We're still here!

Hello! Yes, I know I've been the absolute worst blogger for what....6 months? I truly apologize for being such a slacker in the blog department. Anyway, we've been extremely busy since my last posting. I've been busy with school to become a certified teacher and I also have been substituting at the girls' school ALOT. way more than I expected to be, but it's great. I love it. This summer the girls and I took a road trip to visit my family in Idaho. Yes! I drove all by myself from Lousiana to Idaho. It was a great trip and we had lots of fun. We also just recently sold our house and moved into an apartment just before Thankgiving. The sale was a nightmare, but with that behind us we had a nice little Christmas in our little apartment. We had a fun little visitor this season. An Elf on the Shelf named Pip that was a quite the little prankster and fun to have around. We celebrated the New Year with our good friends and old neighbors, The McConnells. We had our traditional fondue dinner and shot off fireworks....and we caught their yard on fire...OOPS! But we had a great time. Now, we are having unusually freezing weather with ice and snow. I guess someone figured I was missing Idaho. But we are surviving. Now, just looking forward to the upcoming Mardi Gras activities within the next month. Billy will be retiring this spring and then we are off on a new phase of our life. And that's the abridged version of the last 6 months! I'll try to do better at keeping you informed. I do much better with facebook since it is right on my phone, but I'll work on being a better blogger. Take care. Love you all!
