---Vacation?----

Everyone at work was so excited about this five day vacation we all were getting. Too bad I didn't get a vacation! But on a happier note-

Garage is cleaned out
Full truck load of stuff went to the DI
Hanks Room is clean
Washer and Dryer is connected and working
Living room is almost empty of boxes
Bathroom is clean
Hank is all packed for the week to stay with Grandma

NOW I just need to finish laundry, dishes, the living room, and pack myself for my trip to Nashville. Too bad that is not a vacation either! But I enjoy the annual conference because I come back to work with a lot of great information.

So that is what we have spent the last five days doing. Now time to get back to the cleaning, unpacking, and packing for the trip.

Thankful

I am thankful for so many things and for so many people who are in my life. I never find the time to let the people know, and I never take the time to be thankful for the things I have. So my goal is to become more thankful. Here is a short list of the things I am grateful, thankful for!

• An awesome 6 1/2 year old
• A place to call home
• A smile to wake up to in the morning
• A great job (that I LOVE)
• A great school for Hank to be in
• A great sister
• A great brother
  
• Great extended family
• Spending time with family
• My few new friends who are so supportive

Obviously there are many many other things that I am thankful for. But like a said a short list.

Not going back....Just going forward

So I have decided that I am not going to try and keep going back to update the blog. I am just going to go forward. It was way to discouraging every time I logged on to try and go through what happened over the summer. So I am sure that I will throw a few pictures up from over the summer but mostly will just try to actually update the blog every so often.
