It's May!!

Where has the time gone? Really?

So, there's definitely a lot going on in my household right now. Just to fill you in, my Grandmother recently passed away. She's my Dad's mom. Ironically, she passed away on the 1 yr anniversary of my Dad's death. I knew her time on this earth was coming to a close, but I have to say, my sister and I were sure hoping she wouldn't pick that day to return to her Heavenly Home. Given the circumstances of my Dad's passing, we knew it would make that day particularly hard.

Although I was hoping March 22nd wouldn't be the day, deep down inside I knew it would be. I was prepared spiritually. What's interesting is that I was a nervous wreck all the days leading up to March 22nd, but on that day, I was kept busy and didn't dwell too much on the sadness of that day and although I felt a little anxious, once I got the call from my Uncle informing my that my Grandmother did indeed pass away, I became extremely calm and peaceful. I miss her terribly, but instead of mourning a life cut short, I celebrate the full life she lived.

In April, my husband celebrated his 40th birthday and we had a fun surprise party for him. Also my little man, Josh, turned 5. I don't want him to grow up, but he just won't listen to me! ;o) And now that we are in May, my daughter Cassie and her husband, celebrated their 1 yr anniversary yesterday. Hard to believe it's gone by that quick. Alicia is graduating high school and will soon be turning 18. Some time in the next 6-8 months, she's planning on going off to college. Not sure how I feel about that. She was out to a church activity last night with friends and the rest of us were home eating and we realized that this is what it will be like when she's away at school or when she's off and married, whenever that comes. I have to say, it was weeeirrrddd!! LOL But we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

I just wanted to say hello to everyone out there in the blog-o-sphere and to let you know I haven't forgotten about you! I can feel my creative juices flowing again and I'm EXCITED about it. Hopefully in the near future, I'll have something new to share! About time right!? ;o)

I hope May will be a beautiful month for all! Summer is just around the corner...officially, that is. In some places it already feels like Summer. That sounds good to me! =o)

Love,
