Almost 2.5 years later!

I actually had to search for my own blog so I could post to it again. I am going to try and post more often. There is just so much going on! We are headed back to India in about 2 weeks. This time for my other brother's wedding. He is getting married on 10/17, a day before I turn 40! Now talk about a noteworthy event...no not my brother's wedding! Me turning 40! I had great plans this year. I had told A that since this was a major year for us (our 15th anniversary) and an even bigger event-- ME turning 40! that I wanted to do something special, go on a trip to Europe, may be do Euro-rail or something exotic (guess that's not so exotic, Egypt is exotic but my husband thinks that since we're not going to exactly meld with the people we might be the first people to get shot :(..that I would get to spend it with MY family is the best thing that could have happened. I think I am going to love it.

Not to sound selfish and self-involved but I am really happy for my brother and his wife to be, I think they're both wonderfully suited for each other. I hope they get to be as happy as I have been ( I can only speak for myself) I can't speak for my husband. I don't think he's entirely miserable, but I could be wrong :)

When I first began posting to this blog, Diya was going to first grade. She is now in 6th grade...so have I deprived us all of a wonderful outlining of our everyday lives and then some? Don't think so, you haven't missed much!

Kids are growing, doing well in school (for the most part) and I have been busy as busy can be. This year I was working at Montco, I also took on a new position at my current place of employment...so the deal that my bosses came to was to continue to have me carry on in BOTH departments and positions for 3 months! Today is the day I got my freedom! I actually moved to my new department completely!!! but you'd better believe me when I say that wearing 3 (teaching, support, training) hats took its toll. A LOT.

There would be days I would come home and literally sat on the sofa and curled up in a ball. The only thing missing was the thumb sucking and rocking. Tears wouldn't stop, I dreaded heading back where I had just come from. It took everything out of me.

My husband was/is my rock. He stood by me and listened to me and held me through my crying. He is happy now and is hoping that working from home is going to help me (and in turn him) become a happier person. I hope so. Stress is NOT my friend, I am not sure if it does good things to other people but it makes me break out...I have my face to show as proof. right. now...it is awful..but anyway enough about that...

On to the 15 anniversary bit. Did I think it would be a bed or roses? Absolutely not, has it been a decent ride? you bet. We've been through a lot and continue to do so, but I think the fact that my husband has the kind of patience that he does has helped us get through the tough times..and our faith. Without our faith in my God, I wouldn't be here. My prayers are heard, my faith gets stronger and I get through another day thanking Him. He is my rock and my strength. Like I said, life's not been easy but everything that we need/want...we have..and then some! I think in this day and age to have ANY job is a boon, so for me to have 2! is pretty great! Extra cash never hurt any one :)

Anyway enough for now...hope to come back later!!!!!
