Life is life

Ok it seems that no matter what I'm not very good at keeping up on the whole blogging thing.
So I guess it is what it is and that's that. I will post when I post, lol

This will just be a 9 month catch up blog. :)

My son's graduation went well back in May. My eldest and favorite Aunt made the trip from Cleveland for D's graduation. We enjoyed her being here for the day. WE had only been in our new house for 2 weeks when graduation day came so my house was obviously still a total wreck from unpacking. (I hate unpacking by the way) Instead of moving in with us my parent's chose to move to Arizona. So the morning after D graduated they was on the road but not until I made them a very large breakfast for a full tummy while traveling there 1st day on the road.

Two day's after D graduated my cousin's oldest graduated and his graduation party was right after his graduation. It was a beautiful and perfect day to be outside for his party. Can't believe these boy's are out of high school. Just doesn't seem possible.

Fast forward a month and we had a very busy 9 Day's! The last saturday of June we had our yearly family reunion. Then had to rush home cause had family coming in from out of state for my son's graduation party and our yearly camping trip.
Reunion we was pretty much stuck in my great aunt and uncle's garage due to rain. Apparently a bad storm hit my tiny town while we was there. The closer we got to home after the reunion the more tree limbs and tree's was down on the ground. My family from out of state got to my house before we did so luckily I left the door on locked for them. (I don't make it a habit of leaving my door's unlocked even though I do live in the country). When we got home it was a race to get the house clean and ready for the following day of company for D's graduation party. It turned out to be a very hot, humid and muggy day so since my grandparent's was going to be there I decided to have the party indoors in the a/c. I didnt want grandma and grandpa getting over heated since they are in there late 80's. And I think everyone else appreciated that to. The party was perfect Except for the fact that my parent's and sister and her family wasn't there. Originally the plan was that I was going to buy the plane ticket's to fly my sis, bro n law and there 4 children out but I didn't realize how expensive it would be to fly all 6 of them out here so that didn't happen. Will get them out here another time. :(

Normally we would've been leaving for our camping trip that day as we always do the Sunday before the 4th of July. But unfortunately for us I waited to long to make our reservation's. We ended up pitching our tent onto my baby cousin's camp site. They don't go for the whole week like we do so that gave us a couple of day's to hang at the pool and not have to rush to get all the camping gear together. But I made sure we had our reservation's for this year before we left the campgrounds last year. Camping was fun as it alway's is every year!! Am excited for this year's camping trip though cause I picked one of the few tent site's that are in front of the swimming lake. The only trick will be trying to keep my sweet fur baby out of the lake cause she love's swimming......

A month after camping D got his first job. It is close enough for him to walk to work, but not in these frigid temp's. I'm peeling myself out of bed early and taking him to work. can't wait for Spring to get here so he can walk to work though. :-/ He is still working there and helping his momma with bill's for awhile. But he need's to start looking into college. The past 9 month's has gone by so quickly. Went to cleveland for Christmas and got into mischief with my favorite bestie cousin. Alway's enjoy my time with her!

Future plan's are now in the work's. Yearly camping trip. Long weekend for me in the fall to take a road trip to the DC area to see my best friend from high school. And hoping to go to Cali the 1st week of August if D can get out of work for a week so we can go see my sis and family.

And I am working on starting a project to make money on the side to make extra money on the side. Hopefully this pan's out the way I want. But I will post a seperate post for that. I need to get off of here now. Hope everyone has a good week. stay warm it's gonna be another cold freezing week. Laterssss
