Wow, I haven't really done much blogging in a while. I'm going to try to catch up a little bit, but it might be in multiple messages. I have been so busy, and last week I was far too stressed out to have any interest in blogging at all.

Brandon, my 16 year old son has a girlfriend for the very first time. It's cute, and I'm really happy for him. She's a lucky girl because he's such a sweet and kind boy. They are going on their first date to the movies this Friday. I am excited for him. It should be nice.

I have no more cats. I don't really want to talk or blog about it, but it's really strange not having pets, and it's really weighed heavy on me lately. I couldn't have even posted this last week. It was too hard. I had trouble sleeping, and I would even wake up in the middle of the night thinking about them. I still feel rather sick over it, but I don't feel as terrible as I did last week. I'm hoping that eventually I will be completely over the whole thing......

Brooke had her first High School dance last week, as you know by viewing her pictures below. My only regret was that I didn't get a single picture of Brooke and I together. I hate that because I can't get those moments back. But, I am proud to have gotten as many photo's of her as I did. I think they all came out really well.

Last weekend we had Ilyn and Dave over for dinner and drinks. How fun that was!! We had all sorts of good food and great drinks. We played a game, and later in the evening we had a dance party in our living room. All 4 of us were dancing fools. It was really funny. I'm sure if the neighbors were looking through the window at us they thought we were a little crazy. We are... :)

Mom and Dad were away in Florida for a week. It was nice to see Mom back at work today. It seems they had a really nice time. I'm happy for them. I'd love to be able to take a vacation soon. I love traveling.

A lot of work lately. I have definitely not been at a loss for things to do at the office, and soon I'll be moving to a new location. I'm not really looking forward to it, but I do know it benefit me in my career in the long run. Change is simply not easy... good or bad We're all such complete creatures of habit.

Spring is in the air. I'm ready for it.

This weekend Fred and I are going to spend the weekend at the New Jersey Shore. I am so grateful that I have a fabulous friend who allows me to use her condo. The last time we went was back in November, which was also the last time anyone was there. If I were her, I'd be there all the time!!! It's so beautiful! We really enjoy going.
