. I can't wait to meet his beautiful wife Jenny. i am excited to see his mom and dad.
Aaron and I lived next door to each other and he was my best friend. He now again is my best friend.
It's funny that we haven't seen each other for 16 year (YIKES) and haven't talked in over 11 years and we were able to pick up from where we left off. So thank you Facebook and thank you Aaron for looking me up. Thank you Jenny for telling Aaron to look me up.
So that has been my life right now. I'm pretty excited where it is at and where it is going. we do have countdowns going on. One to see Aaron and one to go to Cali..
Sometimes life doesn't get better then this.

Thanksgiving
What to be thankful for.. So much..
That I have 2 girls that have so much energy, spunk, and love. Love not for only their family but the people that they are around.
That my office raised over $3000 for the Lucas Pfander scholarship fund, and that is being matched by an anonymous donor.
That Ohio State creamed Michigan to shreads today(thankful for that so Tim is in a great mood the rest of the weekend). 42-7 was the score...NICE!
That my husband is devoted to me and all of my crazy ideas (San Diego). He wants that just as much as me now.
That I can put aside the fact that the person that I wanted to be elected for president didn't get elected but knowing that I will support him because I love this country.
That I know that Beau will be home in January after a VERY long tour in Iraq, and then he will be done with the Marines. (but he will be a Marine always.)
Thankful for my friends and family back in California, Washington, and Massachusetts. My family is my life, and my friends are just as important as my family.
Thankful for life, and all it has to offer.

Don't have much to say..
Okay...I love other people's blogs. Mine, kinda sucks. I never have anything to say. Some people write about the coolest things. Me, my last entry was my best crack at it..Sometimes there is so much I want to say but I feel like I have to filter it. Someone at work might see it and think she shouldn't be talking about this. Or a family member might say..what I didn't think she was going to blog about that...I shouldn't have told here....
But then I think..you know what... What I am writing is important...to me. Writing about seeing my family and how much I loved it. Seeing a friend I haven't seen in 13 years..and neither of us changed..we look just the same!!! Walking down Main Street of Disneyland and having your 10 year old grab your hand and squeeze it, because she is SO excited to be there...but she has to stay cool..(turning into a tween). That is exciting to me.
That is what this is all about..at least for me. I want to share with what I think is exciting in my life. Like getting pulled over today on the way to Claudia's basketball practice(I coach)..and getting a warning...(going 12 over...should have got a ticket). that's exciting to me.
The thought of uprooting my family from all they have ever known and moving to California for a new adventure. That is exciting for all of us. (Thanks Dan for the weather updates)
What's exciting is that Jesus is in my household. Some days I don't want to get out of bed and go to church, but when you have an excited 7 year old who is dressed and ready...that's Jesus working through her. Thank you God for such loving children.
So thank for coming a reading my blog, and leaving a note. That means some one is checking. but I believe if no one reads this, this is my own little therapy session...and it was free.

And we are back
So my question to you is why does everything exciting take forever to get here, and when it's here it goes by so fast? I don't understand.
Let me just tell you what a wonderful time I had. Seeing family and friends. Some friends I haven't seen for 13 years. We all look the same. So that's a good thing. The girls had a great time with Grandma and Grandpa, and so did I. I realized how much I miss my parents and how much I still need them. One day I hope to move closer to them.
My cousin Megan got to escape for a couple of days, and I got to hang out with her. We went out a couple of times after bedtime, and just got to catch up. It was awesome.
My brother and sister-in-law came down. My niece Danielle came, and she loved peter pan. She looks so much like me, she could be mine. Brian went and got my oldest nephew Nathan for Tuesday. How awesome to talk and spend time with him. Watching him grow up and spending a couple of years with him, made me who I am today. Talking to him now is awesome. I am talking to an adult. An adult with his own ideas, thoughts, and choices to make in his own life. I am very proud of them.
Then I got to spend a wonderful vacation with the best 2 girls that God could have blessed me with. Watching Abigail and Claudia play and laugh and get excited when they saw Mickey Mouse or a princess was amazing. Abigail looked at things different this time, and she looked different. She is getting older and I am scared of that. I want her to be everything that I wasn't and nothing like I was. I like (kinda) who I am now, but I know she can do many things. Claudia still has the little girl smile with her. I love it, and I am going to try to capture that as much as I can.

This is the link to my flickr account. I dropped my camera day 1, so not many pictures. But I did get some disposible cameras, but have to get those developed. And my dad and megan will be sending me their pictures. So keep check the site.
God Bless You..and please.....VOTE on Tuesday!

So we are here..
And I grabbed the wrong cord for the digital camera! I can't believe it. I'm so mad at myself. So don't think there is going to be anything I can do. I know that I will be taking pictures. But after my card that is in the camera is full. Do I buy another card for my camera or do I go to and just buy disposable camera's? AHHHH. What do I do?!?!
At least the weather is beautiful..
