Wow, I can't believe it's been so long since I've written, guess that can be a good thing. So far New Mexico is proving to be a great place to live. The weather is great, no snow!, and Lena has made some really good friends. So much has been going on since January it's hard to remember it all, but I will try. Randy and I have also met some great people here and it seems that our house is the gathering place for the BBQ's, I don't mind so much, but it would be nice to go to someone else's house once in a while, so I don't end up doing all the cleaning before and after.
Ellie and the kids came a couple of weeks ago for their spring break and I'll tell you, what a stressful situation that was. By the time they left all I wanted to do was stay in bed with the covers over my head for a couple days. The situation between Ellie and John's daughter Brit is really hard to watch. They don't speak to eachother and when one comes inot a room the other leaves, it's just crazy! Not only was that going on, but Ellie and John seemed to fight all the time and it started the first day she got here, I just couldn't stand it anymore, so I took off a few times by myself just to re-group and mellow out. There is just too much drama for me. I like my nice simple quite life and was so glad to get back to it.
John is moving out at the end of this month, his daughter Nikki got kicked out of the boyfriends place and she is also now hooked on meth, so he's going to try to help her and the baby out. Should be interesting to see how that all pans out. He's finally come up with a payment plan to pay us the $4200.00 he owes, I just need him to sign something in writing then hopefully he will keep up on the payments.
Randy's job is going well. He's really busy, but he likes it. He hates being bored at work. He seems to be moving up the totem poll also, the company has asked him and only 3 others to take a saftey class of sorts so they can have that on the company resume.
Lena is doing great also. School is good and she's looking forward to 2nd grade. As for me it's pretty much the same old, same old. Nothing too exciting.

2008 What a crazy year it was
I can't believe that yet another year has gone by so fast. It seems just yeserday we were ringing in 2008. So many things have changed this year for my little family, so I will start with Lena.
She started 1st grade in Utah, still can't believe she will be 7 in a few months, she loved her teacher and classmates. Her birthday in 2008 wasn't so great since Mom decided to get sick, but I made it up to her in a big way, so she forgave me, thank goodness. She has done so much growing this year in both the physical way and the mental way. She is almost up to my shoulders now and I can hardly keep up with her anymore. She is such a go getter and can't sit still for more than a few minutes at a time, and her talking, what can I say about that, the girl is never quite, she's always going on about one thing or another and sometime I have to admit that I get mentally tired just listening to her. She is such a great kid I couldn't have asked for better. She was really excited to move to New Mexico, then wouldn't you know it, the minute we get here she wants to go back to Utah. She has slowly settled in and has made a really good friend in the neighborhood. They play every weekend together and never seem to get tired of eachother.
Randy-Well his job moved us from Oregon to Utah now to New Mexico. This is a great company, so I don't mind so much. He is doing really well at his job and has made a hunting buddy, so I will once again be a hunting widow.
Me-2008 didn't start out so well for me. February I got really sick, hence no party for Lena. I almost didn't make it to 2009, but the Lord was watching out for me and decided I had more to do on this earth. My body is still not back to normal, the doctor said it would take me a great while to recover from my near death experience and boy was he right. I have my good days and my bad days, but I take full advantage of the good ones. I do have to say that 2008 wasn't all bad, I have a wonderful husband whom I love dearly and a beautiful daughter who keeps me young. The rest of the year went pretty well. I miss my friends in Utah and Oregon, but I know that I will meet some interesting people here, I just need to get out of the house to do that.
I hope everyone has a wonderful 2009!
