Reflections of 2007
Here we are winding down 2007 on New Year's Eve. I think Kristina is taking a nap and Justin and his friend Austin are outside playing football. James went to check out the fireworks down the street. I had to look at James' blogs from 2007 to be reminded of what has happened during this year. In January, James lost a good friend that we knew from Houston, John Searcy when they use to run a BBS (before the internet). James discovered IMSafer for the computer so he could track the kids online. That has proved to be a headache because it tracks all of Kristina's friend's comments as well that sometimes are not very good. Also in January of 2007 Justin had Pneumonia and had to miss out on school for about a week. The doctor gave him an antibiotic booster via hyperdermic needle and bam bam was very excited about that. I told Justin that if he did not get better soon that they might have to send him to the hospital. Justin proved that he is indeed our child and addicted to the Net when he pronounced that he did not care if he had to go into the hospital to get better but they had better have high speed Internet access. I just about split my side laughing at that one. LOL...
Thankfully since he has been in middle school he has not been as sick and has only missed maybe 3 days of school this year.
The end of January James started riding Carta Express to work and he is still using it. This has saved alot of money on parking and on gas since he goes downtown to work.
In February, James decided to change the main computer and his laptop to Vista. James is always playing with technology and if you go to our website at www.lightourworld.com and click on James' blogger you can read all about his techno stuff.
March 2007
James bowled his first 200 game at Sandpiper lanes and a 166 average. Now that is something for me to be HAPPY about. Last night I bowled a 145 average which is excellent for me over at Marrington Lanes.
In March of 2007 after we came back from a weekend trip to Myrtle Beach we discovered that our cat Bailey was missing.
He was later found and we think a Fox attacked him.
What is sad to me is that Bailey was not even a year old yet. He was such a good kitty and always loved being in my lap and sucking on the blanket. He will always be remembered and missed.
In April 2007 KC was adopted to the Moffitt household.
James suprised me in April by finding a kitten that needed to be adopted. He knew i missed my Bailey. One of the ladies at his work adopts animals and finds them homes. KC was found back behind a Kickin' Chicken in Downtown Charleston. We decided to keep the name KC but I usually spell it Kacey.
In April, one of the many times James kidnapped me and would get me out of the house and take me to a movie. This is one of the things we love to go do. We love going to movies. We also love playing Punch Bug. You know when you see a VW and say "Punch Bug don't punch back". Well we play this game. We have extended it to where when we are away from each other we will send a picture through our phones to each other. I love doing this! Course most of the time James usually wins this game.
May of 2007 we saw our daughter Kristina turn 15 and Justin turn 12. They are 3 yrs and two days apart. This next year will be very significant as Kristina will be turning 16 and Justin 13. We will have TWO ALIENS in the house instead of one. James affectionately calls Kristina our Alien because when she turned into a teenager there was a major transformation.
May is a busy month for us as we have three birthdays, Mother's Day and our anniversary. I was not thinking when i decided to get married on May 12 turns out that date sometimes falls on Mother's Day!
June of 2007 was the ending of my contract with Charleston County School District. They did not renew my contract which caused problems later on as I was not able to secure a job with anyone else to continue with my certification.
The summer brought sad times as two of my long time friends Paula and Melinda, whom I have known since i was probably 11 or 12 both lost their father's during the summer. This just brought it closer to home that my Dad is not getting any younger either. Unfortunately, for whatever reason we have not spoken to each other in the past 4 years since my brother's memorial service. I am not sure why we haven't spoken. It is not because i am mad at him or anything but somewhere along the way we stopped calling each other and there has been a dead silence. On another sad note, we lost a friend and church member in June. He was a vital part of the praise team and we will continue to miss Chris.
In August the kids went back to school. Kristina started high school and Justin began his middle school days. Neither one are fairing very well with the transition when it comes to their grades.
Usually both are at least B-C students and sometimes even A-B students but this year so far they have been lucky to bring home an A in ANYTHING!
Thanks to technology there is a new system in place where i can check their grades weekly by logging on to what is called INTOUCH. It is great so long as the teachers put in the information on a timely basis.
This is a picture of James and I at the park that is not too far away from us where we can walk to it.
One of the fun things we did not too long ago was go to the park and then have the kids meet us there with the monopoly game. We sat there for hours playing monopoly and when it got dark we took the game back home and continued to play it until of course James won the game. He usually does!
The next picture is a picture of Kristina and her friend Tanda at the park. Kristina is the one on the right.
Tanda and Kristina have been best friends for 7 years now. Tanda has lived across the road from us for those 7 years. And just recently they moved into a house in the next subdivision. Thankfully, it is walking distance and the girls are able to still spend time with each other and go to the same school.
Then there is Justin at the park. He is learning to skateboard. Unfortunately at this time i do not have a good picture of him on his skateboard. Maybe late i will get a good picture.
