everything

I have been meaning to post so many things lately.  Everywhere I go I have a camera with me and I take some pictures just because I want to blog about them.  Then I get home and start looking at everyone elses blogs and find I have used up all my time and it is…

12 years home

12 years ago yesterday I saw the world upside down.  The lights from Phoenix were so bright that they drown out all the stars in the sky.  As my plane flew into Sky Harbor Airport it literally looked like the world had been turned upside down.  It seemed like a nice metaphor for me coming…

random

It’s been a while since posting so I just decided to put up some random stuff that I hadn’t gotten around to. Antoinette had her sixth birthday in June and all she wanted to do was learn how to ride a horse.  She was so cute and really picked up quickly. 

Puddlin’

Yes, I finally took the pictures off my new camera and so I will start filling my blog. (No promises though.) Well last weekend we were all wonderfully surprised by the rain that came down. Thank you to Merilee for bringing it with you. I always love it when you do that. Well Mer also…

ramble shmamble

So I know I haven’t posted for a while.  I think it’s a mixture of the heat, exercise (although I’ve heard that is supposed to increase your energy level), and the increase of children’s activities, but I am so tired lately.  I have been going to bed at like 9 or 10 every night.  Yes,…

So, as always, I am behind in writing. We have had lots going on so I am just putting up some pics to give you an idea of life around the Hird household. Also, check out ducklips photo blog on my links to the right to find out who the lucky winner is.

About Time

So, I thought it was about time that I start posting again. There has been too much in the last month or so for me to think clearly enough to share with other people how I’ve been feeling. Thanks to my wonderful husband, who has been posting a bit, you all know most of it….

New Job, New Time

After I graduated, I was doing interviews all over the place. I was talking to many head hunters here in Arizona, a couple in Texas, and a couple back east, in South Carolina and Kentucky, a couple in Portland, OR and a few in California. My favorite in all of these, overall, was the job…

Graduation

  Yesterday Stephen graduated from University of Advancing Technology with a Bachelor of Science degree in Software Engineering. Despite everything else going on, I was on a high all day. I am so proud of him! This has been 7 years in the making. He has worked extremely hard w/ school and always working a…

New Stuff

Well, I haven’t been on here in a while. There has been lots going on and that doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon. As you all know, Stephen was down sized last week. Even though it has been very hard to see him going through the grieving process over this, I have really…
