Odds & Ends

Having my blog was easy for the first few days....but it's becoming a challenge after a week. I think I've realized that I don't have a lot of relevant thoughts to share.....

John & I are in the midst of lots of change this and a flurry of activity:
  • Ian - youngest son graduated high school
  • Morgan - oldest daughter was on Survivor Guatemala
  • sold our day spa business and 6000 sq ft building
  • as part of above deal - now are owners of a 3 bedroom house in Mattoon
  • getting house in Mattoon ready to go up for sale
  • moved Ian and middle child Miles into college
  • lost our 11 year old dog to cancer
  • re-arranged house so Morgan could have a bedroom
  • preparing our Sullivan house to go up for sale
  • had our first foster puppy
  • attended my 25 year high school class reunion (do the math)
  • I had a two week back to back business trip
  • need to go to Six Flags in Gurnee to see Morgan in Love at First Fright - before 10/31

So I guess looking at that - we have reason to have our thoughts all scattered this way and that. We hope after all of the house sales - if all goes right - then we hope to buy my sister's house next May. We'll go from a less than 1000 sq ft house with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath to a really big house - 2 story, 5 bedroom, 2 baths. I am sooo excited. I love that house.

Oh - and I'm currently "shopping" the rescue groups for adding a small lap dog to our family! More on that process soon
