Appropriate Title? Life Goes On...

SO much has happened since I last posted.. 
I don't even know where to begin.  
I am slowly but surely going to get back to making blogger
a daily accomplishment... on my on going to-do list!  
MckMama's  "Stream of Consciousness" style 
would be the best way to fill you in on all... 
Well, some of the changes that have taken place in 
the Laney lifestyle over the past 4 months.

We celebrated my Mom's 60th Birthday, Easter, &
Hannah Grace & Zachary's Birthdays.  
Our good friend Chubbs married Meagan
@ a beautiful ceremony in Charlotte.  
We attended with the best company, Josh & Cristina.
Oh, & Monty & Marlene.  We had wayyy too much fun! 
My husband won the Hooter's golf tournament at Rock Barn... j/k.  
He did play though, does that count?


We saw several concerts...
Jimmy Hendrix Tribute & Alice in Chains were two.
April rolled around & we prepared for
our "2yearhoneymoon" to France.  
I had more office work to do that month than I wanted to do in a year
(but life goes on & I did it). 
A small volcano erupted in Iceland that jeopardized our trip... 
& then a bigger one didn't ever blow.  T.T.L.
We went to another wedding & visited friends in  Greenville.


We boarded a plane & flew across the seas...
We had shitty craptastic weather the whole time we were in Pari'
My North Face jacket caught on fire & I cried.  
We celebrated my 26th Birthday... I got a Longchamp & a Swatch, 
both of which made me smile!


We went back to work 2 weeks later & my boss had a change in heart.
Closing his company & changing careers. Fabulous! 
Perfect timing, you know.. Suddenly,
after taking a LARGE financial splurging trip & all...
I was jobless! Sheesh.
& pissed, and all the other words in the between.
On a good note:  I bought my computer from my boss...
for CHEAP.
So Now I CAN BLOG!
Yes...


& Life goes on!
I paid a lot of money to register for my licensing exam
& suddenly, I have all the time in the world to study.
Check back with me to see if I have used my time wisely... 
You know to actually study & not procrastinate.


 We went to the beach.  First with my mom & dad, 
then just me with mom & dad, 
then just mom & dad,
next whole family + children with mom & dad.
Laney loves the dog park.
She also loves to roll in the mud at the dog park.
& then hates getting the much needed bath afterwards!


I eat lunch with my husband almost everyday & I LOVE IT.
We went to another fab. friends wedding in Durham &
Caught up on the Flip Mode boys lives & their women.
I have inspiring lunch dates with friends & that is beyond refreshing.
We had a rockin' 4th of July party & the cops came... whoops
Laney loves to snuggle & really enjoys getting to sleep in
(with her mom until.. well too late in the day)
&  in case I forgot to mention...


 Life goes on!
My dad was in a "totaled" car accident, but thank goodness he is OK.
Sarah moved back to South Africa & I miss her.
My husband scraped his leg on frisbee golf & didn't cry.
We visited the town of Franklinton for the first time... I was not a fan.
& then had a mini massive panic attack.
(when Sarah sees this picture she might panic too, ha!)


But, as I said before "Life Goes On"!
& I am choosing to roll with the punches...
 & make the best of each day!

On a final note... 
I'm back to blogging, 
thanks for sticking around!

Wow! You've been busy! I'm sorry to hear about your job but it sounds like you're in a really positive place now.

Wow! I can't believe how out of the loop I am. So here's where I want you to go from here.

A) MORE pictures of Pari'
B) How did the Northface meet it's demise?
C)When are you coming to the heart of Catawba County so I can be included on the lunch date list??

I am so glad you are back! I missed read up on your life. After we go to Denver, Josh and I will definitely come up to see you and visit. I'm glad you are rolling with the punches. Keep your head up!

Oh dang, I hated to read about your job! My hubby is on the job hunt too, so I understand your pain. Hopefully this economy will turn around soon. It is hard to keep positive during rough times, but it seems like you are doing a great job. I'm sure Laney and Michael help keep you smiling!

Girl-friend! You have had a lot going on. Sounds like it's mostly good though. Your trip looks fabulous...sorry for the bad weather. :( And on the job front, I know it is so crazy and stressful to start something new, but God's plan is perfect! Hopefully your next 4 months are smooth sailing. Eventhough I know life is crazy!
