Summer is upon us!

I feel so behind on blogging and need to clear my head of all the cobwebs!

So since my last entry, my Aunt died. She was found in her Vegas hotel room the day before my 30th Birthday... big bummer. She was fairly young and left us all behind puzzled and sad. My cousins are devastated and angry. One of my cousins lived with her as well as her 4 year old daughter and are now living with family as they had nowhere else to go. It's all just wrong! She texts me every day, she's so lonely and lost without her Mother.

As for turning the big 3-0, I will say it was fabulous! I was ready to close the door on my 20's and all the drama that ensued. My Husband gave me the opportunity of a lifetime and took me to CA Speedway to drive 30 laps around the track at 150 mph in a stock car ALONE, yep no one in the car but moi. It was AWESOME! I highly recommend it! Racing is in my blood and the experience confirmed my suspicions of wanting to race as a career. Looking into it, it's going to take a miracle to get the $ but I'm on a mission... NASCAR here I come!

My Grandmother has finished chemo and has no detectable cancer left in her body! The treatments did a number on her but she should be fine by the end of this year. She had the first stage of reconstruction last month and still has a positive attitude.

The kids are out for the summer... is it Aug yet? I'm ready for them to go back to school lol. We've had a very busy summer but they're all to the point of bickering and the time-outs are becoming part of our daily routine around here.

I registered for Fall classes at the local Jr. College! I haven't been to school since 1996... I'm READY! I'm majoring in photography and graphic design and will be taking night classes. I need this time away for me and I'll be doing something I love and maybe some day can get paid for it??

I created a new blog for Family updates but I think for now I'll not link them. I need my thoughts to stay separate for now.

That's all I can think of for now, I'm sure something will hit me and I'll be posting again :)
