</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">i really didn't think i would blog again any time soon... i'm surprising myself right now. a lot has been going on in my life in the last five months...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>january:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">we couldn't afford living in our home in laguna anymore so we moved to lompoc (just north of santa barbara) to live with my mom and step-dad </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">got the kids situated in their new schools</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">got ourselves situated with our new life</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>february:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">dan's little sister got married</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">our armada got repossessed (so that makes two cars taken from us)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">dan's grandma goes into the hospital and is put on life support.. all her organs were shutting down and she had sepsis but praise God she made it through and now is well</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">dan got offered a job in houston, texas by my brother in law and moved in with him, my sister and their kids</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>march:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">the kids and i adjust to dan being gone</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">we send a car package to dan for his thirty-first birthday<br />
<br />
tyler places third for the <a href="http://www.surfwsa.org/">WSA</a> in morro bay and gets a trophy</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">we miss dan terribly</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">i become obsessed with <a href="http://www.har.com/">HAR</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>arpil:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">the kiddos have spring break</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">i celebrate my thirty-first birthday</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">friends and family love up on me<br />
<br />
we go to burlingame (san fran) for my nieces birthday and have fun with family</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">we start paying off debt</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>may:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">we pay off both of our cars </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">we pay off our credit cards</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">we are slowly but surely coming out of debt</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">the kiddos and i have gone three months without dan<br />
<br />
my mom, gran, aunt and i go to an antique fair in nipomo that was featured in country living mag... i was so excited but turns out it was over crowded and everything was priced way too high. i had better luck at the antique mall in arroyo grande</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">i'm still cleaning and cooking (my moms house) as payment for letting us live here<br />
<br />
ty ranks 11 overall for the <a href="http://wsa.alwayssports.com/ViewStandings2.cfm?SDID=336&SID=11&OR=1">WSA</a> in his age division - we are so proud<br />
<br />
tannyn is in alice in wonderland with the local theater group and plays a flower - i made the flower head pieces</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">memorial weekend i fly out to visit dan... it was such a nice reunion... got a lot of quality time in, hung out with <a href="http://www.muchomuchobuenobueno.blogspot.com/">brandi, kelly and jacob</a>, looked at houses, stayed with my <a href="http://www.mannland5.com/">sister</a> and her fam, went to galveston, fished at dan's secret spot and just had a great time.... </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>june:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">today... </div><div style="text-align: center;">missing dan, kids last day of school is tomorrow - taking them to the beach after, summer round up at santa barbara bowl with <a href="http://bacwoodsfern.blogspot.com/2010/03/little-peak.html">christina and kim</a> on friday, some possible camping, maybe a road trip to san fran to see my brother, my sis in law and kiddos, still obsessed with <a href="http://www.har.com/">HAR</a>, and praying and praying that we find a house (and a car) so we can move in july</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">so there is a little run down of what's been going on (i i left a lot out) for those of you who are still interested in reading my blog. once we move, i may just be making a come back!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">well guys, i had a post all planned for you but blogger is being lame and telling me that my storage for photos is full and that if i want to add more photos i need to purchase more storage... what the heck?! i don't have the money to waste on this (sadly) so therefore i just might be ending my blog... since i HATE writing a post without a photo in it... and i'm not a fan of using other peoples photos... bummer. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">so on the day of my one year bloggiversary i just might be calling it quits</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">one and done</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">UNLESS</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">any of you can tell me how to get around this... i'm not sure how to delete the photos that are already in storage to make room for new ones <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">(and yes </span><a href="http://mannland5.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">keel</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">, i tried what you said and didn't work)</span> - have any of you come across this? and if so, how did you go about deleting photos?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">we'll see if i continue this adventure or not...</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">i've enjoyed the ride, 'meeting' you and interacting with you via the web... it's been fun. thanks for a fun year my readers and friends.</div><div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">you may or may not have noticed these little pumpkins in the previous post...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">i wanted some fall decor, found <a href="http://thompsonfamily.typepad.com/thompson_familylife/2009/11/fabric-pumpkin-tutorial.html">this tutorial</a> and decided to try it out.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">they were fun to make but they would have been more fun if i had had the proper tools... i ended up chipping a chunk of my tooth pulling the needle while making the lines on the pumpkin.. that's the last time i pull a needle using my teeth!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">so this morning i noticed daniel staring at me with a really ugly expression... he proceeds to reach for my hair as if he was going to get some fuzz out of it or something. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">this is what happened next...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">daniel (in a really disgusted tone): "you have a gray hair!" </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">me: "ahhh don't pull it, i love my gray hairs!" </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">daniel: "but it's nasty... it's so long" </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">me: "don't touch me! leave it alone!" </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">daniel: "ewwww that's just gross"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">bummer, my plan was to just go gray naturally... guess that isn't happening anymore!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">the fam and i are headed to santa barbara to see my dad tomorrow. my aunt from wisconsin is in town and my brother and his family will be in town from san francisco. we'll be celebrating my dad's 61st birthday. i love going up north and seeing my family! on sunday tyler has another WSA (world surfing association) contest in ventura so we'll be there bright and early for that. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">speaking of surfing, at our old local spot where my boys would surf (surf beach in lompoc, ca) there was a fatal shark attack on a sponger (body boarder) - scary! he was a twenty year old UCSB student... so sad. whenever we go up to lompoc to stay with my mom, my boys always surf near there... now it makes me more nervous than it normally does. ugh. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">my prayers go out to that boys family.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> i had to step outside to get better lighting... it's dark in my house today due to fog and drizzle (which i love)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">i got inspired by a post over at <a href="http://www.elsiemarley.com/birthday-crown.html">elsiemarley</a> - she made a pretty birthday crown for her daughter so i thought i would do the same for tannyn. mine didn't turn out nearly as pretty as hers did... but i'm hoping that tannyn will like it. tannyn turns six next thursday so this weekend she has a friend staying over for a sleepover and we're going to take them to the pumpkin patch (at tannyn's request) on saturday then on sunday we're having a family birthday for tannyn at our house where i'll give her the crown - i hope it fits!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">thanks so much for all the kind words from the last post... isn't it nice to realize that the little things in life can bring so much joy? </div><div style="text-align: center;">tayli and i are watching <a href="http://www.filminfocus.com/babies">Babies</a> right now... have any of you seen it? we are so privileged in this world we live in... i'm in awe of the mothers in this film. it makes me realize more than ever that material things just don't really matter...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">on another note, i hijacked my sons camera and was able to get a couple of photos of my new haircut. a couple of weeks ago i cut a couple of inches off my hair (i've been doing my own hair for years now) but i wanted to go shorter, so my mother in law came over and cut a few more - this is the shortest it's been in three years and i love it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">dan's on commission only with his new job and it's hard on us financially, we have no health care, we have one car that works, tayli broke my camera, i've had a cold and have been soooo tired the last couple of weeks... but despite those little things that are not particularly great, i'm still finding joy in some little things... </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">i'm loving this weather we're having right now... it's been drizzly and cloudy the last couple of days and it's raining today - pure bliss</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">i had a nice quiet time reading my bible outside on the patio with the rain falling around me this morning</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">the mossy tree stump in my yard makes me happy - if tayli hadn't broken my camera i would take a photo of it to show you... it really is so pretty</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">i made a super yummy, super easy mac-n-cheese last night</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">(if you want the recipe let me know)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">reading books with the girls after tann gets home from school</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">watching the girls sing and dance and practice their swan princess moves</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">finding out that tyler is texting a girl that he likes while under his covers when he's suppose to be sleeping</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">(he's growing up so fast)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">my nightly jogs with ruca dog and enjoying the beauty in my neighborhood</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">playing solitaire on dan's ipad and having him get jealous that i win almost every game while he can barely win one</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">coffee and alone time while tayli naps</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">at home movie dates with dan my man almost every night</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">since my camera is broken and as of right now i can't afford a new one, you can expect random photos on my blog that have nothing to with what the post is about <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">(i'm a fan of using all my own photos... no </span><a href="http://weheartit.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">weheartit</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> for me) </span>and probably some wordier posts... </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">i hope you are enjoying this week and finding joy in the small things</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">even though today was the last day of summer vacation for the kiddos, it sure as heck felt like fall. it was cloudy and chilly and the perfect day for baking so today we decided to make little bit o' chocolate bars, which my mom has dubbed wheat germ bars. my mom got the recipe out of some cookbook from the late 70's early 80's with healthy kid friendly recipes. wheat germ bars were a staple for me growing up, i ate them often for breakfast since i loathed milk and refused to eat cereal in the morning. not only are wheat germ bars great for breakfast but they are delicious for dessert too.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
