Boy it has been a while

It sure has been a long time since I have felt like posting anything anywhere. I guess you can say I am in a kind of a funk. I had an awesome road trip in August with the kids and my mom. We went through New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah and back to Colorado. We were gone for about 12 days and seen quite a few sites including: The Grand Canyon and Moab. The amount of people @ the Grand Canyon was overwhelming but it was beautiful and Moab was gorgeous. We spent time at my sisters in Las Vegas were we just relaxed and swam in their pool. When we returned it was time for the kids to start back to school and I joined them. I am acquiring my bachelors degree in nursing through the University of Phoenix. I am now in my fifth class and am enjoying it. In October I was dealt a devastating personal blow- which I will not go into here. It did open my eyes to how unhappy I am in my current state and how it is time to act upon it. A real wake up call. I am trying to persue personal happiness and keep a balance of that with the rest of the world. I know I can not become a hermit in the mountains for many reasons but the thought is very tempting. I am hoping 2009 will be more happy for me and all.
