Where is summer?

It has been literally months since I've last posted on here. Summer officially ends and fall starts today. The entire month of July I was out of town at different places with Gabe and Andy joined me for part of the month. The first couple of weeks I was in North Carolina with my mom and sister and some family. We celebrated the 4th with extended family up on the mountain there. The following week I counseled for MTYC. My week was changed to about a month later than it has been the past years. I returned home on July 12th to do some major laundry and then our flight left Cleveland at 10:30am the next morning. Andy, Gabe, & I flew out to Denver, CO for a few weeks. Andy's parents, Becki, Danny, and the Nathan Morris family also all went too. It was Andy's maternal grandparent's 60th wedding anniversary celebration and a huge family reunion. I started back to work in August. And last but not least, we moved on Friday. It is a 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath house with a basement too. Very exciting! Very soon I will get some pictures of our past couple of months up on here.

Projects and news

During Gabe's nap time I am able to finally get some long awaited projects done. This is also due to not having extra things to do on my leave of absence from work. Things such as having already graduated this past month with my Master of Arts in Counseling also contributes as well. I now have my house totally clean, pictures up to date (including scrapbooks up to date), my garden outside in bloom, and actually could read books and feel good about it! I even have recently gone through "stuff" and had a yard sale and took the rest to goodwill. Lately I've gotten VERY good deals from craigslist.

Since my last post we've traveled down South 4 times... seems like a lot but they were necessary for the most part. I'll also be taking 3 more trips about the country before the end of July. Yikes! At least things are in order now because my laundry will be backed up by then ;)

Season of Change

It has been months, literally since I've had time to update this. Major things have happened and are yet to come. We have traveled far and near to visit relatives and friends since the holiday season. First off, it is my pleasure to announce that I am officially graduating for Liberty University with a Master of Arts in Human Services in Marriage and Family Counseling. I will be participating in the commencement ceremony on May 10. Secondly, and even more cool is that Andy and I are adopting a little guy! It is our joy to announce the arrival of Gabriel. He was born on November 27, 2006. And I will also add that he is such a cutie! He has already been living with us for some weeks now.
