Are You There?

Yes folks, I am still here. I realize it has been months since my last post and I apologize. I am sure you have all anticipated everyday, "Will this be the day Chandra posts". Sorry for the repeated disappointments you have all had to endure. The past few months have been full of excitement and new adventures. In my defense I only got online when I was over at my mom's house.
January brought about a new job, house and town. While I had to say goodbye to family and friends, I have gotten to say hello to a new Church eager to grow and I am excited to be here for the ride.

Today, I finally have a little down time(well I am making down time because after all, it is my birthday) and, after 2 years, I have high speed Internet. So ladies (and gentlemen, if I have any gentlemen readers) hold on tight because I am back in the...............BLOGGING WORLD.

My post today is 30 things about me. Not because this is my 30th post or my 30th day here or my 30 time I have told the kids to QUIT RUNNING IN THE HOUSE but because today is........
