When Did I Get Old?

I've been playing on Facebook lately. I've found so many old friends that I haven't talked to in a long time. It's been great catching up with eveyone and seeing their families. 6th grade has been a transition year for Lexie. Boys, lockers, mean girls and peer pressure. We've talked about my time in 6th grade. I had my first boyfriend. We would hold hands, talk on the phone and send notes to each other. He gave me my first Valentine's gift, a box of chocolates. I still have the box in with all my school stuff and those love notes from Ben, that I will one day blackmail him with. I looked the old boyfriend up on Facebook and found him. Looking at his picture today, I realized that it's been 20 years since I saw him. 20 years! When did I get to the point that I could say "well, 20 years ago"? I see myself and Ben through the kids eyes and it makes me feel so old. I feel a girls weekend to VA coming up to remind me that I'm Heather, not just MOM. Robin????????

Still Here

So we closed on our new house on Halloween. We moved in the next day. It's been a hectic two weeks. My computer wasn't happy about the move and was low on the priority list. My wonderful uncle has been working on it for two days and has got it up and running now. We decided to make everything wireless and it was more trouble than it's been worth so far. The move has been great. The blinds are in and everything is unpacked. We all love the space and I love my new kitchen. I'll post pictures in the next few days. After 2 weeks of no computer, I have a lot to catch up on!
