It's been a while since I last posted... actually it's been almost 5 years. To my tens of fans, I apologize for the season ending cliffhanger that was my last blog post. It's really nothing to be ashamed of though. Consider this, Harper Lee published her famed novel, "To Kill A Mockingbird" in 1960. It was recently announced that she plans to release her second novel later this year, that's an astonishing 55 year lay off for her between writings. So in comparison to Lee, I'm actually a prolific writer.
A lot can happen in a five year span. For instance, the Cecil family moved to Las Vegas and added another kid to our brood, a year later we moved back to Indiana and added another kid to our clan. I went back to school for a career change, and I'm now teaching high school English (Don't judge my grammar please). We bought a new house, and two used cars. We adopted a cat, and then gave it away. We adopted a dog, and then gave it away. We adopted another kid, and then...just kidding we didn't adopt anything else, but perhaps a few personality quirks. All that to say, I've got some catching up to do! I've been inspired/ challenged by colleagues and students to write on a more regular basis. So, I pledge to you my loyal fan base (i.e. mom) to write at least twice a lustrum.
