Zombie Apocalypse

I haven't blogged in a long time....mostly because I feel like it's the same old same old.  I have decided instead to blog about random stuff that always seems to float in my head and simple things that are going on.


This morning, as I blog, Megan and Troy are in the kitchen cooking breakfast.  It's freezing cold outside; nice and warm in here.  I'm listening in their conversation as they discuss a potential Zombie Apocalypse, our family emergency plan, and what they would each do to survive.  It reminds me that the new season of "Walking Dead" is tonight! Oh, and if zombies attack, I highly recommend you come and hang with us---their survival plan is stellar!


So much has been going on--big things and little things.  The big event is that we are moving next month to a 3 bedroom, single level apartment.  We are excited not to do yardwork, no maintenance, and simplifying.  Megan is looking forward to the "community feeling" we get from living in an apartment.  Troy and I tried to explain that apartment living can be loud---and community feeling is hearing your neighbor's toilet flush!  Of course, we haven't lived in apartments in 20 years....so maybe that has changed.   Certainly the amenities have changed---this place has a cinema room, 2 pools, jacuzzis, exercise room, wood floors, granite counters, and upgraded fixtures.  Those friends and family who were around when we lived in El Diablo apartments in Tempe will be happy to know this new place is totally better than that place!

School continues to go well for Megan, Steven, and I.  Troy's work continues to be a challenge facing bureaucracy uphill every day.  But, that's probably the most predictible area in our lives:)  We continue to wait for the insurance approval for Troy's surgery.  Megan's bleeding episodes are well controlled for now.

As part of our simplying plan, we have gotten rid of a lot of CRAP!  Yesterday we had a garage sale aka crap sale.  It is amazing what people will buy!  Now that the garage sale is over, the garage is pretty empty and we can start packing the house stuff that will go into storage.  I love to putter around doing stuff so this will be good for me:)

We love and miss you all!
