Loooooooooong time, no blog...

Things that have happened since my last post (in no particular order):

~Cammie-Lou-Who turned 7. I cannot believe my baby is 7. Sad. Scary. Exciting. Sad. Scary.

~Marks Grandma passed away. We went to Morristown for the funeral. I learned how to say the word "You'uns" in a sentence, got fried in a circa 1992 tanning bed, drank an unsweet tea handed to me by a woman with three teeth, read a book and ate at Golden Corral...twice. And I fell in love.

~I am now the mother of a 2nd grader, a 3rd grader, a 4th grader, an 8th grader (*sniff, sniff, tear) and...........an 11th grader (dear Jesus in heaven, how did this happen?!?!?!?!)

~My sister and her lovely husband informed me that I will be an aunt in February. YAY! YAY! YAY!

~I fell in love with a baby named Miles. I want to gobble him up. But his mommy would disapprove. So I will settle with kissing his fat little cheeks raw.

~We took a spur of the moment trip with the kids to Hot-lanta. We toured the Coca~Cola museum...super cool. Forrest made friends with the Polar bear. I fell in love with Ikea.

~Craigslist became my friend. I sold Chloe's Gator, a big screen floor model TV and the Pottery Barn Play kitchen. I am addicted. I am also looking around my house for things to sell. My children are scared that they are next.

~I have made 7 trips to the Goodwill to drop off tons and tons and tons and tons of CRAP!!!

~I have witnessed a miracle. My mother-in-law recovered some of her lost kidney function...which means that she can forgo dialysis for a few more months. THANK YOU JESUS!

~We made some monumental-life changing decisions...that I will disclose later :)

~We are contemplating another monumental-life changing decision...that may or may not be disclosed later.

~I ate sushi with a girlfriend and it was yummy.

~Mark's role at work changed and he is loving it.

~I missed someone terribly.

~My papaw died...and I am still not ready to write about it.

~Someone told me that I was a good friend and I felt like I had won the lottery.

~Two of my girls got glasses.

~My boy is officially 6 inches taller than me.

~I read several books, cleaned out closets, cleaned out drawers, cleaned out the garage, and felt better!

~Hit a rough patch and kept going.

~I was blessed beyond measure.
