Last night, I went out with friends and as we wandered the aisles of the new TJ Maxx, I thought, "How blessed am I!" Here I am in North Dakota, land of my ancestors, hanging out with two friends who are so much like me. By the time we got home, my cheeks hurt from laughing and I was ready to face another day of mommyhood. Not that I was having a rough time, but it's good to recharge.
A lot of folks ask me if I still like it here and if I'm keeping busy. Yes! I've never been happier in my life. As for keeping busy, my family collectively refers to me as the Socialite. There's MOPs, Republican Women, Avon, story times, play groups, and Bunko to fill up my days. As if that's not enough, I just got my ND license to practice massage and I'm a co-coordinator of a new MOPs group starting this fall. God's blessed me with inspiration and time to write, so I'm working on a few projects. In the meantime, I'm planning my vegetable garden and compiling a recipe book.
