It has been awhile...so sorry




It has been a crazy few weeks! Mariah Jane and I transitioned into new schools. She has started kindergarten at Cale Elementary and I started a new year at Jack Jouett Middle School. Luckily everything is going very well......with an occasional blip here and there. Prior to school starting we were able to visit Williamsburg and Busch Gardens with Grandpa and Grandma Barbara. Busch Gardens is a beautiful park. I will definitely be going back soon. Once we returned Grandma came to help out with child care while I had to start back to work. It was SOOO nice having her here to help out. I had no idea what it felt like not to be a single mom. She needs to come visit more often...... Being able to come home and relax was so nice. I must say I was pretty grumpy for a few days after she left. I am aware of how lucky that I am having the sweetest little girl who is very low maintenance.

Campaign news! Mariah and took some big snack size sacks of potato chips to the Obama office on the downtown mall. This town is covered in Obama signs and stickers. The office is also looking more and more ready. The campaign was smart to place one of the offices on the downtown mall. They are also opening a new office near UVA's campus. Uh and WHERE is the McCain camp????? LOL! I've tried to keep an open mind to both conventions but I have to say I am embarassed by the news these days. A friend of mine who is a staunch republican told me that she saw Obama's speech and she is now on the fence. The news of the short vetting process of Palin has disturbed many. Anyway, enough politics for now. Enjoy the pictures.....
