Well, Hello There!!!

Wow! It's been six months! And it looks like I have gained some Japanese readers! (Or spammers, who knows...LOL)

Well, as anyone can guess, a lot has happened since then. My two older daughters have started hitting their stride in school, and are doing extremely well! Maya is on the merit roll, and Nicolette wend from average grades to nothing but A's and B's, mostly A's!!! I am especially proud of her, because Nicolette has worked the hardest out of the three. Angela passed the TAKS test, and though she has to go to summer school for math, it's promotional, which means that she will be joining her friends in the fourth grade this year!!!!

Matthew and I are still going strong. Our relationship is strengthening, and we are becoming better friends to one another. We are much older now, and have been together since we were teens, so we are beginning to drop a lot of the pretenses that we have developed toward one another over the years (WITHIN REASON, LOL). I have more respect for him each day, and he is really working hard to try to understand me better. We still disagree at times, but we don't forget the important thing between us, and that's we love each other very much, and don't want to be with anyone else! When you know that you are truly loved, and loved just for being you, you work hard to keep that love alive.

We are getting ready to host our mother-in-law and her youngest daughter for the 4th of July again. The girls are leaving with them for the rest of the summer, which will give Matthew and I our much-needed (and much anticipated) break.

I've started working out regularly, and although there isn't much of a change weight-wise, I am leaner, my clothes fit better, I have much more energy and stamina, and am a lot healthier. I am doing this for my health and strength, not to look a particular way. I am pleased with the results so far.

I will blog more often, but I will only disclose what I wouldn't mind anyone knowing or finding out. In the age of public disclosure, there's still something to be said about discretion and keeping some things to yourself, pondering things in your heart, if you will, you know what I'm saying?
