I'm going to try to be a whole lot better at keeping up with this. I absolutely love it but seem to not have time to check in and write what's going on and everything. I'm not sure how much I'll remember from the last year but here goes. September 2009 Tom's mom moved out and moved into the new Worley Terrace apartments over on Central Ave. She loves it. October 22nd 2009 Tom and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary. In the end of November 2009 my dad moved in with us. December was a blast with Christmas and family and all. Tom bought me my very own laptop for Christmas! I got to see my best friend Nancy when she visited Ohio. In January 2010 my dad met Lisa his girlfriend. He went from being like Eeyore to being so happy. She has a 6 year old named Brandon and an 8 year old named Jacob. They are amazing but sometimes a challenge as well. In February I wen to see Mariah Carey in concert for the first time ever. It was amazing and everything I had hoped it would be. I paid $150 for my ticket and got into the 11th row. She was right there! It was the best ever. Tom and I celebrated Valentine's Day and I don't remember much else about that month. In March 2010 I had my third miscarriage. It was the worst yet and I feared I would bleed to death. My husband Tom stood by me the whole time though. He's the most amazing man I've ever met. In April we celebrated Tom's birthday and my boss Brenda at the library retired. In May great grandma Ann became really sick and died. She was like a mom and I miss her terribly. She was an amazing woman. I can't say enough good things about her. We did a lot of cookouts with us and Dad, Lisa, Jacob, Brandon, and my little brother Shawn. We had an awesome time. We went to Blendon woods and played Frisbee golf which is so much fun. We went to a picnic that Jared and Erica invited us to in that very same park. In June the kids got out of school and I celebrated my 27th birthday. Lisa, Jacob, and Brandon moved into the basement. The library was crawling with kids and we were all going a little crazy at work what with no Brenda and all. In July we decided we would not go to Red, White, and Boom like normal because we just wanted to relax and not deal with it. We ended up going to Beulah park in Grove City to watch their fireworks the next night. Shawn went with us and it was definately worth the $5 to get in and park. The fireworks were awesome and since we left slowly while the grand finale was going on we missed 90% of the traffic. Toma nd I also wen to see Bret Michaels in concert for free. It was our first concert together. In August we got central air in the house which was so amazing! It was staying in the upper 90s in the house and even Teddy(my cat) was feeling it. He was walking around panting and everything. Shawn started high school as a freshman at West. He seems to be doing good there. We celebrated my dad's birthday on the 27th by having a spice cake with carmel icing that I made and he requested. It wasn't anything major though because Tom had knee surgery that day. He had a torn meniscus and some other stuff so he was mostly laying around until the next week. We took 2 weeks off together and then he took 1 more week off without pay because he just wasn't ready to go back to work and have to get up and down in the work van. There I've caught you all up. Now with the current happenings. Dad and Lisa are still together and they're looking for a house to rent to own. The problem is they have no credit and my dad has a record from when he was a teenager. We've been going to Tom's mom's house every week now for almost a year. It's fun and I've started watching M*A*S*H and really liking it. I'm addicted to playing family feud and the price is right on Facebook and I'm addicted to Facebook in general. The library has a levy coming up in November 2010. Vote Yes on Issue 4! I'll update soon.
