13 months later:

It's been 13 months since I last posted something! Doesn't seem that long. A lot has happened, all good stuff. I still miss my kids, I'm sure I always will but I can't say I'm lonely for them. In fact if I could figure out how I'd change the whole "lonelymom" thing--but then this started as a road to re-discovering myself without my kids, so maybe I'll keep it. I'll try to catch up but things won't be in any kind of order.

My baby got married--It was a beautiful wedding
to sweet girl we love, they are settling in nicely.

My daughter's got a new beau and things are
looking serious there as well!

Ken and I backpacked in to Grebe Lake on the first of our two trips to Yellowstone-one of our
most favorite places in the world.

I've been working on my fly fishing skills with a
vengence!

This spring Kenny and I took a sunny warm vacation to a lovely resort in Cabo with some

friends.

Our mission trip this year consisted of helping a pastor friend of ours in South Dakota re-roof one of his churches.

On our way home we spent an evening at

Mount Rushmore--the lighting left us feeling very patriotic!

With all of this, many fishing trips, a 4th of July camping trip, some hiking, visits to our parents, we've have an extremely busy life, but full of fun and friends.
