I'm still here

Hello friends. I'm sure all your Google readers are firing alarms that Shauna has actually posted something new. Well it's not going to be much, but just wanted to do a little rambling mostly for myself. I hope you don't mind.

Life is a little different than it was a few months ago, but instead of focusing on the changes, I am focusing on what I've learned. I've learned that what's most important to me are the people I hold in my arms everyday- my boys. I love them more than I love anything else. We've been so busy in the last few months that I sometimes forget they're the reason I wake up every day.

I've also learned that every challenge and every hardship is for our good. We have learned a lot in the last few weeks about ourselves and the things that really matter. We needed a good kick in the rear, and we got it. I welcome more challenges if that's what I need to be a better person. After all, that's the goal, right?

And a word to my mom and sisters who are actually probably the only ones reading this blog, I love you. I think of you all the time and feel so grateful for your constant love and support.

As my dad would say, life is good.

my new crush

So I'm totally hooked. I just finished Twilight and can think of nothing else. Is Edward ever delicious or what??? I asked my husband if it's considered a crush if it's a character in a book. He just laughed.

A flag mistake

Warning: this next post is not for the hypersensative.

Anyone who knows Tobin knows that he and his cousin, Tav, share a love of flags. But Tobin hasn't perfected actually saying the word FLAG. Instead, it sounds like FAG. So today we were at Costco. Yay, we love that place. As we were walking down an isle, Tobin spotted a flag on a man's hat. He pointed to the man and said "A fag. A fag." Can you imagine!?! The man was actually a good sport and just looked at Tobe with a half smile. Oh brother. That poor guy.
