Been a long time since my last post.

If anyone still checks this, wow, it's been a long time since I last posted on this blog. Things have been so busy, I have just sort of forgotten to update. So my dad is still @ what I still call my grandmas house even though he owns it and its now his house. He has chosen to start early social security due to lack of job prospects. It's too big of a house, too big of a yard, etc etc for just him, but he likes living there so thats all that matters. My brother is enjoying this recent spring weather and is jumping the gun getting in a garden to play with. He loves to be outside and play in the dirt! As for me, well I am packing boxes! We are planning to move in the coming months, although where is still up for grabs. We are thinking West Valley, Magna, Tooele area. I work in Salt Lake and he works in Tooele. So living in Utah county (Saratoga Springs) means we both drive an hour for work. Not a good thing with current fuel prices and economy. So although I am not sad to leave that particular house (as I never considered it home), I am sad to leave the area and the neighbors. I have loved living in a place that feels country but is still close enough to the stores and such to be quiet at the house but in 10 minutes I can be at the store. I love my nieghbors. I never knew there were still neighborhoods like this, I thought they died long ago. Neighbor helping neighbor, people caring about one another, waving at each other as you drive down the road, etc etc. With my husbands declining health, I can't tell you how many times my neighbors have been over to help me pull weeds, lend a hand with something I couldnt do alone, even bring in meals when he was just out of a hospital stay. I have come home to find the lawn mowed (by two pregnant ladies, sorry ya had to be there, it was very funny and humbling at the same time). I have enjoyed my time on Meadow Run and I will miss the area and the people very much. I know that when I leave there I will never have those kinds of neighbors again, which makes me even more sad. My dogs have had some health issues as well, then on top of everything else for Christmas Eric and I gave each other sulcata tortoise hatchlings (I know I am nuts to take on more). They are now 4 months old. As for the rest of the family, as far as I know everything is about the same in Billie's family. There isnt any communication between Billie and my dad or Billie and I for that matter. I do talk to her sons via facebook on random occasions. Cindy and her family are doing well. I talk to her kids on facebook a little more often than Billie's sons. Brande and her husband are still living with Cindy and her husband. Brande is building a home and so they have been living with Cindy since selling their old house. From what Brande told me they should be moving into their new house next month if all stays on schedule. Landon and his family are doing well. Ryan is also good. I still check Phil's facebook often and we speak off and on over the days. I keep telling myself to write Jim, just need to get the time to sit down and write it before I take the desk apart for my move. So probably next time I post will be post move. Hope all is well with the rest of you Heeding's. Ya'll take care!
