I'm back & I'm tired...

After a slightly longer than two month sabbatical (I've just always liked that word) I think it's time to get back to writing. With good intention I had started a post about a month ago. There's a gremlin living inside of my laptop and I've gotten so frustrated I've wanted to pitch this thing right across the room of our concrete double-wide. :)

There's been a change in the family here. We are one less member on the island now. Lonnie has completed the Stateside deployment training and is headed over to you-know-where for we-don't-know-how-long for why-we're-not-sure. So, for the past oh, I'd say since the last post...our little island world has been turned upside down. Jenna & I will stay here. She will be attending East-West Montessori School through the summer and the next year. Since she misses the kindergarten cut-off date by 72 HOURS she'll have to "repeat" a year of the Montessori school. It's either that or I keep her at home and that just doesn't make sense since she's been in school for two years now.

My friend that was killed last month would've been 33 today. I know I've mentioned him to a lot of you. Tripp was a very special guy and touched the lives of many. His accident and Lonnie's deployment have been two reasons I haven't written in awhile. I have several new posts that I'll write up soon that promise to be entertaining!
