Catch Up!!!

Ouch! So it's been a while since I wrote on my blog. Go figure. I can never seem to keep up with things like this. Maybe it's because I really don't want people to know about what I am doing with my life, or maybe I'm just lazy to type about it. I do want to keep this going however. I am trying to use this as a way to keep my extended family updated on the events in my life. So, I'll keep at it.

So, a lot has occurred over the last couple of months. I had an issue with my car. Apparently, my spark plugs had fouled up during the winter and would no longer start my car. It was an effort to get the car out of my work's parking lot (a lot of security to deal with), but at least everything was covered by the warranty.
Spring finally came to New York, kind of. The weather has warmed up, and then it cools off every so often. We've even had snow a couple of times since the beginning of Spring. But, Juri and I managed to clean out our garage and she also cleaned out the toy room. I'm going to put the arcade cabinet in there once I'm finished with the construction. We even managed to get rid of a lot of old junk during a garage sale by making it free.
Maia got a new "big girl" bed. We gave away her toddler bed and bought her a twin sized bed. She sleeps much better at night now! We even got her Disney Princess bedding. So now, she sleeps with Belle, Aurora, and Cinderella every night.
My family has made friends with my friend Jesse's family. My kids love their kids and their house, their kids get along with mine really well, and Juri and Melissa have hit it off! It's great having new friends around. I'm just ashamed at how long it took for us to get together. It took one year and that nasty power outage!
I joined my work's section's softball team this year. We went out to get a softball and glove. I've been breaking my glove in, and Jesse and I are planning on doing some practice. Juri is really excited because she loves the whole family sports thing, and I'm excited that I get to spend time with both my friends and family at the same time, plus get some much needed exercise.
I got strep throat recently. I've been on penicillin and now I'm pretty sure that the infection has subsided, but I have to finish the medication until it is all gone. Ten days worth of pills, with two pills at four times a day. That's a lot of meds!
Kingdom Hearts II has descended upon our household! The kids appreciate it for all of the Disney characters, Juri and I appreciate it for the Final Fantasy tie in and the story, and Sean and I love the action and gameplay. It's been a nonstop event for the past week in this house. In fact, the kids are bothering me about it right now!!

Well, I think that catches us up. Coming up is Juri's and Maia's birthdays. I hope Juri is happy with the presents that I bought her. There are some unexpected surprises in there! Maia will, of course, love her princess party. Juri has done such a great job planning this out.
