Well, I decided to remove my last post. I have always used this blog to talk about my feelings, my raw feelings, but realize that the last post hurt a few people in the process, so decided to delete it.
So much for telling it like I feel. From now on, I'll keep personal feelings to myself.
Happy New Year

Sorry its taken so long for me to get back to this...its been a whirl wind around here. A lot has happened since August.
Here's a brief overview
Max's 1st birthday was on September 26th, so we had a little get together at the cemetery and then dinner afterwards. I miss him so much, every day.
We spent about 9 days cleaning out my grandparents house and getting things moved to Spokane. In early November, Charlie arrived in Spokane.
Thanksgiving came & went and then came Alexis Rene' Saddler-Ogren! This little angel was born on December 23rd. She brought a 'new beginning' to our lives and big smiles all around. What a Christmas gift...who needs anything else!
The new year brought many new challenges in live and lots of busy things going on. I had been prepping since October for the SAN Oscar Night Gala which would take place on March 2nd. Chairing this event and being the IT, Marketing, Designer, setup, teardown, etc....was lots of work, but felt like I was in my element. I did have to take the day after off due to exhaustion...ugh.
In February, Kris & Carly announced they were taking a bit of a 'vacation' from seeing everyone. They needed the bonding time...I get that. So, we met up for a quick coffee and holding session before Trevor and I left on our cruise for my sister-in-law Sandra's 50th Birthday! Lots of fun was had by all!
I was good...and gave the kids (they arent kids anymore, Ive been informed) a break from bothering them...and waiting to see them and Alexis until my birthday (Feb 28th). Had a very nice dinner with Trevor, Kris, Carly & Alexis. Made my night! After dinner we went to nyne to see Eric Himan perform. I had been emailing him about performing for SAN, but it didnt work out. He proceeded to sing me happy birthday at the bar. Was kind of cool.
The weekend was busy with Oscar Gala prep and the event taking place on Sunday the 2nd. We had a major snow storm that day, but ended up having a great turn out. Not as much money was raised as I had hoped, but the event was great.
Lots of familiar faces and some new ones. I was the chairperson for the event so did some face time on tv the week prior and the day of the event as well as having to get on stage that evening. WAY out of my comfort zone, but Im proud of myself for doing it.
I have lots of ideas for next year, but first have to push ticket sales for the next event, Witches' Night Off', in May.
Looking forward to spring....spending time in the yard prepping it for next year. I have found that when they added my patios in the back they moved the dirt so the water flows to the house, not away from it. My garage is flooding. First step in the spring is to rent a tractor and make some sort of a culvert.
Well, back to work...lots to do.
