Breezy is at a conference this weekend. Chaz is out on a luggage run. I sort of recommended he go. Not sure how he likes that.
The last 5 months have been so challenging with the kids. It seems like for every step I take forward, I take two steps back. I've cried more in the last months than I probably have my entire life. And they both think I'm "pretending." No pretending involved. Truly upset. I spend a lot of time praying but feel like I'm getting nowhere. I know God hears. I know He has plans for them. I'm going to continue to stand on the prophetic word that has been spoken over them both.
Getting back to school was good. Our Christmas tree is still up. I like looking at it. I think my nurse does as well. I may leave it there until the end of the school year! LOL
In other news, I'm going to attempt a 52 week project. I did the cover and the first 2 pages last night. I managed to get 5 scrap pages done this week. That is good. Right?
I'm sitting here watching the wedding planner on tbs. Never seen it before. It's cute. And clean. Not many clean romantic movies around. I'll add it to You've Got Mail, 2 Weeks Notice, and Letters to Juliet.
January 1st: We started the year with new kitties. Pickles and Merlot joined us from the Humane Society of Pensacola.
January 2nd: Incredible service at our Foley Campus followed by communion with New Covenant Christian International and lunch.
January 3rd: Back to school. Kind of tough to get back into the swing of things but glad to be there just the same.
January 4th: Senior Night for Girls Varsity soccer. Got to take pictures for the girls.
January 5th: Chase’s first game of the new year. They played hard but lost.
January 6th: Brianne’s first game of the new year. Sadly, it may have also been her last one of the season. She was in so much pain when she came off the field that I ended up taking her to the emergency room. Doctor gave her a mobilizing brace to keep her from bending it. She must wear it for 5 days.
January 7th: Brianne is off to the YMCA CLC meeting in Montgomery, knee brace and all. I took the day off to drive her to Navarre. Chase had a soccer game. He drove to Taco Bell to meet some friends for dinner and then back to the school for his game. I began my modified P365 scrapbook. I’m just doing the year by week. We’ll see how it goes!

After I left Japan, I only saw Jolie once more around 1995 in San Diego. I lost contact with Jolie sometime around 1997.
Although I often searched on Google for Jolie, I never located her. And then, a search on Facebook the summer of 2010, brought me back in touch with my wonderful friend.
Life has changed greatly for both of us. I’m now a divorced Mom of teenagers and she, the Mom to her nephew.
And yet, after all that time apart, it was like we had never lost contact! How wonderful to have a friend like that!

That's it for now. I'm off to clean the kitchen. It needs serious help. Go figure. Doesn't everything?
