I am kicking myself for not posting in a while. I truly love writing about what is happening with us and especially going back and reading what I have posted in the past. I am going on a 30 day post binge. I pledge to post every day something, even just a hello.
We were in Durham for the week of April 2-12.
I first want to mention that Doug and I welcomed our 14 year anniversary did I just type 14 I am in awe of how long we have been married but if you can believe that we have been dating for 19 years wowowowo. Doug had been in Durham a few weeks before we arrive on the 2 so we missed celebrating our anniversary on April Fools Day. Doug had the house so perfect with beautiful flowers and oh so clean. He had purchased great snacks for the fridge and all the special drinks we like and miss. I know I have the best husband, father and friend that anyone could ever dream of :-)
We were excited to have our Dominican friends Judy and Omar visit for the weekend and for Drew and Omar to have a visit to a school that they are interest in attending next year. We were busy with school, friends and life in the south?./?
Judy and Omar headed back to the Dominican Republic on Monday morning and I stated my doctor marathon with Mariah and Drew. Mariah had her educational evaluation on Monday and Wednesday and the results are indicating she has a learning disability and ADHD. I knew she was ADHD and well we will deal.
Doug, Drew and some of Drews friends had a blast going to the Dean Dome and watching the final four game and then heading to Franklin Street for the wild celebration.
We visited Dr.Betty on Tue and Drew and Mariah got checkout and such. All is well.
We had fun seeing movies and hanging in our Durham house. Did I mention how cold it was? Mariah's lips were so chapped. We departed Durham on Easter and the kids and I flew Delta while Doug was on American. We arrived in Dominican Republic at 130pm and Doug arrived at 430pm.
We had a super Easter Egg Hunt at Peggys and she prepared a great dinner. What a great friend she is just like a sister.
I am stressing over where Mariah will go to school but know that all will work out for the best.
Mariah was in trouble again this week Wed to be exact...Writing on the sidewalk "I LOVE SEX" and putting a heart around it she also wrote that she hated a classmate.. (I thought she couldn't spell) The principal and teacher agreed that her punishment would be scrubbing the walk with brush, soap and water. Must I say she enjoyed this..AHHHHH
Doug and I were chatting that we had always thought that "bad" kids must come from parents that are not doing anything at home etc. Well must I say more we feel pretty crappy.
We attended New Life Church today as a family. I had gone with Mariah before with my great friend Judy and Mariah but never with Doug and Drew and only one other time in the year and a half we have been living here. I really enjoyed the off tuned music and the super friendly pastor and congregation. I am thankful we have found this English speaking church...The only one I might add or that we know of on the North Coast. Thankful for all the blessing we have been given.
Peace to you,
M
