Update

It has been forever since I last updated this and almost had forgotten about it all together until a friend of mine asked why I hadn't updated. Well, we have had an enourmous amounts of changes to our lives. First, we lost our beloved cafe and were sad to see it go. We also had to move due to financial issues but it was a good move. We are delighted with our new house and our new neighborhood. Jeorge got a new job at Sweet Lorraine's and is back to a familar place. He still has a lot of friends there and is working a lot less hours. It is nice to have him around more and he is really happy being able to spend all this quality time with the boys. I have settled into my new routine of taking on the job of a stay at home mom. It is really rewarding and I feel blessed to have this time with my boys. I will eventually get back to work, but for the time being will cherish this time. I am on the mend with my anxiety issues. I am currently reading a book that a friend of mine lended to me called natural relief for anxiety. I went thru a rough patch after my dad passed away and was having weekly panic attacks. I was to the point where I couldn't even walk to the back of a store because of the fear of being trapped. Anxiety is a very hard thing to deal with, people that don't have it can't understand the magnitude of your emotions and why you can't do certain things. I am to the point where I am active again and getting out and doing all my normal activites. I still have issues from time to time but am feeling more myself again. I also had a health scare a few months ago with a nodule I had on my thyroid. It was biopsied and was told it was benign. I have to get it rechecked with an ultrasound soon to make sure it hasn't grown. The kids are doing great! Jack has almost earned his green belt in Karate and has been enjoying playing outdoors and studying geography. James is our fearless child. He is already riding his dirt bike and climbing everything he can possibly climb.
