Ok...I'm finally BACK!!

Yes everyone, I'm still alive! It seems when I'm at this computer my blog never gets updated. I wish I had a magic wand (or secretary) that could keep this thing updated! Someday ..... ok maybe not! hehe!

Well lots of things have been going on the last couple of months since I've updated this thing. The MAINEiacs have decided to stay another season (at least) but they didn't hire me back. Which is ok by me. I've now got a job working for a lady named Rose. She has a foundation that was started up in New York where she came from. She has now got the funding she needs to move it to Maine and really get it up and running. The foundation is a non-profit foundation that helps people/businesses in need and eventually will do some small business lending. She has asked me to go to work for her and help her run the business. It's a pretty casual setting (I can wear jeans most of the time...yaaayy!!!) and the paycheck will be a good thing after being unemployed for 4 months! Unemployment paychecks aren't that great that's for sure! But I am thankful they've been paying the bills at home.

If any of you read Darcy's blog, you've read that Mom, her and I all went to the Temple last week to do Nana Wiley's work for her. It was a super day and yes...I'll admit I'm the blubber head. But...Darcy did her share of crying too! So I didn't feel so bad...I learned she DOES have a heart after all! hahaha....juuust kidding Darcy! :-)

Last but certainly not least, I've got a pretty cool guy in my life. His name is Peter and of course....he's a musician. Yeah, I know...crazy huh? He's really great and we spend a lot of time together listening and singing country music. I actually officially met him when I bought the hall. I knew of him before that, but never really met him. Anyway, I hired his band to play at the dance hall. The band broke up about 8 months after that and he and I would see each other once in a while at music functions, etc. Well a few months ago he stopped in to the dance hall and said he and his wife were going through a divorce because she was cheating on him with his cousin (who actually lived two houses down from them at the time) for the last 6 years or so. I couldn't believe it! Anyway, so he was coming down to the hall just to get away and see some familiar faces from when he played etc. Anyway after a month or so we started talking more and more and eventually we ended up dating. It's a crazy thing the way it happened but it has worked great! I've been able to share my experiences after my divorce with him and he has with me and I think it's been beneficial to both of us. We have a TON of things in common....right down to our favorite ice cream.....Grapenut! Crazy huh? Who likes grapenut ice cream as their favorite??!!?? And...he likes BLT sandwiches...but no "T" just BL with mayo...just like me....nuts! He sings at the Spur with our band sometimes and it's fun to sing together. We are always picking out songs to learn and do and we just have lots of fun together. Anyway, that's the update on that! hehe!

Other then that....things are rolling along well. I hope I can keep updated on this thing! Ugh! I'll try and get some pictures up of Peter and I so the people that live far away can see him. :-)
