I have pondered a post today...since its our special day....and I don't really know where this may go...... I can't think of my life without Brooks probably because he has been there for over 1/2 of it....and he was even there before then, we just didn't know it.... When my mom and dad divorced in the 6th grade, we moved to Fox Croft Apartments. Well, there was this BRAT that lived a few buildings over and he was always into something...very sneaky! I remember a time when mom went running to the door to find this blonde boy selling candy (only to find out later he took the money and told the school he dropped his box in the creek...YES he was a bad boy)....mom ran into the bed post and broke her toe trying to get to the door.... A few years later my mom was a substitute at West and she had this kid that tried to smooth talk her.....(even then)..... So on October 4, 1997...Brooks asked me from the end of the hallway if he could call me before the football game...my r...

Where has the month gone...I can't believe such a short time ago it was 100 degrees and flip flop weather and today was barely short sleeve worthy..... I have had such a weird attitude lately, but after today I see that it is time to get in the mood and attitude of Fall....pumpkins, costumes, 5ks, Saturday soccer...etc..... We had a really fun weekend...hope you did! The warriors put 2 balls in the net, only 1 counted, but it was very exciting for the ball to go into the goal...especially for my soccer mom posse! We celebrated my grandmas 79th birthday last night and enjoyed some great food in West Jefferson today....such a fun weekend makes me happy! Oh and I even ended the day with a 1 mile run...after all the food I have consumed in the past 4 days...I felt it was necessary...I just hope that 1 mile will turn into more...SOON!   My boy in action!   Most of you know that 2 years ago this week is when my blogging adventures were born and most know it was because...

Finally bringing myself to "wrap up summer".....this was the best summer I think I've ever had...we had lots fun, made many memories and traveled often..... In June we visited Brooks' family in Washington State and spent some time in the FUN city of Seattle. We really enjoyed introducing our Britan to Brooks' grandmother and many aunts, uncles and cousins during our visit! The weather was cool and NOT humid at all during our stay which meant we had to purchase some winter clothes the 3rd week of June while in Seattle. We visited the Space Needle again and I hope that this time Bryson will actually remember it in years to come. He got a Lego Space Needle set while we were there so hopefully those memories will stay with him...and Britan enjoyed her 1st trip to the top...I guess we will need another trip in the future to make sure she remembers ;) We also searched for iCarly and Christian Grey, but no luck during our search....maybe next time??!!! The 5.5 hour fli...
