Am I an odd duck? Occasionally. I'm sure many of you have had this thought cross your mind about me. It's okay. I'm trying to take criticism with a grain of salt these days.

I have a hole in my heart lately, for my favorite community, Hub Pages. All of you whom I consider a friend here, you know who you are, and I apologize for whisking myself and my family away in the night, without sharing a single word. I will explain as soon as I have more time.

I must let you know that I have moved to Oregon, from Minnesota, with my children and husband. Things have been going extremely well. Of course life was the perverbial roller coaster for a couple of months, trying to make a move halfway across the country will rock anyones socks. My children are happier by the day as well. My 12 year old daughter's report card was 4 A's and 3 B's, she had been struggling for a couple of years, no doubt as a result of me and my husband's woes. We're so happy to see her back to herself again.

My ten year old son is back in wrestling, just started last night. He's in 5th grade now, has been in wrestling since he was a wee one, only 5 years old. So, he is totally stoked now! He's a beautiful child, such a sweet heart with a dash of macho.

Tyson, the 1 1/2 year old is as adorable and adventurous as ever! He's the most wonderful child and boy does he keep me on my toes. He is so smart! All children at his age are much more adept than many of us toe-brained adults give them credit for! He's an amazingly wonderful child! I'm so happy to have my children back, emotionally. It's one of the best times of my life right now, re-growing my family.

I don't have the internet at home yet, maybe within a couple of weeks, so I'll be back soon.

I miss all of you to pieces! Can't wait to share more of my recent adventures with you:) Hugs
