My God, I did not realize just how long I had been gone... I thought I'd only been away from this site for only a couple of months, but I now realize that I have actually been gone for 6months... The last time I actually posted something was back in October. Oh Lord, it's been far too long.

So let me get you updated on my life (for those of you who actually care.) Hubby and I are doing really well now. We hit a rough spot a few weeks ago, mostly because I feel like we've grown apart and that we don't really know each other anymore. But we've started spending more time together and reconnecting.. Mostly just trying to get to know one another again, and it's good... We're good!

My kids are doing wonderful. We finally got their asthma under control but now with allergy season in full swing it's starting to flare back up, but that's ok we can handle it. It's nothing that we can't take care of.. When we took my baby girl in for her preschool physical last week ( yea hard for me to believe that come fall I'll be all alone) the doctors found a heart murmur. So they sent us to have an echo and today we found out the results from that. Thank you God!! She's fine, the doctor said that it was benign and nothing for us to worry about. Thank God!! Every night I count my blessings and I thank God for my little family and for the fact that both of my babies are safe, sound, and healthy. And now I have another reason to be thankful... And belive me, I truly am!!

As for me? I'm happy.. I'm working again. This time on a book of poems that tell a story about 6 characters... So far I'm having a lot of fun with it, but I've kind of hit a stand still. So until I get some more ideas I've started another project. This one I've gathered all of the letters that Tim and I wrote to each other throughout our relationship, and I'm gaining inspiration for a story about two lovers who face some hard times, including the fact that the man is about to go away to basic training and may have to go off to war. I'm excited about it, mostly because the characters are based on Tim and myself, which means exposing myself to the world. But I kind of already did that in my first two books... Which by the way are now published and ready for purchase from lulu.com.... It's a wonderful site that publishes you for free, which is a great place to start for beginning authors who can't afford self-publishing, and can't find a publishing company willing to take a chance on them. But for those of you who maybe willing to check out my books you can find them at lulu.com/Liz McDaniel

Well, I guess that's all for now, but there will be more later, I'm back into my writing mode, which is a great thing. So I promise it wont be six motnths before you see me again!!
