but I thought I would check in and say 'hi'. That is, if anyone even remembers who I am.
How is everyone? I know I've missed lots and sadly, and I know I will never be able to get caught up. I did want everyone to know that I do think about you all quite often.
I've been here in CA for a year now. I can't even begin to describe how wonderful it is to be with Chris again. We are just so grateful. We are together as much as possible and plan to keep it that way. he has had to go out of town several times in the past two months (required classes as an appraiser) and the 'I miss yous' and 'I love yous' run rampant.
There is not whole lot to report on our house. Other than the fact, if you remember from last year, it was filthy, well it's now clean. That's about all though. Other than some simple remodeling basics like painting and a bit of flooring, we have done nothing. There is good reason for that though. Every cent we had (and quite a few borrowed pennies) are now invested in Ella Luna ~ Clothing for Women. After working at the clothing store in Mammoth last year I realized I was just as capable (and much more so than my former boss) of running a better shop. Lo and behold, Ella Luna was born, and we're now the owners of the only women's clothing boutique in Bishop, CA. I am the sole employee (well, Chris works for me every once in awhile) and even though there is no such thing as profit as of yet, it is keeping itself afloat. This is a situation I never ever pictured myself in, but I am thoroughly enjoying every minute of it.
Other news, I no longer have a vehicle. My truck was totaled Monday night. Yes, with me in it. I'll tell you what, you don't want to be in a car accident in a car without air bags. I'm fine, but banged up pretty good. It's interesting, just a few days before I saw an accident in town (Bishop) and posed the question 'how do people get in car accidents in a town as small as Bishop?'. Well, the answer to that is 'because 17 year olds without driver's licenses like to run stop signs'.
Our oldest dog Maddie is not doing well. We are going to have to make the sad decision soon to have her put to sleep. It's time and I know we are only putting it off for selfish reasons. We'll have to step up and do it soon. It's time. The other girls (Winnie, Luna and Ella) are all just fine.
There is a new niece, Whitney Carol, who we will rarely, if ever see. Our niece Avalon will be a year old next month and we have yet to met her. I've seen photos of her though and I still think it's crazy that my almost black-haired, black-eyed sister has a blond-haired, blue-eyed baby.
I don't guess there is a whole lot more to update you guys on. We're just very busy and still have satellite internet service (the only thing offered here). Don't let any one fool you when they say satellite is just as fast as high speed internet. I don't know how often I will be able to check in, but I promise to try to do so more often.
Donna, I am assuming you and John are as happy as ever.
Suzan, it seems I remember you having some qualms about your son's girlfriend. I hope that has situated itself.
Bunny, you've got some new grandbabies, don't you?
Rusty, Fran, CinCin, and anyone I have left out, I hope you are all well.
