African Violet

Can you imagine the joy I feel right now? My son just came in my office (the 4yr old) with his sitter, holding a little African Violet. She said that he threw a fit in the store, because he wanted to buy mommy flowers! I am so blessed....

Grateful and Full

It's insane to me when I look back over the past 17 years how drastically different I am. I don't think I am even the same person. At times I feel like I have been transformed. I guess that is what life is supposed to be. A series of ups, downs, and mistakes until you get it right. I know I am sailing smooth right now. Fully aware that at any moment there could be a storm that I may have to face. But oddly enough I feel as though I am equiped to weather any storm now. Take me back to 2005, there is no way I could. I'm in LOVE with my life. I have the most amazing husband who just adores the shit out of me. My children are grown and giving us beautiful grandchildren. Dan and I both are at the top of our careers, with financial freedom and retirement on the horizon. What a wonderful place!

Life Keeps Going On - LIVE it

Update on my life. The kids are doing great. Man, we are so blessed to have such amazing adults. Jesse has moved to Missouri with Hannah to pursue a new career. Wade is busy being a father to my amazing grandchild. Gabby is back to school to be a nurse practitioner. Kaelan is still going to Spokane Community for a Criminal Justice degree. Emily is still at Whitworth College looking at getting into the psychological aspect of Criminal Justice. And Noah is finding his way still, but making it work in Spokane. All out of the house and living on their own without our help. Sometimes that is the greatest accomplishment in this day and age. I'm doing well with the Mortgage gig. I've never worked harder in my life, but I love it and the money is stupid. Dan and I are finding a new love of RVing. Every weekend we are either planning or going. I love spending time with him. After your children grow up you realize how extremely short life is. So we are just trying to liv

Next Chapter!

Well I did it! I passed my mortgage exam and am now waiting for an offer letter so I can resign from media finally. The feeling I have is a HUGE weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I no longer have to work for an industry that is treading water. That is exactly how I have been feeling the past year. Not like I am in a boat, rowing toward greatness. Literally in the water, exhausted from swimming, about to drown. Everyone that has half a brain has already or is getting out of the water. It's time. I am ready. Bring on the next chapter in the "Book of Michele"! New beginnings are scary, but Dan needs me back. My mental state has been horrible, and he needs ME back. Great things ahead!
