Yes I Am Alive

It has been over a month since I last blogged. Yikes time goes way too fast! A lot of things have transpired since then. I moved, went to Prom, attended a few graduations, finished level one of support group, worked, worked some more, went to a few soccer games and saw a couple of movies.
I am all moved in to my new place, pretty much settled just have a few more pictures to hang. It is really nice and quiet here and it is so nice to have an attached garage. I am sure I will really appreciate it this winter. Not all the townhouses are inhabited yet but I think they all spoken for. I am expecting a neighbor this weekend. I am anxious for the weather to straighten up and the sod to be put down so that maybe I can get out and meet a few of my neighbors. I have still been looking for a puppy but I am waiting until I have grass. Not so much in favor of potty training in the mud. I was so excited, I was able to get some of my perennials from the house and got them planted. My bleeding heart was looking kind of sad but it is really perking up. I am really hoping that the day lily will at least bloom. My sister brought me a really nice pot of flowers but I have several pots I want to fill yet. Once they get done with the landscaping I will be able to plant some more. That makes me so happy. I have an extra bedroom now with a very nice bed in it so I do expect some visitors this summer.
The Prom- well it really wasn't a Prom it was an interactive play called 80's Prom Night at Who Dunnit High. I few of my friends and I dressed up in formals and had a really good time. They gave us all name tags with funny names. I was Dolly Llama. My friends were Frieda Gough, Faye Slift, Ella Vader and gosh, I cannot remember Karleen's name. Bill Fold sat at out table too. If you ever get a chance to go to an interactive play, go it is so much fun. I have never been to Tony and Tina's Wedding, that is probably the most well known interactive play.
At the beginning of the year I thought I would not have any graduations this year. Not true. As time marches on I must be in denial about how old I am because I had four! The 10th I traveled down to Randolph for Moriah Lindemoen's and Luke Borst's graduation. Graduation ceremony's in small towns are so much more enjoyable to attend. They are very personal and everyone knows most of the kids. I was very surprised that I found myself tearing up as I watched Moriah walk in all grown up, happy and proud. I remember the day she was born like it was yesterday, I held a baby shower in her honor, I just could not believe she is moving on to the next new and exciting stage in her life. Last weekend was my Great Niece Stacy's graduation. She had a beautiful day for it. My sister and I brought my Mom,it is always good to get her out for awhile. Stacy looked so pretty and I know she is looking forward to everything that lays ahead. We did not go to Commencement, in larger schools it is not personal at all and even the parents sometimes wish it to hurry up and get over. This coming weekend is my sister's step daughter Maddie;s. She had the most beautiful announcements. How much more creative they are these days. You rarely see the formal graduation announcements even my own kids had.
Support group is over until fall when I will go back for level 2, although I will continue spending time with the friends I made through it. We have a Canaries and a Storm game planned in June and we are looking forward to the Jazz Fest in July. We can always seem to find something to do. Last Friday night I was just about ready to go to bed when I got a call to go to a late movie. I did not get home that night until 1:30. Now that is late for me.
Kylee and Austen are finished with soccer. It was not the best spring for soccer. Even most of the make up games got rained or snowed out. Austen, despite the short season really improved this season. He scored one goal and had shots at several others but at age eight he still has not quite got all the control he needs. At this age it starts getting really fun to watch, they are starting to figure out positions but still tend to all go where the ball is. Kylee and her little teammates are just having fun. At 6 years old they do not really play positions, there is no goalie so the score really doesn't matter it is about learning and getting used to kicking the ball around. They are so cute and I have noticed that girls are sometimes more aggressive then boys. She started T-ball practice this week so I have those games to look forward to.
So now that I have caught up.... I need to finish packing because on Sunday morning it is off to Vegas Baby!
