A real update! I know you're all shocked, but it was bound to happen sooner or later, right? So, where to even start...I guess at my last post I had just gotten my new job. I've been there for 2 months now and I can truly say that I love it! It just fits for me, the people are great the job is interesting and I am very very happy. Bryce is adjusting to daycare. He still has days where he cries and he's afraid I'm not coming to pick him up, but he adores his teacher and he is always pretty excited about the things they do each day. Brianna still loves school and we just got her very first report card. We are so happy and proud of how she is doing in school it is so reassuring to see her thriving here. Bob is still busy at work and comes to visit (or we go back to IL) about every other weekend.
The house still hasn't sold, which stinks. We are closing in on a whole year that it has been on the market. It is frustrating to say the least. I'm just soo soo ready to have my family back together again. In the last month I have really fought the urge to pack the kids up and head back to Illinois. If I didn't love my job so much I probably would have. It is just so hard and I'm tired of seeing the kids sad, I'm tired to trying to keep everything together and trying to be OK. I'm not OK, I miss Bob...I miss our family just being together and I hate saying goodbye more than we say anything else.
BUT, I know this won't last forever (even if it feels like it will) and I am constantly reminded of why we are doing this. Seeing Brianna playing with Kelsey (my cousin and best friend since birth's daughter) doing exactly the same things we did as girls makes my heart happy and makes me certain the decisions we're making are the right ones.
However, if anyone wants to know what they can get me for my birthday...an offer on our house would be the perfect gift! :)
Time for bed...5:30 will come too early in the morning!
(Thanks Grandma for always checking up on us...I'll try to give you something to read more often! Love you!!)

i know i owe you an update, but first....
A book review! (Grandma I promise to come back and write again soon!)
I received Witches Under Way by Debora Geary a week ago. Believe me it didn't take me a week to read it, this is just the first chance I've had to write a review. Witches Under Way is the sequel to Witches on Parole Unlocked, a spin off (of sorts) of the Modern Witch series. I may or may not squeal with delight every single time Debora's name appears in my inbox. I truly have loved every single one of these books, and she always leaves me itching for the next installment. Anyway, enough rambling...on to the review!
Witches Under Way finds us once again catching up with Elsie and Lizard, both of whom are working through their personal baggage on their way to becoming the kind of women and witches they were meant to be. Lizard is becoming quite the realtor-in-training, but shows her true passion when she begins taking poetry classes at the local college. Elsie is slowly trying to recapture some of the childhood she never even knew she missed, and all of our favorite witches are there to help them along the way. To the shock of everyone, even themselves, Elsie and Lizard have formed a bond and are becoming each others biggest supporter, while at the same time being the one to help push the other to do things they didn't know they could.
I'll admit, I was sad when I got to the last page of this book, I couldn't believe it was over so quickly and I wanted to see what happened next in the lives of Elsie and Lizard. I cannot wait to see how their story ends (however, I will hate to see it end at all).
Another wonderful book by Geary. This entire series is a must read in this girl's opinion!
