Long time, no blog!

Hello!

Well as you can see, it has been a while since my last post. My apologies! As things in life go, there just never is enough time to do all you want to do. Also, things with life in general have been kind of sucky since January.

To catch you up to date:

January, there were massive lay offs at my work. Some were done that day, others in my area had until May, some had until June. Well, as things went, everyone that was to go in June were bumped up to the end of May, so last Friday was everyone's last day. Many of my friends lost their jobs, and I am sad.

April brought Joe's 40th birthday. We had a family dinner at Famous Dave's with both sets of our parents, his sister and her family, his Aunt Becky, and an old friend Dan. It was not really a surprise as his schedule is so screwy, but I did have a few surprises up my sleeve. I did bring in a wad of balloons, as well as a birthday cake, and a lovely hat for him to wear. He was a great sport!

May brought my birthday. As I stated above, my day fell within the week everyone was done at work. Aside from that, I received news on my birthday that an old friend I used to work with many years ago was in the hospital and on life support. Last Friday, she passed away. She was a great lady, and a wonderful friend. She will be greatly missed.

So....here we are in June. Weather is great, the pool is open, and summer is just about here...Woooooohoooooo!! Joe and I are trying to figure out when and where to go on vacation. He has never been to Texas or Massachuettes, or even Maine. Yet we would love to go back to Vegas again, and go spend more time at the Grand Canyon. Who knows, but whatever we do, it will be great as we will be enjoying it together.

Well, I should go for now. I will post some pictures soon from Joe's birthday, as well as some other photos I have.

Until next time....

TTFN :)
