<p>The past two weeks found us with some rather shaky ground beneath our feet. {And this explains my lack of time in the blogging world lately.} It has taken me a bit to find my bearings and calm down from it all. Funny how life can just take you completely by surprise, sometimes when you least expect it too.</p>
<p>There were four layoffs at Steve’s work as well as talk about relocating workers. I do not know how I would/could deal with any of that right at this moment. I have managed to calm myself down and am going to ride this most recent storm out as best as I can. {My anxiety tends to get the best of me a lot of times.} For the time being it appears everything is stable for Steve. My heart goes out to the families that have to deal with the recent layoffs. {We went down that road just a couple of years ago so I know how devastating it can be.}</p>
<p>May the ground beneath all of your feet remain exciting and fulfilling but devoid of large pot holes and pits.</p>

<p>I certainly did not mean to disappear from this space for a week. Wow! The past week really did zip by me! It was quite the whirlwind really. Lots of new things being thrown at us and needing to digest. I&#8217;ll save all of that for another post on another day though for today I am <em>finally</em> getting around to posting the video I promised my 13 year-old son I would share with you last weekend. (Sorry Logan for letting this past week slip through my fingers. I swear I never forgot my promise to you. It just was a tad bit delayed.) Logan is our aspiring filmmaker and he had a blast at the waterfall earlier this month filming footage of the beautiful scenery. After getting home and editing all of his clips he practically begged me to share it with all of you here on my blog. I&#8217;m pretty proud of all his talents so I certainly do not mind sharing it. I think you all will enjoy it as well. I must add that he did not have his tripod with him at the time so I think he has a very steady hand!</p>
