Post-Day Note: I get these urges to clean or rearrange. They are random and tend to be at wee hours of the morning. I call them my "cleaning moods". It hit me about 1:30am. I rearranged the freezer, fridge, and cubboards. A glass Coke bottle fell from a top shelf and shattered everywhere so I had to sweep and mop. Shesh! So I just finished and it's 4am. :) It was a good day otherwise. We woke up to a foot of snow and had trouble getting to car out. But it is pretty. I decided to cook meals for Nathan every day this week and next. He always cooks for me and my New Year's resolution is to be a better wife. So here goes! :)

Post-Day/Post-Week Note:

Wow, it's been a while! I guess an update is in store, even though no one remembers this still exists! I wonder if anyone read it even when I updated it daily. Anyway, I digress.

It's nearly 4am and I'm working 3rd shift at my job. I work in a group home of 5 mentally ill people who are also drug and/or alcohol abusers. It's very interesting, but I might be moving on. I don't feel I've gotten the respect I've earned lately...

My parents are splitting up. Last February, my Dad decided to leave us, but he hasn't gotten off his butt and moved out yet. So my Mom is planning on leaving soon. We'll see. It's been very hard. I'm passive-agressive, so I've been pretending it's not happening. I don't live at home, so I can almost get away with it. Except that it's not reality. It's been hardest on my sister and little brother, since they live at home still. 30 years of marriage...

My husband and I have been married a year and 4 months and I'm still enjoying it very much! He's an amazing cook and spoils me rotten! We don't have much of a social life, unfortunately. Partly because I work evenings and mostly because we live in Upland. We are too old to hang with the college students but too young for the starter families. Boo...

In September, we used Noah & Joy's wedding as an opporunity to visit a few of my childhood places! The wedding was ironically in my hometown in Minnesota and I got to attend my childhood church! It brought back a TON of memories, but most of my friends no longer live there. Then we drove down to my Iowa hometown and had dinner with my loooong-time friend, Brooks. My little 500-person town looks exactly the same! The playground I used to play on when I was 5 years old is still there! Wow! I was surprised at how well my 5-year-old memory served me! We stopped in Chicago both ways to see my brother and sister-in-law as well as Nathan's sister! That was a blast! Last, we stopped in Urbana to see my favorite friend, Christian! It was WAAAAAAAy too short and I need to convince him to ride the Amtrack out to see me! Anyway, it was a very good trip...

Oh, and for memory's sake, Barak Obama just won the presidential election! It's a wonderful achievement for minorities and I celebrate the meaning of this milestone!

That's all for now!

Much love,
Tasha M. Moyer
