And we're in!

We moved in the house back in March. Well, halfway moved in. Lots of problems with the house, leaks, siding missing, etc. But most of that has been resolved. Made my first mortgage payment Tuesday! Got a new car too, that Intrepid was just too much trouble to deal with so I traded it in.

Both boys are in karate now. Jacob took first place in his first tournament Sun May 2nd, and Ryan took 2nd place in the white belt division. 2 more weeks and they have their belt test for yellow belt. I hope Ryan is invited to take the belt test, he needs a little more work to perfect his technique but overall he is doing good.

The new scout troop we're in is doing well also. We need 2 more boys to be a fully chartered and recognized troop, and we're working on that. We lost a lot of boys at recharter due to various reasons, now we're just working on getting that charter back. Ryan is just one step away from getting First Class scout, and Jacob is still a Cub Scout with one year to go before crossing over to Boy Scouts. All Ryan has to do is complete his BSA swimmer test and he's good to go for First Class!

I have a new romantic interest in my life, sortof. :) We talk on the phone a lot, and email constantly, but we haven't gotten the chance to meet face to face. I feel like I've known him forever, but we're taking things slow and seeing how they end up. I'm definitely not rushing into anything ever again. But I definitely miss companionship and intimacy!

Going to Vegas again in August for Sony Online Entertainment's Fan Faire! I've been a Guide with the Everquest game for almost 3 years now, and a Senior Guide for almost 2 of that 3. I'm so excited about seeing old and new friends again! Next year, we're planning on making a huge family vacation with my mom, my brother and sister in law, and their kids, and my kids, and going to Disney World. We'll have to rent a van or huge SUV to fit all of us in! My mom even mentioned renting an RV but I think that might be more trouble than it's worth!

Well I'm at work, been with Cloud 10 for a year as of April 19th and still am happy with the job. Amazing I've held out this long! I see myself with this company for a very long time.

I guess that's it for now!

We got it! We got it!

Today's date was hovering over me like a rain cloud. I could barely sleep last night, wondering what today would portend. Today was the day we would get "the call." The call that would change our lives. The call that would tell us whether we got approved for a new house or not. 10 a.m. No phone call. 11 a.m. I called and left a message. 12:37pm, she called. I answered the phone with a hitch in my breath and fevered prayer to God. She sounded happy when she said Hello. Good sign. Then I heard the magical words "You're approved!" But there was a catch. We weren't approved for a brand new home, the one we'd painstakingly chosen flooring and wallcovering for. We'd been approved for a repo. Neither Bruce nor myself realized there was another option besides approval or denial. The repos are all in great shape, like brand new, and we can even use our first-time home buyer's credit as a downpayment. So now all we have to do is get the property tax in...

So I took this quiz...

You know, one of those where you make a numbered list and write down certain things by certain numbers like "By the number 3, write down the name of a member of the opposite sex. And by number 7, write down the name of a song title." Those kind. Yeah. Then when you're done, it gives you the answers to what each of those things mean. The creepy thing was it was right on target. I actually had tears in my eyes when I got to the last one, and it said "The song title in number 11 describes how you feel about your life." My song title was "Probably Shouldn't Be This Way" by LeAnn Rimes. I've often wondered why I was chosen to lead the life I do. I've done things to make it better, or thought I had, then I just backslide. I just wish upon a star I could catch that one major "lucky break." Just once. I have my consult for the Lap-Band surgery on the 25th of this month. I'm now trying to race around getting tests and paperwork and all...

Just...Wow....

I've been here since 2004. 5 years. I didn't realize I'd been blogging that long. I don't think anyone reads my blogs anymore but that's ok. I like to come back for sentimentality sake. I'm heartbroken that ALL of my private diary I had saved on my hard drive was obliterated a month ago as the hard drive died a slow and painful death. Normally they can get the information off the drive by mounting it on their server, but the drive wouldn't respond. Period. It was cold dead. Which means I lost pictures and documents from about 2007 onwards. Highly treasured photos at that. Maybe it's for the best that my kids don't read all that garbage I used to write about George. Entries upon entries of disgust, contempt, borderline hate. Maybe it is better to just put it all behind me and let them have what little memory of him they have left. Jake has no memory of him hardly at all, and Ry remembers very little. The memories will fade as they get older, I'm c...
