Shady Nook Lane
We have found a cute little house for sale in a small town in North Florida. I love the street name, Shady Nook Lane.. it sounds so cozy. We put in a bid on several homes.. keep your fingers crossed that we get the right one!

Going Home

We have decided that ten years in Alaska is long enough and we are ready to go home. Home being Florida. We are looking to find a place in North Florida where most of our family is. If anyone sees a great deal on a home let us know! We are looking.

 

PS Happy Ground Hogs Day!

Happy New Year!

Hope everyone has a prosperous and happy New Year!

The best is yet to come

Bye Bye Freddies
Well I finally gave my notice at Fred Meyer. I have been working there for five years and I decided it was time to move on. I have several opportunities I want to persue from home and I really just want to spend more time with the kids :)

Home Sick

I NEVER take days off sick. As a matter of fact for the last three weeks that I have been at work I have either had a cold or sore throat, but as long as I think I can work productivey and keep my germs to myself..I go in.

I went in to work yesterday and when I went to speak to my supervisor I realized I didn't have a voice at all! So they sent me home. Today I got up to say hello to Woody dog (to see if i had a voice) and it came out more like a "honk" kinda sounded like a goose. So I texted Cliff and had him call in for me as I don't think they would have been able to understand me.

It is hard to be home and not up running around doing things, but I know the whole point of staying home is resting.

Happy 18th Birthday Cody
It is hard to believe my baby turned 18 years old! We had the family over for pizza and cake. We had a really nice time getting everyone together. We had thought about a cook out but it is threatening snow already! The mountains are white and our temperatures dipping in thirties... brrrr

Back on dry land

We had a great time on our cruise. I still feel like I am moving though. I guess it is called land sickness. The ground keeps moving! The seas were rough, but I did fine on the cruise.

We are off to Dixie County for a few days to be with Mom and Dad as that is where they have settled in. If anyone wants there mailing address there, just drop me a line and I can get it for you.

It will be good to see all of the family and friends in that neck of the woods for a few days. Maybe we can get everyone together to play some music :)

Hurricane Ike

It has been a hectic few days. We drove down to New Port Richey and met up with as many friends and family members as we could yesterday. It was great to see everyone and I didn't want to leave as there were so many people we didn't get to see. We really just need to move back home!

We are off to chase Hurricane Ike in the morning, Cliff and I, Crystal and Ivo off on an adventure for a week! i will not have internet or cell phone connection. I am not sure how I will survive!

Back to Ocala

Dad is doing pretty good. He is settled in at Steve's house for now. Still no word from the VA on when he will start physical therapy. Hopefully they get the ball rolling soon or Mom and Dad will just head back to Cross City as the VA there said they have openings for him to be seen.

I leave today to meet Cliff in Florida for our pre-planned vacation. We are celebrating 20 years of marraige and taking a cruise.
