Wow, keeping up the interest, creativity and desire to write in the blog is very hard! When I first started the blog, I thought it was fun and I could not wait to jot my feelings down. Now... It seems to be the last thing on my mind. Not to mention that I am still working out the anger faze...

I think I have taken a turn for the better. So let me tell you where this started.... I had a lovely PEO sister call me early in the AM and said Tiffanie I would like to have dinner with you and Sophia. Let's not make it complicated, lets have dinner together in a way that is convenient to you. So this lovely sister came to my house that evening and we shared dinner and memories together. This sister is a very strong woman and who has traveled the world extensively and also married to a man who was in the air force. I always love to hear her stories. Then she invited Sophia and I to spend Father's day with her family. Sophia and I biked up to their home in Worthington and spent the afternoon with her children and future daughters "in-laws". I am thankful for their support.

As I mentioned, I am feeling better. We have almost completed 1/2 of our time apart. July 2nd will be the 1/2 way point. And no, it has not gone fast. Your life may have flew by, but not for us. I miss my best friend, and I especially miss the extra pair of hands to help with Sophia and the home.

So enough about that... As you know my great neighbor and friend Tricia Arthur has been watching Sophia and her son Jackson since January. I feel like a MILLION BUCKS when I drop of Sophia at her home. I knew that Sophia would be loved like her own during their time together. However, good things must come to an end. Tricia, her hubby Scott, and Jackson are moving to Minnesota for Scott to pursue a position with the Mayo Clinic. I have truly enjoyed getting to know them and being their friend. Tonight, Scott had a surprise B-Day party for Tricia where he made a lovely speech about his bride. He captured it perfectly..... So I am going to quote him....."Everyone who comes into Tricia's life falls in love with her passion, sincerity, goodness and walks away wanting to be like her, so they try, share and pass it on". I will miss the Arthur family and she does make me want to pass on her goodness.....

I would like to give just a quick update on Jerry's Dad. Currently he is in ICU at the hospital in Athens. They are struggling to keep his Sodium levels up. Jerry's sister Jennifer had been a wonderful caregiver for the family. She has a strong medical background and does a wonderful job of communicating to the family the doctors words. We are very thankful for all that she does. I will let you know more as I learn more.

Jerry is doing good. He is just like his dad where he NEVER complains. He compares his conditions to standing next to the air conditioner unit on a 100 degree day. (Hot air being blown on you) They are having quite a sand storm which he understands could last up to 30 days. He is traveling a lot to the airport, which I think really helps break up the monotony. I have asked him to write an entry and let's see if he can get a moment to do it. We are going to have some time together in Sept.

Good Night.
