Long time no blog...

What can I say? Six Months and no blogging, Whew! In six months, spring and summer has come and gone. We had a wonderful summer that included a girls trip to Chicago, swim and dive team, and a great trip to Destin. Baylee had an awesome summer. Every year she continues to BLOW ME AWAY with her swimming. She is such a natural. She glides through that water with such ease, so it seems. She spent her entire summer waking up early to get to the pool by 8am for practice. Her hard work paid off, she won many races and dive meets. We are so proud of her. School is back in full swing. Baylee is playing volleyball this fall for her school. Not only is she a great athlete, but an exceptional leader. She is the first to praise and encourage her team members. The younger girls really seem to look up to her as a leader. As for Michael and myself, we are WONDERFUL! We are still as happy or even more than the day we were married. The Lord has continued to bless us in so many ways. Michael is still working for Pilot Catastrophe. He is one of the top adjusters in his division. The consistent pay check is a "perk" of the job, unlike the real estate market. I just received a very exciting promotion at work. This job comes with a lot of responsibility. I answer to the "higher ups" in my company. With this new position, it opens the door for me to quickly work my up in the company. Like any new position, it comes with new pressure and stresses. I am grateful of a wonderful manager that went to bat for me and felt that I was capable of this position...even though I'm not to sure yet! Other than that, this bunch is staying busy and staying in the road or airways. Life is GREAT!

Congratulations! I'm up for a promotion as well. Glad to hear we're both excelling in our new careers. We need to have lunch soon.

Erica,
I've wanted to email you or call you for a very long time, but I don't know your contact information. So, this will have to be public. Serves me right, I suppose. A lot has happened in five years. I want you to know that I realize now, I wasn't as supportive of you as a friend should have been. I should have reached out to you more, been more encouraging; but instead I allowed my own hurt feelings to prevent me from doing that. I understand now just how petty my feelings were in comparison to the overwhelming emotional confict that you were dealing with. Now that I have gone through a similar experience, I realise how much you needed me, just to be there, as a compassionate friend. So, I know this comes much too late, but I hope it's never too late to say I'm sorry.
