I've been neglecting my blog forever. I'm blame the neglect on facebook. Yes, I have been one of those facebook users for awhile now, and I get so caught up in status updates and uploading photos and looking at everyone's profiles.......well, poor little blog has suffered greatly. I have decided to rescue this blog from the pit of despair and give it a little face lift and some new stories. I will try to pay attention to it (although I will not be giving up facebook- I think I can do both!)

This comes at a good time since I have started a new chapter in my life. I am now a resident of the great state of Oklahoma- I never thought this would actually happen to me, but I have learned that when you say "I will never do such and such a thing", that thing will inevitably happen. God has His own ideas and admittedly, they are better than my ideas, though often surprising. So, I said goodbye to family, friends, church, and job that I loved, and made my way here- and incidentally, I am having a great time!
I have friends here- old and new- a new church where I can minister, and a new job.
And, of course, there are children here in Oklahoma. I miss my kiddos in Illinois, but I'm sure wherever I go I will be able to find children to entertain me! And entertain anyone who chooses to read this little blog!
