Fall is going to be exciting around here! I always loved Fall. I love the color changes and the welcome of cooler weather after a hot summer. This Fall for our family will be exciting. We are building our "Nest" (house) which is long over due. Most birds fly South for the winter but we are heading North. Our house will be in Howell MI. It's a really nice town to raise our girls and I hope our family will be very happy there for years. Being in Toledo away from family and friends has been hard but I am excited and determined to make great friends in my new neighborhood. This short year here in this neighborhood seemed like forever. The "nest" will be done at the end of November. I can already see where the Christmas Tree is going to be...I actually got excited today just thinking "I finally have my fireplace that my kids stockings can hang from every year". It's funny the silly things that make you happy after living in Military housing for so many years and having your home change every 3-4 years. (in some cases ever less then that) I will make sure we have a big house party to make sure you all know you are always welcome at our home!
Larry's Birthday is next week. He will hit his big "40" even if he wont admit to it! He seems to be one who doesn't want to celebrate it too much. Me on the other hand. I turn 40 three weeks later and I am all about celebrating. LOL I don't mind at all that I am 40. I will also be in Hawaii so that may help too. The sun on my skin and a drink with a tiny umbrella will certainly help. :-) I get to spend some time with good friends and that is greatly missed. Patience and Melissa better watch out..we are going to have some fun. :-)
Abby and Chloe are great. Abby is in 4th grade and doing so good. She is so smart and I am so grateful for that. Chloe is home with me for a few months. She will go into preschool again as soon as we get into the new house. I didn't want to put her in one here for 2-3 months and then move her to another in November so we just put it all on hold. She just turned 4 this summer and she went last year too so I think she will survive.
Matt has recently moved back home for a few months. He is looking for work here in Toledo and then his girlfriend and him will be moving out together when we move to the new house. At least that is the plan. It can be trying at times because our views on thing are so much more different then the kids these days but I am biting my tongue. He will have his own place and responsibilities one day and will look back and realize the mistakes he made just like we all have. That's the good thing in life, we are all human and we all make mistakes.
I want to send good wishes to everyone and let you all know I am thinking of all my friends out there. Lots of love ...
