It's been awhile...

I'm not sure if it is from the holidays, the freezing cold weather, the lack of a husband around the house, or the 13 page list of "to do's" I have going on, but I have been a huge slacker with the whole blog thing.  

Our holidays were great.  We had a wonderful Christmas and a pretty insignificant New Year's.  We have been trying to survive the cold and snow.  Spring were are you?  Oh yeah, four months away.

We started the remodel on our bathroom, and the room by room clean of the house so we can get it on the market.  Oh, what a headache.  Yet in the midst of all the chaos, we have still managed to have a little fun with the friends.  Today was a nice day, low 20's, and sunshine.  The kids and I went tubing with the girls today and had a lot of fun.  Probably too much.  It is fun to get out and feel like a kid again.  Even though I make a complete idiot of myself.  With all that we have going on right now as our time here in Michigan winds down I occasionally get flooded with feelings of sadness to be leaving the place we finally call home.  The family we have made here with all of our dear friends.  I hope that when we move I will be as fortunate to find friends who come close to comparing to those I have made here.  Sorry to my fellow readers who are being subject to this tribute to my friends.  I love you girls!!!!!

I will try to do better at posting more often, but until then enjoy the pics.
