Nothing in particular is bothering me. I'm just feeling off. I have felt more off recently than I have felt on. I wonder if that is because of all the life changes. I am sure that's all it is. But I'm tired all the time and just want to sleep and stare at the wall...

For my birthday, Chuck got me the best present. My friends kept telling me what I great hubby I had! He gave me money to go on a shopping spree with some of my best friends. He coordinated it with them and set us loose. I had a few rules I had to follow. I...

I have been slackin' on writing on here. I have had other things to do this week and certainly didn't have time with all the birthday celebrations to write over the weekend. I am still waiting on some pictures from our party from my brother, and when I get those, I will post some pictures....
