September

September is the beginning of Fall. Here the weather is changing, must like the seasons of my life. What has changed since the last time I wrote, was that I am no longer in Graduate school. I decided to drop out, and it was a decision I struggled with, that ultimately worked out for the best. I really didn't know what to do with myself, but realized that life continues and there would be things that I could start, new beginnings that would arise.

My children have started school Gracie started Kindergarden, Andy started 2nd Grade, and Kyle started 9th grade. They love school and are doing so well. It's a blessing to be a part of their lives. The girls are beginning a Dance/Baton twirling class next week, and Kyle started ROTC. He looks spiffy in his uniform.

Peter has become more involved with the Fraternity, and designed Bid Day tee shirts for this Fall class. He also sponsored the American Heart Association party with a band called The Incredible Heat Machine, that will take place the 24th. We hope this will go well, and maybe we will do another one.

We are still hoping to move to Washington. I googled federal Way for the first time the other day. I can't believe how beautiful it is out there. Rainy, but the trees are so huge, and it's near a large state park that connects to the Sound. How romantic is that! I just had a dream the other night about Mt Ranier too. That is a first. I still don't know how this will be possible, but spontaneous I believe, that we will have to leave much behind and start our life over new. I am looking for jobs, and have already set up a list of potential places that I can scope out. The next step is compiling a list, and actually checking out their locations on google.

Today, I have to work, and I'm working overtime to get extra money to help us through. Tjis month has sped along pretty fast.

The Moment

I just lost an entire post that I took about 20 minutes to write. I am tired, so I'll have to come back again. Life is going along, as it should. I was risky in purchacing reduced items at a boutique for resale. I still don't know how it will turn out. I'm hoping that it will be suscessful, then I will try it again. I aslo purchaced fabric, to go back and make apron tops for Bonnaroo. I love making them, even though my handmade items on Etsy haven't caught on. I keep believing in myself. I also continue to take my classes, which I still have another year left. Right now I'm taking Ethics, which is a good class because there are many things we learn in class that I can practice at work. I really like the change in my work schedule, back to where it was, because I can spend my time with my family three days a week. That is the best part of my life is being home with them.
