No Special Title - Just a Long time since an update

It has been way too long since I've updated my blog. I have finally decided to take the time and post some of what's been going on.

My daughter has decided to apply to Grove City College in PA, for early decision and we should know a little after 12/15 if she will get in under early decision or not. If not, we will need to sit down and get her going on filling out additional applications. We like this school, though we haven't been out to visit it yet, what we have read on the website and what my daughter has heard about it, it seems like a very good school. It is also reasonably priced.
We now play the waiting game on this and pray that she gets in since this is where she really wants to go.

Work - they are reorganizing the whole area and we are waiting to find out where we will end up working. They are splitting the area into 2 different sections. One that will work on development or long term projects and one that will work on the production end of things. We will know by 12/1 where we are going to work but in the mean time, all we know is management is having many meetings and we hear nothing. They tell us they don't know anything but when we view their calendars online, we can tell they do know more then they are telling us. Our department is having a hell of a time dealing with the unknown. We know as a department, we will be split up but we don't know who will end up where or who we will be working for. They promise us all a seat when the reorganization is complete but who really knows until it happens.

I went to visit Maggie for a few days in October. It was good to go down and see her and spend time with her. It is also hard when it's time to leave since we don't really know when we will see each other again. She hasn't been feeling well, she doesn't get enough rest and she really needs to 'train' her family to be more independent. She can't keep doing it all and expect to stay healthy.
And we all need to remind her family, that 'denial' is not just a river in Egypt.

Michele has cancer and has been going through chemo. Cami is doing a damn fine job holding up through this. I am proud of her. There was a time that Cami would have totally lost it if something like this would have happened.
I pray nightly that Michele will be okay and things will get better.

My friend Bernie has adopted a cat that has been named Shadow. This is by far the craziest of cats she has ever owned. This cat literally climbs walls and does a number of other crazy things. I don't even want to think about what Shadow will do with a Christmas tree. Does anyone dare to venture a guess?

My personal life :)
It's going very good. Robert and I have been doing a lot of talking and working through a number of issues. We both need to watch our finances and Robert needs to try and cut back on what he spends.
We have been talking about him moving in, but nothing has been settled yet. We have also talked about his son living here when the ok is finally given for him to come up from Jamaica and live here.

Robert actually said to me tonight, something I have felt and known for a long time: he told me that he loved me. I let him know that it's nice to hear said.
We have been doing a lot of talking lately. Trying to feel our way through things and learning and growing together.

I bet you all thought this would be longer considering it's been so long since I've posted but that about covers it. There's little things but these are the big things that are happening.

Until the next time.....
