I am so glad that 2005 is over and done with. In some ways this has been the best year of my life and in other ways it has been the worst.

Michael�s mom passed away in her sleep on the 31st. It is a very sad time for us and having had this happen during the holidays made it seem worse. I am so glad she is no longer in pain and is finally in peace. She had a rough time the last year but I know when she passed she knew how deeply we all loved her.

We had the funeral on Monday and took some days off work to get some things done.

I�ll post more later including everything else that has gone on.
