Faster than I can keep up...


So many days pass in between my writings anymore. I feel like I have given up. I've learned even more about myself since the last time I wrote. I may even have learned a lifetime of things since I STARTED this blog. I no longer am in the real estate profession. I have taken on a new venture of working as an account executive at an ABC television affiliate. I actually LOVE working here. I love the people, and there is so much excitement around me. "Buzz" as they say. Again, the road to my madness has lead me to sales. Perhaps it is meant for me to be in this field. Every time I turn around, I am hit with a personality test. Every test tells me that I am a sales-type person.

So, my life since 2005? I married my best friend. He is everything to me in more ways than one. His mother passed away last year, so it has been a difficult road to get him back to semi-normalcy. My oldest son moved to Oregon to be with his father. The other 5 children are thriving and growing before my eyes. I'm still labeled the "rock star" mom, and proud of it. Life passes so quick, it almost makes me sad in a way. I have more aspirations than I did when I was 20, but less time to achieve them. So I have decided that I am going to make a list. A bucket-list. Accomplishment checklist if you may.

So many hours, so many memories to process. More good than bad since 05'. That makes me happy. 4 years ago today I had butterflies swarming in my stomach. I married the man who made, and continues to make my heart beat. My life is passing by faster than I can keep up.

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! I had a moment of complete graditude today when I thought about how we used to be during the holidays. My heart is so full. May 2022 bring more laughter, good memories, and new exp

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!
