Yes...I am still alive!

Suprize, suprize, suprize I am back. Dear darling Daughter Annie....midst of motherhood told me to just start writing again about this day and happenings and not to try and catch up. So here I am but....I do have just a tiny bit of catching up to do..... We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at our house on Lido Circle. We had alot of friends come over to eat and to stop by later for deserts. It was a wonderful day and the children had a blast on the back porch. We had Mom over and she seemed to enjoy herself with all the hustle and bustle there. Then Christmas came and we love this season. Every year Ed my darling Hubby puts all of his things out for a wonderful display. This year he out did himself and the yard was just...magical. Maddie and Wyatt loved coming over to play with Papa's outside toy land. Maddie and I played the same game each evening where she was the little lost girl in the forest of lights. She has such an incredible imagination. It was a truely wonderful season filled with a few parties, a cookie exchange and Annie's 30th birthday party. We just love December! Yes...hold those nice and warm cozy thoughts.....Then on the 26th of December, yes the day after Christmas we started the move to 343 Oaklake lane, one street over from Lido. I am sure we are getting older but I tell you this move took like 2 weeks and we are just now getting over being so tired! Yes, the Nuffer's just love taking their furniture on a site seeing tour and short stays of the Bluewater area. NOT! Anyway we hope to be able to stay here for a while. This house is not in foreclosure and the owner is out of the country indefinately! Music to our ears..... On Jan 14th, 2009 of this year Ed and I celebrated our 31st anniversary. It was a wonderfully quiet day and a time to reflect and remember together some great times we have had. Rachel treated us to dinner at the Cracker Barrel with her thoughtful gift card...Thank you Rachel! I am volunteering every Thursday at our counseling center at the church. I work with a LMHC named Theresa, she calls me her secretary. I am doing her billing for her to the major Ins companies. It has been a real learning experience for me. I still continue to cope each day with the Fibromyalgia. Some days are good and some days are bad and some days are really, really bad. The cold weather we have been having altely has been pretty hard on me. I try not to complain and just walk really stiff legged most of the time. Everything is in God's plan so I try not to worry...too much. We are all in this together....good, bad or indifferent we are all going to get thru this time in our countries being together. I love you all and thanks for reading about this ole Momma's girl! Dear God, Thank you for the pain we have in our lives, because the pain helps us to really, really appreciate the good times and the pain free days!
