blast in the past

(A partial post that I discovered never was published - til now) I'm a bad blogger.

Here's a few happenings that have happened in the past few months that are worth posting. We went on a very fun, relaxing, fun in the sun, all-inclusive trip to Cancun with my wonderful brothers and sisters. It was a trip planned to go with my parents, but due to health problems they had to cancel and could not join us. It was a wonderful to de-stress and chill and eat for a few days, the only thing that would have made it better would have been staying a couple extra days. We had a great time with my siblings and spouses.

(starting again on July 13th.)
I wonder if I can ever finish a post once I start. I guess I need to keep them shorter. I'll try to fill in some highlights from the past. There have been many but I have to admit some challenging times too, but like the title of the last post, I will try to focus on feeling blessed, not stressed.
Now I've got to try to remember the past. I am getting old you know.
Lexi finished up her Senior year which I was in total denial about. I can't believe that my baby has really grown up. Truthfully, this has been a difficult year, really the last 3 years on our relationship. We both had a challenge figuring out new family dynamics and with the change in our family it really affected her and me the most. She is an amazing sister to Lainy and they love each other so much. I am very blessed that they have each other.

Lainy took her Driver's test and now has her permit. She passed her test on the first try which is pretty impressive. She hasn't driven a ton, I've kinda put Steve in charge of that. She seems to be doing okay. The family (the dad) that she nannies for lets her drive his truck when he comes to pick her up. He's alittle more brave than I am. He let her pull in his garage, in his big truck and she bumped into the shelves. He was okay about it.
She finished up he sophomore year doing really well. She had a great experience in student government.
