2 years

it's so hard to believe that it has been two years today since the transplant. but then in other ways it feels like forever ago. so much has changed since then. so much is different. all day my mind has been replaying over and over me walking into the surgery waiting room without nick and seeing my mom, julie, natalie, chelsea, jill, adaira and alivia waiting for me in one of my weakest moments. i think i keep seeing them because i miss them all so much right now and i know they are missing owen today. 

i'm so behind on this blog i don't even know where to begin. i think i'm just going to start from right now and do my best to keep it up. Halloween is soooo much our holiday with family and friends, it's really got me missing kc right now. i just need to get thru this next week then i think i will be back to normal. (not that i think i was ever normal to begin with) Owen is doing absolutely awesome health wise. we are still trying to figure out the best place for him with school. we just had a big evaluation meeting with his school this week so i'm willing to give it a little bit more time to see if works out for the better before we really start exploring other options. Livi is doing awesome in school. she has all A's with one high B....since when is a 92% a B?!?! she has also made quite a few friends in our neighborhood. they knock on the door daily for her to come outside. Noah is still his sweet little stinky self.  

we don't have a trip back to kc planned anytime soon.  :-( we are worried about driving back in the winter and possibly getting stuck/snowed in somewhere.  we do have a big i mean HUGE surprise planned for the kids for christmas ;-).  the weather is absolutely perfect here right now.  we've had the ac off for over a month.  last weekend we drove this scenic route highway  to see all the fall colors of the leaves in the mountains.  it was beautiful!!!  i love fall leaves!!  Nick starts a new positions with QT next week.  he will be a store opener/manager.  he is really excited for the change.  i started working part time in a salon/spa about five weeks ago.  it is defiantly not hair spray cafe, or even anything close. :-/ but it gets me out of the house and talking to people again.
