I know, It has been a while...

Ok, so it has been a while since I updated this blog thing. I got busy checking out Facebook. In fact, I have discovered I love it so much more than Myspace. I have found lots of old pals from high school as well as from other places I have lived. I did not realize how many people I knew. Just imagine what that means. If I know that many people and so on and so on... then think of what one person could accomplish in this world. It makes me realize that I am not insignificant. It is kind of like the movie "It's a Wonderful Life" only, I did not have to have an angel point it out to me. We each touch so many lives during the course of our own lives.

Well, enough of the mushy stuff, lets get caught up with the Howards.


Unfortunately our beloved Bulldogs did not do as well as we would have liked. But, on the other hand, Richard helped coach the Camden County Wildcats to a win at the State Championship game in the GA Dome. This was a really exciting thing for us. He has been coaching for 5 years now and this is the first time he has ever been a part of something like this. The Wildcats did win state the year before he started coaching.

The kids had a fantastic Christmas. We really went overboard. But, that is what memories are made of.

Kayla will turn 12 in just over a week. I am feeling a bit down about that. She will move up in church to Young Womens. Time sure flies.

I have found lots of old friends and have really enjoyed that.

I decided to take a break from school, again. I should be set to return in September. But for now, I am just trying to be the best wife, mother, homemaker, etc. that I can be. So far, I am still adjusting. LOL.
