OK so I haven’t updated my journal in a while…Sorry. Well the reason is not much has changed, the weather is still terrible. Even though we have set a record for the warmest January since 1820, it sure hasn’t seemed like it. The weather changes so drastically from day to day. We go from weather in the teens and snowing one day to upper 50’s and ( Read more... )

Well I am not doing so hot on the diet and exercise, don’t get me wrong I have been losing weight its just not accomplishing what I would like fast enough. I may be expecting too much too fast so I am continuing on knowing I will reach my goal ( Read more... )

Well now that the holidays are over it's time to get back on track. I like everyone else have made a few New Years resolutions I hope to be able to keep, primarily diet and exercise. I am usually pretty good at these two but over the last year have been a little lazy, and need to get back into a regular routine. It is true that after the age of 40 ( Read more... )

It snowed 10 inches last week and has been in the low 20’s since, so it has just melted slightly then froze to the ground in big slabs of ice. Then again this morning a couple more inches on top of the ice. Enough all ready! Who pissed Mother Nature off! I wish it would just snow and snow and not this slightly melt and freeze scenario. I want it to ( Read more... )

It is a wonderful 17 degrees here in Indiana. Makes it hard to get out of bed in the mornings. We had a little snow yesterday, nothing that hung around but of course more is expected over the weekend. I have been keeping myself busy since Brian has left, work is very hectic, and I have no life outside of that so I work 7 days a week 12-14 hour days ( Read more... )

Well Brian has left for Iraq, we had a wonderful time together in Houston before he left. During Brian’s time in Houston he got to know several of the other men leaving for Iraq as well. We became good friends with another couple (Jamie & Scott Peppo) It made the time spent together so much more relaxing. Since Scott was also leaving for Iraq we ( Read more... )

Cabrina and Luke thought I would fill you in on some exciting goings-on of my own ( Read more... )

Cabrina called again on Saturday night again she sounded wonderful. We had time to talk about a lot of things this time. She is enjoying herself so much it makes me unsure if she will ever want to come home. She has gotten over her slight homesickness for now. Though she misses all her friends so very much and her family as well I hope ( Read more... )

As of today she has written of so many different experiences, I know it will change her life forever. Friends tease that Luke and her will no longer be American when they return, they will be Indian. I am sure they have adapted to the culture quite easily, by the photos if it weren’t for the blond hair and blue eyes she would be one of the locals ( Read more... )

I know she’s having a wonderful time and experiencing things some of us will only view on TV or dream of, but I still wish she were safe at home. It is only natural for a mother to worry. I have done it since the day she was born. The very first night I laid her in her crib, when she went to school all by herself, and when she went out and played ( Read more... )
