Lately

Superbowl Sunday! Actually, we're not really football fans and it's amazing we even know the two teams playing. But, we do, Saints vs. Colts. Anyway, we are going over to Karen and Mike's to watch the game, eat way too much food, and maybe later, play a little Rock Band.

A couple of weeks ago Ryan bowled a 193. He was wanting another "200+" game, and was a little disappointed at first. But then the excitement of the 193 game kicked in and he felt really proud of it. Also, Ryan now has a girlfriend at school. Her name is Olivia. They had a field trip to MOSI a few weeks ago and that's when it became official. Ryan also got his report card the other day. He made honor roll again, all "b"s and one "a". We are always proud of him!

I had my debut party for my Mary Kay business, and it went well. It was only a small group, but we had a good time. I've been focusing more on the business and really trying to continue learning and training. I really do enjoy it.

I'm working part-time at H&R Block during tax season. It's a fun little job. The people there are all very nice and helpful and I am enjoying it, as well.

Rogie has made some progress with his train lay-out. It's really coming along. He also finished painting our armoire which is going in our bedroom. And he built shelves and painted them for the garage. Check out the pics

Yesterday was our 5 year anniversary. We're going to celebrate next weekend though, kind of a Valentine's Day/Anniversary combo.

Tuesday night my Mom and I are going to see Wicked at the Performing Arts Center!!!! I'm soooo excited!!! Mom and I love the theatre and musicals. I haven't been to one in so long and I've been dying to see this one in particular for a couple of years now. I read the book, which was good, too. My Dad bought us tickets for Valentine's day!!! Best Daddy ever!!!

Well, that's the latest......later!

I'm back.....

Well it's been a while, but I'm back. Since my last post, we bought a home in Weeki Wachee and moved. Ryan is in 6th grade and attends a K-9 school in their gifted program. He is also in band at school and is playing the saxophone. Andrew is now living back with his Mom in St. Petersburg and in high school. Aaron lives in Seffner with two roommates and is working two jobs and going to college full time. Currently, Roger has applied with the Florida Highway Patrol State Troopers and is awaiting their response. And, I have started my own business with Mary Kay as an independent beauty consultant, as well as taken on a part time job with H&R Block during tax season. We've been in our new home since October and love it! Christmas was busy, but wonderful (as every year). We spent a lot of time with our families and ate entirely too much. We celebrated a quiet, yet fun New Years with Karen and Mike. This past weekend, Ryan bowled a 202 in his league. His average is 124 and his record high score prior was 169. Everyone was so excited! His Dad and I were very proud! Yesterday was his first day back to school since Winter break. It has been very cold here for longer than normal. Parts of our area had snow and we witnessed sleet Saturday morning. It's actually felt like Winter, which is weird for this Florida girl. Well here are some pics of us from recent. The first is the band Winter concert. Second is Aaron and I at Mom and Dad's house. Third is Ryan in the back yard shooting his bb gun with Dad. And last, Roger, Me, Karen and Mike on New Year's Eve/Day. I'll try to keep up with posting. Later!
