Happy Day!  In March I turned 50 years old.  (First Event) So far there hasn’t been an age that has bothered me.  I don’t feel old, but I wonder where all those years went??  We also decided to move from our neighborhood that we had lived in for 10 years. (2nd Event)  It was time to get some space.  We were planning to wait a little closer to retirement, but why not right? We found a lovely house on 5 1/2 acres that we lovingly call the Farm.  With 3 dogs and 1 turtle plus all the moles in our yard, it is a farm.  This place wasn’t especially close to my school and after 12 years I really wanted a new adventure (3rd Event).  So I changed school districts.  I left Kirkwood and began teaching 5th grade in Union Missouri.  I only live 8 miles from school.  It takes me about 15 minutes to get to work, that’s if there is traffic. My son and daughter-in-law have been on a journey for years to start a family.  I get to meet my grandsons, Maddux and Griffin, in November.  (4th Event).  While on our family vacation this year celebrating 50 years of life and 30 years of marriage, my daughter got engaged (5th Event).  It is only September!  What will the rest of the year bring?  Stay tuned.
