Happy New Year!

Well.... long time no blog!  It's been a CRAZY couple of months in my world.  Many CHANGES, lots of DISTRACTIONS and the HOLIDAYS, but now I'm ready to start this NEW YEAR!  

2015 

will be 

FILLED

with MANY 

new

ADVENTURES 

for our

 FAMILY.

My HUSBAND RETIRED after more than 33 years of service with the federal government National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.  

Both sons A-Z, (ADAM & ZACK) are planning WEDDINGS in 2015.  We are so excited to WELCOME 2 daughters, Staci and Hannah join our FAMILY and  I LOVE them both already! 

And if RETIREMENT & WEDDINGS weren't enough for 1 year, TOM and I have made an exciting decision to move back to NORTH CAROLINA.   We have always DREAMED of LIVING in the BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS and have decided to make our DREAMS happen this YEAR.  

Though it will be hard to move away from Adam, Staci and all of our FRIENDS, this move will put us CLOSER to our extended FAMILIES. 



For NOW, I'm really looking forward to TEACHING classes at my new home at "Checkered Cottage" in Kirkwood.  The 1st class of the YEAR is January 14.  Details below, call Checkered Cottage for your RESERVATION.
