Wow...that was a long break from the blog.  I went through a dry spell, not much to write, I guess.  But guess what is different since I last offered my thoughts to those that might stop by??  I have a new job!  It is great fun being part of something that is about to explode and change several lives at once!!  It has been a long time since I worked at something other than our schooling.  Do not think we have let that go...schooling is still our thing and the beauty of this new job is that Bryan can hang out with me at the office or with his buddies as they crack the books together.  It is a the best of both worlds!  What is the new job you wonder?  I am the new Office Manager for Ranger Construction!!

    Michael and Shirley have had Ranger Construction for years, but this is the first time they have ventured out and opened an office outside of the home.  Michael sees growth about to happen...there are new shoots about to spring to life and opening an office is the right thing to do at this time.  I have been seeking a way to make some changes in my life, my family's life and for a way to help my dear friends in any way possible.  With a new baby on the way, a new future Ranger Construction employee about to enter the scene, changes are afoot!  God heard my prayer and the job just happened!  Shirley can focus more on nesting and less on invoicing.  It is a blessing!!

    Tomorrow is my birthday!  I am having a hard time getting used to being "mid-forties"!!!  It is a strange feeling when I stop pretending I am 30 something and realize I am getting closer to 50!!  It is all good though.  Life is good!  We have so much to be thankful for!

    Bryan is almost finished with 8th grade and that, more than being 40 something, freaks me out!   My baby is about to be a high schooler!!!  ACK!

    Take care and enjoy your days.  Smile and take in the beauty of life!!!
