Happy Leap Day!

It's that time again...once every 4 years!  Happy Leap Day!  Enjoy the day and make the most of the extra time!  I'm always saying "I wish there were more hours in the day."  Well here's an extra 24 hours!

I can't believe 2 months are almost over of this year.  I got some sad news yesterday.  My college roommate's husband passed away on Saturday.  I do not know what he passed away from.  He retired from the marines and NY.PD.  He escaped from 9/11 without a scratch.  Someone had asked him that morning to drive them to the twin towers but he had been working the night shift and someone else offered to give that person a ride instead so he could go home and sleep...and that other person died in the nightmare of 9/11.    We were roommates when she started dating him.  I was in their wedding.  My hubby went to the wedding too....it was so long ago (their 20 year anniversary would have been this June) that my hubby and I were still dating at the time!  I am so sad.  This news hit me pretty hard.   I don't think he was sick beforehand.  But I haven't heard any details just that he passed away and she said it was devastating.  They have 2 kids.  One in college and one in high school.   I was saying how shocked I was, and my husband reminded me that he (my husband) almost died about 6 years ago.   My youngest son was only 4 months old at the time he got sick, and it lasted about 2 years.  That was a hard time for my family.  But we came out on the other end ok and we grew our family and added a daughter afterwards too.   We are the lucky ones.   I wish I could go to the funeral, but they are in New York.

In other big news, I gave up FB for lent.  I read things occasionally on there, but no posting or commenting.  My oldest son starts high school in the fall.  We have been busy trying to decide which high school he will go to.  Baseball tryouts happened recently so that means I will live at the baseball fields 7 days a week!  Zack's travel team plays games on Saturdays and Sundays and between the 3 boys, practices will be most days from Monday-Saturday.  But I secretly love it!

Now it's time to start working on me again and working out and eating healthy and getting back into shape.   Time to "leap" off of this computer!  Haha!
