Well hello again!

I’m back

And sending you love from my busy life ...

What a crazy few weeks! We've been working diligently on the deck and the back yard for our upcoming summer plans. It's a project been on hold for far too long, but the last few nights have been spent relaxing as a family in our new space which is just what we like to do when the weather is nice.

Dave and I also went to Vegas last week for his Teamster Unity Convention for 5 days right in the middle of our home improvements. He was one of just a couple of members who was invited by James Hoffa Jr. to present accomplishments from the main stage on Tuesday night and my heart burst open with pride.

Our diet saga continues, after a few days of fun eating in Vegas, we're back on and although getting a little bored with our food options, we can see the benefit of losing the weight and both of us are looking forward to a summer without the excess weight to carry around.

My baby is headed off to Senior Prom this weekend and then graduation a week later ... oh my goodness so many good things are happening in our family right now! The best of all is making the final Catholic high school tuition payment last week! (I know I know, we've got college around the corner, but honestly it's cheaper than private school!)

I'll let you in on the party plans, deck, SunDaze and diet in individual blog posts ... but today ... I just wanted to say "hello" and catch you up with my crazy life!

Enjoy the sunshine everyone!
