Another Year Older, But Not Wiser
Yes, my birthday has come & gone again. Work was so hectic last week that I didn't even get to enjoy it. I had two different overnight trips to Orlando. My work had a yummy yogurt cake for me. That evening, Steve took me out to a Middle Eastern restaurant. It was all nice, but this weekend we are going to live it up. Steve booked a room in a bed & breakfast down in Key West! It is only a four hour drive, but it is like going to a different country. I'm not much of a wild person, but I like to be shocked by others sometimes & Key West is definitely a good place to go for that.
Now, it is time to forget that I am getting older & focus on my family gossip. Soon everyone will hate talking to me, but for now I'll share:
First, my brother, Clayton, and his wife just found out that they will be having their fourth child. I'm probably more excited than they are. I just adore the other three. Of course, they'll love the baby, but when this one is born they'll have 4 all under the age of 6. Good luck to them!!!
One of my other brothers, Alma, has recently been hurt quite badly. While helping his wife train a horse, he grabbed the rope/bridle as the horse was running off. Regrettably, his hand was ripped apart. Apparently, there are even missing chunks. The doctors told him that he would be able to use it again. I wonder if they meant for useful things.
My youngest brother, Chris, is also experiencing drama in his life. He is about to embark on a divorce. I hope that it goes as smoothly as possible, but I am pretty sure it won't. I know that divorce is never ideal, but I really believe that it is a great way to fix a mistake. This life is about fixing mistakes & moving on right? I'm not trying to say my brother or his wife are horrible people (they aren't), just that marriage is wonderful when you are with the right person. I do believe that two horrible people can get married & be very happy together. It is all about finding the right match.
I guess while I am on the family gossip topic, my little sis got a job!!! Paige will be one of the new faces at Cinnabon. She isn't excited about the food industry (what teenager is?), but she is on a work release program at school & had to get something quickly. Next year, she'll be headed off to college & will have a great excuse to quit. --I guess that about wraps up the gossip for my family. If any of the details are not accurate, blame my sister. I got most of it from her...

This blog is like a journal for me. It is also a way for my friends to keep tabs on me.
For people who don't know me, I come from a big family (3 brothers & 1 sister). We moved around a LOT, so I am not really from one particular place. I like to call Katy, Texas my home though.
Recent news, my Dad & Mother-in-Law were diagnosed with Terminal Cancer in April/May of 2005. My dad passed away 5-Dec-05 .
