This is my last post here on this site. After posting yesterday that I was going to take a bit of a blogging break, I have decided to quit blogging altogether. I have blogged for almost 4 years at various sites and I was convicted of the fact yesterday that I need to be spending more time interacting with my family and real-life friends. So, I am returning back home to those people that REALLY matter to me. My daughter will graduate high school in 4 very short years and I need to be talking with her instead of blogging for people that I don't even know. My son will become a teenager next month and I need to spend time with him as he becomes a young man instead of surfing the net.
My job requires that I use a computer, but that is all I intend to use it for most of the time. I love the easy access of the Internet and the ability to find information easily, but blogging has just lost its charm. I will have this blog removed eventually, but didn't want it to just disappear without explaining what was going on. Not that it probably it matters to most people reading this - LOL! I wish you all the best and thank you for reading - not sure that I really contributed anything special, but blogging was a fun way to meet some neat people.
I am happily married to my high school sweetheart, a mom to two wonderful teens, and a daughter of the King. My
current focus is on becoming a better homemaker and caretaker of my home and family. You'll usually find my nose
in a book and I am currently making my first quilt. I love making new friends and comments are always welcome!
I blog when I want to, have the time to do so or the inclination to share something! You'll have to check back often to see
when I update my blog because there is no set schedule for me to do so!

I have had several blogs since I began blogging in 2005.
These awards are for my OTHER blogs, not this one.
However, I am trying to keep them all in one place so am displaying them here!
