Life in a Blender

It has been such a long time since I have posted anything.  So much has happened.  I have thought about writing so often, but my biggest hurdle has been where to start and how much to say.  Days turned into weeks, weeks into months and all of a sudden I have no idea of how to start again.

I feel like my life has been put into a blender.  Everything thrown in and blended up to the point of no longer recognizing it.  There is no yummy drink coming out to enjoy.

Lets throw all the ingredients out:

Vane's cancer came back
Still can't taste
Many trips to Iowa
Lamar was offered a new job in Iowa City
Calum pokes my eye and damages the Lasik

Constant PT appointments for Shi's leg

So...there is is.  A nice, neat condensed list of what has been happening.  Add a continuous stream of visitors and trying to get to know our new surroundings and you have a small taste of what has been on our plate.
