Someone pointed out to me today that I really should start blogging again. It has been a while and much has changed since my last post. Those of you that don't know feel free to call and ask. Otherwise, it's apparent that you could care less. Your loss. A little blunt yes but I'm over the explanations at this point.
I convinced R. to start up another blog as well. He doesn't even remme how to get access to his old one and just decided to start another to blog about his cooking. He's calling it "Blind Chef." Seems fitting all things considered. However, what he hoped to be his first post didn't turn out the success we had both hoped for so he decided to wait on the first blog. So keep an eye out for it. I'm sure it will be interesting.
I think we can say R. and I both are glad to be back in Athens. It doesn't always go the way we had hoped but it always works out for the best. Prime example; we were really hoping to get a few more years out of the car....needless to say that didn't happen so we had to buy a new "whip" as the stars say. So we traded the Accord in for an Element which means we're now prepared for a kid and a dog when the time comes. Granted the dog will be sooner than the kid as Leader Dogs told him when he was up for training that they'd like to have him back up there sometime this summer for dog training. YAY! The kid we're still workin' on. Buying the car however, means that we aren't going to be able to pay things off and buy a house as soon as we were hoping but I am sure that it will all come in its time. Patience is a virtue I am still working on daily. I'm sure this is all part of it. After all, since when do things work out the way I plan them to? Guess it's God's way of telling me not to get ahead of Him. But for now we are content to live in our little apartment here in town. The location couldn't be more perfect for R., the commute is a simple one for me, and it has all the space we require with a bedroom to spare.
We had a late b-day party for R. and I on March 5 and actually had a house full of friends; some new, some old, and almost all of them signing. Those that didn't know any signs coming in the door walked out knowing at least a few, even if it was the dirty ones. lol.
Other than that - not much else is new. R. still beats me w/ his cane only now it's a white and red one. He's still working to finish up school and I'm still working in one. Although middle school really makes me question a desire for children. Keeping my fingers crossed that next year I will be back at the HS where all insanity is hormonal. By that time hopefully I'll be as pregnant as 1/2 the other teenage girls in the hall and just as hormonally attitudinal.
