You know, life really doesn't have to be that

hard. It has been nice around our house the past few weeks. A lot less tension and problems. I'm not exactly sure what is going to happen with Damon, but we love him regardless of his choices. Anna is doing pretty well at her new job. I'm surprised how well she can function while sleeping a lot less. She is a trooper.

Anyway, we are chugging along. Trying to plan our trip for this summer. Trying to fit in a family reunion type deal as well. Trying to make sure we can actually budget after mocking others who can't budget. Trying to treat each other with more respect and kindness. Anna's birthday is in a few weeks.
