Some Life Happened

Please overlook the date of my last post.  You will also need to overlook the snow pictures.
And in the spirit of forgiveness, please overlook my lack of motivation to blog.  My apologies to the few faithful readers.

All is well with us.  A lot happens in a year and a half.
Let me hit the highlights:
Sometime in the spring, we thought we were going to have to move to a new house.  We prepared to move, but then we did not have to move.  No stress there (insert eye roll).

The Boy started his first year of high school, finished his first year of high school, started his Sophomore year of high school, and started driving.  Lord.  Have.  Mercy.  I could stop here, and most of you would not only forgive me, but you might send me a spa gift certificate.

Dan/Daddy finished one job, started another job, got a promotion, and started school.

We took a few family trips.

We survived the Winter of 2015.  I love snow, but I even got tired of it.

I lived through two summers.  If you know me and my hatred of all things hot weather, you know this is a big deal.

The boy played a lot of soccer.  He even joined a new team.  A team not close to home.

We went to a lot of soccer games.  More than I can count.

We spent a lot of time in the car.

We celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays.

We tried to see our families as much as we could.  It always feels like it's never enough.

Some of us gained a few pounds, a few wrinkles, and a pair of reading glasses. 

Some of us grew a few inches and gained some muscles.  Oh to be 16 again.

In other words, life happened.  I have missed you all.

There was no good reason to take a long break from blog writing.  I tend to be a procrastinator, and I once read procrastination is proof of perfectionism.  So let's just all say I was perfecting my perfectionism.  By procrastinating.
