I would love to catch up on things since my last pitiful blog. I am flabbergasted at how the months have truly flown by. We are one week and afew days from school starting... Our summer has been different with no visitors coming in but we had lots of storms that led us to projects and stuff. We still do not have a tree in the front but we now have a new roof and new color of paint on our house. To even more more excitement than one can stand, I also have a new stainless steel dishwasher---it is soooo pretty and quiet. Quiet is the key word. We had some exciting decisions to make as far as jobs...Illinois or Ohio. Well, after much thought and prayer and whatever---we decided we d/n need to move and we d/n need to move Stephanie out of another school especially in her senior year. Mike looked at the plant in Ohio... was interested but timing was off. Illinois is still in future but not now. Thank goodness. we have been "stressed out" and on the edge with those decisions. Our months of summer has been filled with EFY, Girls Camp, volleyball and basketball camp (Gretchen) and Mavs basketball camp for Gretchen. As you can see they have been busy...the past 4 weeks the older two have been involved in band and colorguard camp. I have no pics of them doing that. We went on vacation to Arkansas for caving and hinking then strolled over to KY to visit Mike's cousin---there we tubed and jet skied to hearts delight. Loads of belly laughing and snickering ---cause it was funny. From there off we went to Tn....to visit Elvis' mansion. Wowser!!!!! That ws some tour--never to be done again but we did it. Onward home. Work-work-work. I am still trying to find a job...preferably in school system --but who knows maybe I will be working at Home Depot. Other fun times we have spent have been going to quite a few baseball-Rangers games. We have one this weekend in a suite should be very fun and warm---yeah baby! We also have been busy plotting with Stephanie her portfolio for her senior yr...---oh chills. What a fun blast and half that has been!!
