It's been far too long since I last posted. I've been caught up with Facebook. That site truly is addictive. Not bad for someone who said she'd never join it, right. But I'm on there everyday, seeing what's up and looking at everyone's profiles and pictures. It's gotten me back in touch with old friends and people I haven't spoken to in years so I suppose it's all good.

School is done and Rory and Nolan are off doing what little kids do. Camping and staying up later than usual and enjoying all the freedom summer allows to the innocent. I adore those kids. The last day was a little sad for me. They gave me kisses and hugs and said I love you on their way out the door. Off to their good times.

Things have been in a bit of a transition here these past several weeks. I'm no longer dating C. B and I have decided to work things out. I'm happier these days than I've been in so long. I guess people and relationships have to go through rough patches sometimes. We've talked and figured things out and are happily giving it another try. *smiles*

I've turned 27. I'm not quite sure what to say about it. I feel no different than I did when I was 24 or 25 or 26. I find it funny that some people see turning a year older as such a big deal. I think age is one of those things that can bring you down if you let it. I feel wonderful. And turning 27 has been great. I think good things are going to happen this year.

Chris and Lynette have moved the wedding from October to August! So, it's 2 months earlier than we expected. I'm quite excited about it. Lynette asked me to be a bridesmaid and I have to give a speech, probably welcoming Lynette to the family. I know I'm going to cry! I'm already getting nervous about it! We've been busy here, getting ready for it all. We already had the shower and I soon have to get fitted for my dress. I very much enjoy doing the things leading up to the wedding. I can only imagine what it'll be like the week of!!

*Oh, I hear the rains/I see the fire/I feel the flame/It doesn't change/ All the faces I want to blame/For the spaces in between the shame/ I'm feeling.../ The Kingdom's calling/ The Kingdom's calling you*
