Transitions

OK so I don't write much....Guilty as charged Jay!!! I found the following in my blog drafts. I at least thought I had posted part of it

Written in June :
Okay...its been way too long since I have written/blogged. Seems like everytime I would think about posting- something would delay it...then I had major computer problems and my Toy got to go to the computer hospital for two weeks....AJ took very good care of it and voila here we are back on line!!



I've been thinking for some time that our family has had a time of transition with all the BIRTHDAYS, GRADUATIONS and MOVES...celebrated and or endured over this past few months.



It started in December when Carol GRADUATION with her Master's Degree. She's done the difficult work of jobhunting...found a great job in her field, MOVED into a cute house in Fresno and is settling into her career with the USDA!!



About the same time Mike finished his year probation with the CHP and has settled into a 12 hour shift routine that he seems to like. Even though its weekends for now he can still spend good time with his family... Brooklyn, growing by leaps and bounds, turned 2 on the 25th of June. Sydney will start 4th grade this fall and will be 10 at the end of August.They have just MOVED to a larger house!!



Then in January Jay and Susie MOVED!! After a long stint in the desert, a short visit here, and the hastle of movers and houseclearing, they drove clear across the country to Virginia to a beautiful LARGE house waiting (due to careful planning!!) for them!!



March brought leave and a long visit west for Jason and Sarah and kids. It was great to have them here for a couple of weeks and to meet Alex who is wonderful!!! Connor and Miriam are sooo cute and growing way too fast.

ALSO three BIRTHDAYS..Jason, Sarah and Connor!!



March also took us to Texas for Dave's GRADUATION...Doctor of Physical Therapy!!! We took a belated present for Amy's BIRTHDAY Mar 10th.

We really enjoyed seeing parts of San Antonio this time there with them. It was fun to have Howard and Linda there too for such a grand celebration.Next for them was a MOVE from San Anton to Virginia. Amazingly they live very close to Jay and Susie and have been able to spend weekends and short trips together!!!



April also brought a wonderful BIRTHDAY celebration for me!!! Imagine turning 60!! Bob planned a wonderful surprise party with my best friend Marianna. The Alpine Inn and the food were great. So many people came from far and wide. Thankyou to all of you!! My sister Patti and her friend Steve stayed for a week and I got to be tour guide for Point Loma and Torrey Pines trips.

So the transitions continue.....
