Adasen and I had a playdate today with one of my best friends from H.S. It is still hard for me to believe that we have kids!! I still feel like I'm in H.S.! Time passes so quickly!

Yesterday I got a call that one of my neighbors had complained about me hanging clothes outside on a line...I was so mad! Ever since we moved in our dryer has not worked properly so finally I was tired of complaining and decided to just hang my clothes outside. Well, since I stopped complaining to them I guess someone else had to. :o/ Oh well. I was really liking it to! I felt like I was doing something good for the environment (and our wallet) by not using the dryer so much. It was taking 3 times for each load of clothes I was doing! So we'll see if they 'fixed' it this time around.

Nana and her grandbabies (minus Aubrie).

My Mom had a great birthday yesterday. Aaron (my brother) took her out to eat at her favorite restuarant, Jose Peppers. And after church last night Norma(friend from church) had our family over and a few of my Mom's friends. It certainly took some of the pain away from her first birthday without my Dad. Thank you to all who made it so special for her!

Wow! It's been awhile since I started this blog so I better get busy actually using it. I started this blog to just keep everyone in the family (and friends of course) informed about the details and just random thoughts of Zach and I. Every now and then I want to just post kinda random things that are on our minds (Zach and me). :o)



Since the last post God has granted me more comfort, but I'm still not there. I don't know where 'there' is, but I know God knows and that's all that matters. I still miss my Dad terribly, but I can feel some of the grief lifting. I don't think it will ever be gone, because my Dad will never be with me again in the physical world. That is just a very huge concept for me as a human to understand. I know I'll see him in Heaven one day, but it will be different.



Adasen is growing like a weed. He surprises Zach and me everyday with something new he has learned!! He is such a sponge! I just love how he plays and interacts with others. He is very outgoing and has to say 'hi' (and wave) to everyone we pass in Wal-Mart...this is not an overstatement...trust me. :o) He loves to read, play outside, and clean! He definitely has part of me in him!



Zach is working two jobs (Costco and Quizno's) and going to school. He hopes to be done with his accounting degree in Spring 2011. I am still looking for a full-time teaching position but I enjoy substituting a couple days a week during the school year, since I can be at home with Adasen the rest of the week. God has truely blest Zach and me.
