Life Moves On

Dear Friends and Followers,
Sorry I haven't been a very good blogger the past few weeks but life has gotten very busy. We are deep in the heat of soccer season and we seem to have at least two activities each night. In case you haven't heard Eric was not successful in his attempt at being elected to the Pike School Board. He lost by 38 votes. It is a number that will haunt us for many years (2) to come. We have already found 5 people who didn't vote who thought he didn't need their votes. We have learned how important it is to support what you beleive in. Everyone has encouraged him to run again. We have learned an enormous amount through the process. Some of what we have learned brings ah ha moments some just makes you mad. Anyway, tune in later to where we go from here. I have only 7 more days of school so I am looking forward to a bit of catching up.
The biggest news is that my mom has agreed to move into the condo. The housing market is just not great right now and it is such a nice place for her we are looking forward to having her close. Her move in date is the end of June.
Lastly, I had the priviledge to attend my oldest nephew's college graduation this weekend, Eric Peters. He received his masters in Hospital Administration and already has a job. I know he will be an amazing administrator because he is one of the most amazing people I know. I even got to see his son, Simon, he has grown so much and he looked so cute. I loved the turtles on his pants. I took mom so she could attend and she really loved it. It is so great to have happy moments to celebrate. Today I had to take Natalie to have a tooth fixed and her dentist said a friend told him never pass up a time to celebrate because there are way to many times we are attending not so happy moments. I am grateful we were able to be included and could rejoice in Eric's hard work. I know Grandpa Peters would have been extremely proud!
Well, that is all for now. I need to get ready for another busy week but know I am thinking of all of you daily. We went through some boxes at my dad's on Friday and it always amazes me how fast time flies by and we are left wondering where the time went. At my dad's funeral several people said they really felt like they should get a in touch with my dad the past year. They were grieved they missed the opportunity. Don't miss the opportunity to reach out to someone you haven't seen. They and you will benefit from the gesture more than you know.

Lots of Love,
Debbie
