It has been a LONG time!

Many months, days, and hours have passed since I last wrote. So much has happened since then. In a nutshell:
1) We moved from Murfreesboro to Ahoskie because we bought a house.
2)Meredith has had three spacers put in her mouth to hold the teeth in place whilst we wait for the adult teeth to come in.
3) I started teaching 4th grade math and science....which apparently is not the case for next year...suppose to be self-contained...I'm less than thrilled with this prospect.
4) Jeff....well he died...twice. On moving day, I found him on the floor of our bathroom. Short story: he had a pulmonary embolism. The saddle-type...sat between his lung and heart. Doctors said it was the largest they had ever seen in a living person. After a week in ICU, he returned home. In Oct. he had 3 fusions in his neck. He still has some balance issues and other issues, but he is alive! Praise God!
5) Caitee is growing like a weed. She has started speech therapy this summer. I'm hoping she'll get placed in the speech program in the fall so she'll be able to start preK when she turns 4.

The girls and I are headed to Texas this summer. I will be attending my 20th high school reunion. And many of my family and friends have not met Caitee...and she is almost 3! Plus we are excited to meet my youngest brother John's two boys!

I have started a weight loss program that I hope will be a life long change for me. I have already noticed that some foods I used to enjoy are too salty, too sweet, or just don't please me anymore. I weighed in last Wednesday and have lost 9 lbs so far. Hope I can continue to lose while in Texas! Y'all keep me on track!
