Hello everyone,

I haven't been on here for so long. I just quickly browsed through some threads and I only see one or two people that look familiar. Where did everyone go? Who is still around?


For those of you that know me, I just finished my first year of teaching! Today was the last day we had the students, and tomorrow is our last day for the school year. It was an awesome year.
In December, Zack and I moved into our new house, so that's why I have been very busy with that and the whole teaching thing
I am ready for summer vacation. Mittens is doing good. He is enjoying life as an outdoor kitty with his buddy Watson.

Unfortunately, there is always bad with the good....on April 10th, my father died. On Easter Sunday after baptizing my little sister, he collapsed from a massive stroke. It's been devestating. My life has been quite different, and I am trying to cope with all the heartache of losing a parent.

I want to hear what everyone else is up to....I hope this note finds everyone in good health and spirits!

Welcome back! I am so sorry about your dad. My hubby just lost his mom on April 3rd, so I can empathize with what you are going through. The pain doesn't seem to fade, does it. You are in my prayers.
