Big news!!!

I had a dream about six weeks ago. I heard a voice, and I woke up knowing that we were supposed to move back to my home state. I shared the news with Hubby. He wanted to start packing!

I had a similar dream back in 2001. Not so much a dream really, but, I swear to God, I heard a voice - clear as anything - telling me that I had to move to change my life. As a single girl on the brink of turning 29, I sold my house, found a job, and moved to the Midwest where I knew exactly three people.

Over the past 7+ years, a lot has happened. I married the love of my life. We bought a home. We had our beautiful girl. We bought a minivan. I had three different career opportunities - each one better than the last but for different reasons. I grew up - well, as much as someone with my personality can mature.

Yesterday I accepted a job offer back in my home state, and we are leaving in a few weeks! Hubby and I are thrilled. Boo needs a lot of love and convincing. Let the good times roll...

This Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day was like no other. Hubby and I went to a funeral. The departed - an adorable 26-year-old young woman from my former office. She wasn't full of potential - she was living up to her potential. At 26, she had a wonderful marriage to her high school sweetheart, countless friends & family who loved her dearly, and a successful career. Her service was a fitting tribute - lots of tears for the beautiful girl gone too soon, lots of laughter celebrating the full life she lived. Good Bless you, AJR. You will be missed.

Boo's New Haircut

She wanted to look like mommy, and asked me to cut her hair. Since she got a headstart by cutting a chunk off at Grandma's house on Friday night (don't get me started...), I went ahead and did it. It's quite possibly crooked, but she LOVES it. I took off about 4 inches which is the most substantial haircut she's had since birth.
