Catching up...

It's been a while since I posted last. I am always amazed how my time slips away from me. I can't remember the last time I was bored...

Here's a recap of the last few weeks. In early May, I saw a motivational speaker, Amanda Gore , sponsored by the Women's Connection, who was quite funny and gave me much to think about: 1. Get over it, 2. Take care of me. Check out her website. I went to this with my Book Group, and we had a great time.

At work I have been working hard to make sure we don't run a deficit. This will be our second year breaking even (assuming no unforseen disasters), and we are quite proud of this accomplishment. Its hard to run a full service (24/7/365) on the resources we do.

On the weekend of May 15, we all trekked down to Bloomington to celebrate the college graduation of Bryan's cousins Nikki & Lori. Nikki just finish law school at U of I, and Lori is going into teaching (grad of ISU). We are very proud of them.

Late last week, Rowan woke with a cold, much to our surprise (does anyone have a cold right now?), and we spent last weekend at home recovering. Bryan has not been feeling very well either, and the seasonal allergies are definately getting to both Bryan and Rowan.

We were planning on wishing my niece, Sara, congrats at her graduation party on Saturday, but Rowan was not up to it. We are very sad to miss her party. Sara finished high school a semester early and has been working on her gen ed requirements at Kirkwood Community College. Way to go Sara!

Back to work today. Sigh. It has been such pleasant weather here the last 3 days. Good for working in the garden, albeit a little windy. I have my vegetables in, but a lot of weeding to do in other parts of the garden. If the veggies only did as well as the weeds...

More about my garden later. But for now, this is my first post to our weblog. It's a new addition to our website. Please post your comments/discussion items. We'd love to hear from you.

PS. I can't believe I almost forgot. Rowan has been imitating sounds that we make. Last Sun
