Welcome

So, with the New Year rapidlly approaching I thought it would be nice to find a place where I can just write down all of the things that are happening - and they will be available for people to read at their leisure. Whether or not this really gets off the ground or not I do not know - but there is never any harm in trying.
Our life is KIDS - plain and simple. When talking with others - well those in my 'arena' - their lives are about KIDS too ... so I guess I we are the typical American Family.
Brittany is in college - thank heavens we all lived long enough to see that day. Taylor is in HS - ... one word WOW. Trey is in JHS and Brielle is in the 4th grade. Tay & Brielle play club volleyball and Trey is in tournament basketball - praying that baseball starts soon.
Troy and I both work at Equa-Chlor and are very thankful for our jobs. With the economy like it is it is so nice to go to work and hear positive outlooks. Neither one of us are so naive as to think it couldn't come crashing down - hey, we've been there before ... but we also know a good thing when we see it.
Other than that we continue to life - laugh - love everyday. Being happy makes everything seem so trivial when you put it in the perspective that it deserves.
For my New Years resolution this year I think I am going to get a little selfish. There are some things that I have always put on the backburner - but perhaps this year I will move them to the front - even if it is just for a little while. Lets face it - I need an exercise plan people! I have never felt like a bigger sloth! Then - I really want to develop my photography skills a little. Getting myself outside and moving should enable me to capture the world as I see it. After that it gets a little personal - the control freak in me needs to learn to let go a little. I have known it for a long time - but now it is really getting on my nerves. That one is going to take some real effort - I hope I am ready for the challenge. I know my family is.
So - here is my start. I don't know how the blog will flow - or what it all means (I don't even know anyone that does this) - so here is to 2009 and the unexpected!!
