Let's try that AGAIN.

Ok, so apparently I'm pretty bad at blogging. Or was. I stopped. For a good year...so it's not even like I can pass it off as "taking a break"....But I'm back, and I'm going to try to keep up this time.

As you can probably guess, things have happened in the last year...like quite a bit!

Let's see, starting last summer and working our way through...

*I went to Memphis! Mama vaca to see my best friend and college roommate...it was great!
*At the start of the school year, we became youth leaders at our church -we lovee it!
*In September, Jon took a job with Flemington Car and Truck Co. (Need a Chevy, Buick or GMC? Call him!)
*In October, we had a hugeeee snow storm and lost electricity for about a week (including halloween)! Thankfully, Jon's sister had power, and we were able to stay with her.
*Addison turned ONE in Nov, she is the happiest little chunk...love her!
*In December took a job as a CNA at a local hospital, found that I absolutely hated it (not even exaggerating!), tryed to stick it out but ultimately, left in April. -And I don't miss it at all!
*Of course, Christmas happened...and New Years. (As they usually do)
*Sweet Bella turned 3 (going on 30) in February, and is completely convinced she is a princess. Why crush her dream? If she's a princess, I'm a queen..fine by me! :o)
*Jon also had a bday in Feb, and he became old. (He's four years my senior, so I can say that!)
*We broke ground on our first ever summer garden! We have wonderful tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, green beans, honey dew, cantalope, peas, carrots, strawberries, basil, oregano, lettuce, spinach, onions, watermelon, eggplant, corn, swiss chard, and sweet potatoes. Delish! And lots of fun to work on/watch grow!
* My first baby brother (IE the middle child) got married to a great girl! (and Bella was a flower girl who took her job very seriously!)
*My second baby brother (the real baby) graduated high school -still not sure when he grew up?
*My best friend and college roommate (Yes- Memphis girl) came to see me for Memorial Day (sooo much fun!)
*Jon is taking classes at Liberty again (online) -soo sooooo proud of him! He is going for his dream, and following God's calling on his life. Love that man!
*My grandmother on my mom's side passed away in June and we went to NY for the funeral. Good to see family -not good circumstances.
*We spent the 4th in Ocean City (NJ!) and enjoyed a parade, bbq, the pool, and of course fireworks on the beach!
*I decided to go to hair school, and start at Paul Mitchell in September (beyond excitedddd!).

So, there's our year in a nutshell.  It's been fun...and busy, and a full of learning experiences. PTL!

Here's to hoping it's not another year before I blog again! (Just kidding!)
