November

I can't believe we're almost into December! November flew by! We have settled into fall activities with the kids. Michaela is getting much better with each class for Irish dancing. Michael has taken a liking to basketball and cub scouts!! He earned his very first patch!! Madison and I enjoy the YMCA and all that it has to offer!!



One of out November highlights was the tree lighting at Legacy Village. It has become a tradition of ours! This year turned out to be the biggest turn out! They enjoyed the marching bands followed by the Santa parade. They had plenty to tell Santa!



Thanksgiving eve I got to go out with the girls. I had LOTS of fun!!

i heart fall!

Living in Ohio has it's con's but has it's perks too! It's absolutely beautiful when the leaves start changing. Fall always puts me in the mood for good cooking, good coffee and warm sweater with ugg boots. Last night after dinner the kids and i went on a "fall walk" picked up a million buckeyes to make a OSU necklace! At bedtime read "the bumpy pumpkin" this weekend im look forward to going pumpkin picking!

looking back

I had this big grand plan when my hubby left for the army!! TO STAY BUSY!! I thought the more activities we were involved in the better..I wanted to do things I've been wanting to do..well things changed. I tend to run myself down all the time. Everyday i ran into fighting depression over the situation of my husband being gone..trying to wrap my head around being alone. It's one thing to be alone because you or the other person aren't in love anymore but when your crazy in love with each other, the minutes go by like hours. Besides the marriage and the birth of our beautiful children seeing mike graduate from basic training was exciting, emotional, and a little awkward!! One of the best moments for our family!! He changed a lot and it was a lot to take in, in one day with him. It was a very sad farewell. AIT turned out to be better. we talk every night and have even managed getting frustrated and have fought.. So now i know, yes you still can fight a 1000 miles apart!! crazy!! The end of may i cried for a few days considering taking Michael out of private school..We have issues we need to address and is hoping public schooling will be the answer..hoping!! I will truly miss his school but i will not miss washing navy blue pants and light blue shirts!! He's very excited about wearing jeans and crocs to school!! also i forgot to add, their going to the school i went to when i was little.. it was an excellent school then and still is!!

Like every Ohioan we're always sad to see summer go but this year i want it gone!! I fly out to San Antonio for a week and to finally bring my love home!!
