That's life......

My life has changed so much since my last post. In case you didn't notice my last post was about two years ago. Why did I quit blogging? Honestly, I just fell into a routine of laziness. There is absolutly no excuse to document my life and journey into food. My life has changed so much since my last post. Here is the Reader's Digest version. My last post of Dec 12, 2009 and Christmas was weeks away. I was scheduled to fly to Mississippi on Christmas Eve until snow and ice hit Kansas City. I was hours away from take off when my flight was "CANCELLED"!! What was I to do? I loaded up in the car and drove 12 hours south. I made it to Jackson around 11:00 on Christmas Eve. I believe that trip I had a new found respect for family. It made me realize it didn't matter where you live, home will always be where with your family. My New Year's resolution for 2010 was to buy my first home. I started looking at the end of January. Boy, was this a nightmare. I honestly don't know how I got through it. I twas the hardest thing I have ever done. Everyone was telling me not to buy but my guy told me now was the time. I finally closed on my home in April 2010 and haven't looked back. I still believe that it was the right decision at the right time. I feel like it has help me plant my roots in North West Missouri. I may never adapt to this crazy Missouri weather but as the locals say if you aren't satisfied with the weather one minute stick around it will change. I feel that life kind of works like that! If you aren't happy with your life and the way things are going stick it out and it will eventually change. I hope that I can commit to writing this blog at least once a week. I honestly don't care if anyone is reading this but it's something I need to do for myself. I think that it would be nice to look back in a year and see what I have done with my life. I can't guarantee that every post will be food oriented but I do promise I will make mention of my culinary world. Tonight I want to take a minute (moment of silence) and introduce my favorite author in world, Virginia Willis.
