I suppose I should start by apologizing for the lack of posts.  I've been remiss in my duties of posting on our main family site.  It's largely because of my Project Life 365 blog.  I do a post everyday and I honestly forget about this site.  My Project Life 365 blog is about what is going on in our every day lives.  Sometimes, that's significant and other times it's not, but it tells the story of our lives and the memories are priceless.  I started it in January 2011 and have been going strong every since.  Because of that blog, I've largely forgotten about the main family site.  Most of the people who read the blog never come to this part of our site so it's "out of sight, out of mind."  Time to correct that though!  I promise to try to do better!

For a quick family update:

• Laura has 15 days of Kindergarten left.  How is that possible?
• I am losing my job on June 29, 2012.  I'm looking, but there isn't much out there.  It's frustrating - REALLY frustrating.  I very much appreciate the concern, but I have to admit that all the questions are weighing me down.  I'm tired of all the "Oh, something will come up for you" statements or the infamous sympathetic head bob.
• We leave for South Carolina on May 31 to see our niece, Megan, graduate high school.  I met her when she was two years old at our wedding.  How in the world is it possible that 16 years have passed since then?  She's turned into a beautiful lady and I'm sure she'll enjoy her college years at Clemson!
• Andy is golfing with the Division of Information Technology's golf team again.  He enjoys that a lot.  Any excuse to golf right?
• John is doing so well at daycare.  He knows the ABCs and he can count to 20, though he generally jumps from 13 to 18.  Why, you ask?  He likes the number 18.
• This past weekend, we went to the wedding of one of our sets of neighbors, Jesse and Katie Gilbert.  It was awesome and so much fun!  Brought back the day that I married Andy.
• Our other neighbor sells her house tomorrow.  She's been our neighbor since 2001.  It will be strange to see new faces, but always interesting!
• I've begun exercising again on a regular basis.  I would love to lose weight, but it isn't about that.  Mostly, I'm tired of feeling so tired all the time.  It's really helping that issue and it's great to be able to do lunges and not have a sore butt!
• With me losing my job, I've been a nut.  My normal level of stability is currently missing.  I've also lost my filter...you know those things you think, but don't say?  Well, I seem to say them these days.  I'll have to find that filter again when I finally get a new job....
• Laura gets her own birthday party this year.  She wants a sleepover with 8-10 of her friends.  I think I'm crazy, but she's getting a sleepover.  John's birthday party will be at Little Mates' Cove.  Can you believe they will be 6 and 4? 

Well, that's all for now.  At least you are a "little" updated on our lives!  We are hanging in there and despite the current level of stress in my life, we'll get through.  :)
