Oct. 09 Just a few more pic's
Update for October 09
Hello to all...
Not so much has happened in the last 4 months that I have been home without seeing my babies..Lynn and I are good. He still travels on weekly basis..usually every week or two he will go out for a few days to a week. He always is home for the weekends, so we get to golf on Saturdays and Sundays together. I of course play more than that, but don't want to rub it in too bad...ha
All our kids are good. My Mom is still doing very well. She just turned 81 and is great. I get to see her soon, too. My Mother and Father inlaw are doing well too. Dad just had another treatment, they catherize him and shoot chemo beads directly into his liver...and it doesn't really make him sick, just very puny and weak for about a month...then he starts to gain strength again, and goes on with life. Life has been good to him. He has lived so much longer than we expected when he was first diagnosed..Thank God.
As I mentioned, it has been since the end of June since I've seen my babies. Now, mind you, this is very hard for me, but I can't go running out west every other month, so I have really stretched it this time...ha...
As of July 1 of this year, we sold our home. We don't know why!! It was a beautiful home as you can see if you go back further in my blogs...there are pic's of it. I guess we started thinking we needed to buy a house with a little more land, so we put our house on the market the end of May, I left for Amy's and Grant's...with in two weeks it sold, I wasn't to be home till June 23rd...and they wanted a July 1 closing date.....Done Deal....
We are living in an apartment, and we do like it just fine. Rent is cheaper than a mortgage...I have my own personal gym (ok, so I haven't used it yet)...green belts in which to walk the dog, and they provide poop bags.....I have my own personal lawn service, no charge...and very friendly neighbors...what can one ask more for......We are in no hurry to find something else...We first have to decide if we really want an acre to mow???? Or an old house to fix up????? Cause for those who don't know Lynn Gourley that well...Well he is tighter than a ........ So his price range in not where we will be able to just move in and live, oh no, there will have to be something done..but, till we decide what we really want to do, this almost 1400 sq. ft. apt. is just fine.
So now to fill you in on what I am getting ready to do. LEAVE!!!! Yes, I am going out to get my baby fix. I am leaving on the 26th of this month. Tanner (my travel buddy, my precious babydog) and I are driving out, to Phoenix will be there a few days, then Bryan, Amy, babes and I are all going over to Grant's and Ash's for Halloween. Then we will go back to Phx. and I will stay a week and a half or so, then Tanner and I will go back over to Grant's...about the13th and stay that week, and on the19th Mom and Dad Gourley will fly into San Deigo, we will spend that long weekend at Grant's then all of us, including Grant Ash and Carter will go back over to Phx. to spend Thanksgiving all together. Lynn will be flying in to join us...and Lisa has her ticket, but as a manager of her salon...the big boss told her that it was a black out week, and she couldn't leave. So Mama is not happy at all that my precious daughter will be left here all alone while we are all together out there....Let's take a vote...Quit!!!!! but reality is, she can't. She needs a job, she is 29 and lives out on her own. So it will be very sad without her. But she will go out when she can take a week off and see her brother and sister and babies...
So now yes, as you can see, I am going to be gone a good month or more...then I will be back home first part of Dec. My mom of course will be with us for Thanksgiving. and then she also will be here in Texas with us here for Christmas.
By the way, the night after Thanksg. we are going to celebrate our Christmas together also. Since we all can't be together for that date too.
So lots of goings on. I am very excited for all this to start. Of course it will fly by, and I will have to say goodbye again to my babies for who knows how many months..but you can bet your bippy, I won't go more than 3 or 4 again before I have to see them.
So now I will post a few newer pic's of everyone,
If I don't talk to you again before the end of the year....Blessed Holidays to you all.....and I will tell you more stories later...Love LeAnn

A few new pictures for those who still check out my blog!
Hi Everyone.
Well, we have moved, again, but this time on our own. We are still in Tx. just about 6 miles from where we were, but now we are in an apartment. We love it here, it turned out really cute, plenty of space for Lynn and I, with perks... Swimming pool, hot tub, workout room, lawn service, free maintance, and instead of our own upkeep, if something breaks...they fix it. Great concept. We like this.. So instead of yard work on the weekends, it's to the golf course!!!! Like that stopped us before..ha ha
One of these days I will post pic's of our new place, meanwhile, you get more pictures of my babies...that's what thrill's me the most.
Until next time, enjoy!!!!

Well, to update y'all, I am back home, packed, and ready to move into our new apartment. We are only about 6 miles from where we live now, closer to our golf course, nice, and closer to Lynn's work... We close on this house on Wed. July 1st.
After I left last week from Grant's and Ash's, Amy and Bryan and kids stayed one more day, and Ashleigh took some pictures of Abbi for her 18 month old pic's since Amy never had her year pic's done. Here is my little beauty. Grant and Ash have this fantastic camera, so Ash has become quit the photographer.
Got to play golf today for the first time in a couple months, and I will brag...shot a 94!
So I will update again when I upload all my pictures I took of all the kids when I get settled in my new apartment house.

Well today is my baby's birthday. He just happens to be 28. Yes Grant and Ashleigh just left today on his birthday for Antigua for 10 fantastic days and I am here with Carter. We will have a blast. His Mimi, Grandma Jean, will be coming over from Phoenix to see him too.
But today is also another big day. We put our house on the market for sale 2 weeks ago, and today it sold. Now, one would think that I should be excited....I guess since we did this, we should of been prepared for what we were going to do in case it sold...Well......here I am in Southern Calif. till June 23rd in baby heaven...and I have to be packed, stored, and moved out of my beautiful house by July 1st. NO...we have no idea what we are going to do...Has anyone ever went apartment shopping via internet....yep..that's what I am doing....along with freaking out...
So, I know when I get home things will have to happen real fast...and I know I can do it, but, dam, I'm getting a bit old for all this action....ha ha ha
Will let you know later how it all goes!
