Jeff and I have been so blessed to have great families. I can't imagine what my life would be without his family and I know he feels the same way about mine. We don't separate them in our minds...we are ALL
ONE BIG happy family.
We have been back in Indiana for almost 7 months. It has FLOWN by. We are enjoying it all EXCEPT being away from family. We miss EVERYONE of the family in Virginia/West Virginia. We didn't get to see them all very much. We did see Shawna and Pat and their kids and Patsy, my mom in law...we miss the girls, especially because we can talk to the others on the phone and stay in touch. We felt like we were getting to know them and have them in our lives. Sometimes it is lonely without a family of your own. We love you all.
Penelope is our little girl who we give our love and attention to daily. She is the most spoiled little kitty girl in the world. She is getting better since her doctors appt about a month ago now. She has gained ounces...not pounds but she is acting a bit better. She meets her Papi at the door every night after work and follows him out into the dining room when he leaves in the morning. They have their own little morning and evening rituals and she EXPECTS it. No wavering to and fro! Do it and she is happy.
God has blessed us a great deal always and especially since we have been back in Indiana. Jeff has a job...and I have a few prospects. I am hoping to be able to take some classes maybe starting in the summer...or fall...maybe start my master's or get a certification to add to my bachelor's degree. We shall see...life keeps going on no matter what...so we may as well take advantage of all our opportunities!
I have started getting on Pinterest. I am not even sure who invited us...however, I am making bread bowls today. I have always LOVED the bread bowls with soup. I will see how well they turn out. I have found SOOO many great things to make, food, crafts and sewing! It is exciting. NOW, I have to do them! Thanks to whomever invited us!
Have a great day everyone! HUGS!
