Happies and Sads

 It has been forever since I have posted. I apologize for that my devoted readers. Life has been busy, and I have been a bit lazy. What to post about???  Hmmmm...I posted about my birthday, fun times, hmmmmm....okay, let's start from happiest to sad. I always like happy first.

Happiest: Oldest son and I took a trip to Nashville this past weekend. Our goal of the trip was to see the Texans/Titans football game. Oldest son is a huge fan of the Texans so this was part of his graduation gift. 40 yard line, 6th row tickets. Super fun. We used to live in Nashville, so we stayed with some long time friends and had a brilliant time. We left early Saturday morning and stopped off at Western Kentucky University to visit a friend and do a whirlwind tour of the campus. It is a beautiful place. We may take an official tour at a later date, but we shall see.

Sad stuff: Hubby's brother's best friend's wife passed away from cancer. She had been sick for a long time and finally lost the fight. I have met the friend a few times, but never the wife. She left behind two amazing kids and a super sweet husband. She was younger than me. I cannot even imagine what challenges this family will face over the next period of their lives, but my prayers are with them every day. My sister(in law), but let's face it, she really is my sister, father in law passed away on Sunday. Again, another one from cancer. He was a very young 62. His funeral was today. It was a beautiful service and my heart is very sad right now. Her hubby is an only child and was extremely close to his father. I passed around lots of hugs and condolences, but it never seems to be enough. I absolutely adore my sister and her family. I have known her since she was 16 and through who would have thought life events, she became my sister in law. Her oldest daughter said to someone today that she loves it that I am now her Aunt and not just her mom's best friend. Awww...I feel the same way, sweetheart, thank you!

Through my sad stuff, I realize I needed to re prioritize some things in my life. Funny how a death makes one realize that. I will report on how that is progressing at a later date, but I did something that was stepping out on a limb. The initial result was promising so we shall see. Again, that whole trying something new thing.

I will attempt to get back to regular blogging because, honestly, I miss it.

Hugs!
