Hello Again!

Life got in the way and unfortunately my blog was the first thing that got dropped from my life.  I have missed it and have thought about starting it back up, but just haven't had the time or energy.  Well as I sat in my school office, I decided that it was time.  Time for me to make time for me.  To give you an update, my bug is now 20, finishing her junior year in college, getting ready to start her TOSS and student teaching. She will graduate middle of May next year (2014) then 3 weeks after graduation, she is getting married.  My scooter is 18 and has dropped out of school.  He is going back this summer to the local tech school to get his GED and learn a trade.  He is the one giving us the most problems.  He is an asthmatic and came home last night from a friends house stinking of smoke.  His breath also smelled of smoke.  Not sure what we are going to do.  My little pony is still competing in horse shows and has done very well the last couple of years.  She placed 2nd in the flat under saddle class at the Georgia Hunters Jumpers Finals for her division.  All the while riding a rescue horse.  The barn she rides at is a rescue facility.  They rescue horses from the slaughter house and rehabilitate them and turn them into show horses. Watch for a post all about the barn and what we as a family do there.  It is an incredible place. Back to my little pony, she is still helping with the Girl Scout troop, but her Brownies are now Juniors and they are working on their Bronze award.  She has also joined a Christian theater company.  She has always loved acting and did several small plays with the school.  This has been a big step, but she loves it and is doing very well.  Their first production is coming up soon.  We are all excited.
