Hi dear friends and family~ I'm afraid I have to apologize once again. I have not been good at keeping things up to date lately. I'd say things have been hectic but that would be a lie as they've actually been pretty quiet. I'm struggling with my creativity lately and wishing I could magically conjure it up. Not sure where it's hiding out but I hope it comes back soon!
On the Home Front, things are going well. Ali is excelling in school this year. We were talking just the other day and realized she hadn't asked us for help with her math in months ~ And she still passed with flying colors. She's a smart kid even if she always has her head in the clouds. She is still very much into writing and has several books started... now if only we can get her to finish one.
Cory's job is going well although we're still stuck with the Graveyard shift ~ things could be worse. Working for Juvenile corrections is so much different than working in Adult corrections~ makes for some interesting vent sessions around our house. We are still Care-taking the church property and it's picking up now that it's Spring. Keeping up with the weeds is a full time job and before long the mowing will start for the year. As for me well I got a new car and am enjoying the freedom that comes with being able to just get out of the house now and then. I've lost around 20 lbs this year and am feeling so much better. I am hoping to go back to college either this fall or next spring ~ I would like to get my degree in Graphic Design. My Mom moved back to Twin Falls from Indiana and I'm hoping to take her over to Walla Walla, WA this year to see my sisters kids. We haven't seen them in so long and they've grown up so much. As for my sister, all I can say is please pray for her. ~ Well that's pretty much it on the updates... Gonna have to show you my sweet ride now though~ LOL Hope to have better one's soon ~ These were taken before the summer wheels were on and the lighting wasn't great ~ It's really a gorgeous car. I thought (ahem) That it was a 96 Chevy Camaro but it's actually a 94. It's in pristine shape other than a few scratches that we should be able to buff out. The paint is an original from a shop up in Lewiston, ID. and my back window has their logo plastered across it which makes me laugh every time I see it ~ Hot Bodz and Custom Rods. We've got the custom Rod alright... the hot bodz part well, maybe when I lose a bit more weight. LOL
OK so here are the photo's I was able to get before we bought it. I'll update with the summer wheels as soon as I get sunny day.


Thought I'd toss in some pictures of Ali too ~ she's getting to be so grown up.
Every now and then I miss the little girl who needed me so much ;)


Oh and before I forget ~ Maxwell is now a year old and still as naughty as the day we brought him home, but he's a lover so all is forgiven. LOL Here's a recent picture of him telling me to get back to work ~ ;)

Have a wonderful week ~
((hugs)) Mechelle
