So much.....

There is so much going on at the moment! Not sure I even know where to start. Hmmm, when is the last time I posted?

Anyway, came home from NC a few weeks ago to find out my dad was in an accident on the day we were driving home. Got that news 3 hours from NJ! Ugh!! Luckily, it was very minor. Turns out he passed out behind the wheel. He wasn't really hurt, but did end up at the hospital, thankfully. They did all kinds of tests on him and found out it was heart related. He had some blockages. They took care of them and also put a pacemaker in. So, on top of just finishing up cancer treatments, he has heart problems!! Ugh!!! Luckily, he is doing well now.

Band camp was the last two weeks, so Britney has been very busy. I took a lot of pictures of it all. Can't believe it was her last band camp ever! I really do have a senior now. It has hit me. They start school on September 14th. A week late due to work being done in the elementary schools. They took away all of our one day Monday holidays basically so we are still supposed to get out on time in June. That is unless we get some dreaded snow days. Let's hope not!!

I got a new puppy the other day. I know, I know... like I needed another dog. I just couldn't resist. She is my early birthday present! LOL She is a Havanese. I also joined the breeding program for the lady I get my dogs from. Should be an interesting and fun adventure! Anyway, the puppies name is Zoey.

I am very sad! My childhood best friend Nancy is in the hospital. She is 23 weeks pregnant with triplets. The first baby was just born! :( They are hoping the other two hold out at least another week or so, but it's not looking good. The first baby is in the NICU now.

Nancy just lost a baby last year. Nancy has had to go through invitro to even get pregnant. She had her first son 7 years ago and had been trying for the last 4 years or so again to get pregnant. Last year she lost her little girl in utero after carrying her for almost 6 months. :( Now this! I am hoping that the babies and Nancy are all ok in the end!!

An unusually cool evening

It is absolutely beautiful out tonight. August 6th and it's in the 60's tonight. Loving it. I turned the air off and opened the windows. Even lit some yummy smelling candles! Just a perfect night it seems.

I can't believe it is already August though. Kids will be back in school before we even know it. I have a senior now! That will take some serious getting used to! Before long we will all be moving on to the next phase of life.

We are heading to NC this weekend to see Tony, Jen & Gian! It will be nice to see them again. Can't wait to kiss Gian's sweet little face!! Love my grandson! :)

We are seriously considering buying a house in NC sooner rather than later. We really want to retire there and with the house prices so low at the moment, now would be the idea time to purchase one. We do plan to look while there. I have found several that I like a lot! We shall see! :)

I have been slacking on my reading. Hoping to get back into it very soon. Probably when school starts again for the girls. Working on The Vampire Diaries book 3 at the moment. But, I have been working on that for months. LOL I'm so far behind. I haven't spent any time in my craft room either in forever. I guess I got bored with what I was doing. LOL

Having dinner & cake for Dad's birthday tomorrow night. His birthday is next week on the 11th, but we will be in NC that day, so doing it tomorrow. Dad is doing ok for the most part. He has chemo in his body still and will for another year or so for preventative reasons, so he still has days where he isn't feeling the greatest.

Well, off for now. Who knows when I'll post again since obviously I don't do it regularly. Hopefully soon though!
