CATCHING UP!

HI ALL!! IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME, BUT i FIGURED i WOULD GO HERE. SO MANY THINGS HAVE HAPPENED AND GONE ON SINCE i LAST BLOGGED, SHEESH, WHERE TO START...WELL, HOLY COW, i GUESS i SHOULD START BY SAYING i DON'T REMEMBER HOW TO DO COLORS AND CAPS AND OH WITH...I'M WRITING, THAT'S WHAT COUNTS. LET'S SEE...THE OL COYOTE SOLD THE "POS"...TO GET THE TRUCK...OH, THE TRUCK THAT WE WEREN'T GOING TO HAVE TO SPEND ANY MONEY ON...LMFAO! OK...IF ANY OF YOU KNOW ME WELL, YOU KNOW MY MIND SKIPS FROM HERE TO THERE, SO THIS MIGHT NOT MAKE MUCH SENSE TO MANY OF YOU...OR THE ONE PERSON THAT READS THIS...

THIS YEAR, WE HAVE GONE CAMPING 4 TIMES, ONE BIG TRIP TO TEXAS FOR LISSI'S GRADUATION AND ANOTHER BIG TRIP TO SEE MY BROTHER AND FAMILY IN LAUGHLIN, THEN ON DOWN THE ROAD TO SEE OUR DAUGHTER AND OUR OTHER THREE BEAUTIFUL GRANDDAUGHTERS.

EMILY, KELLI'S OLDEST (SHE JUST TURNED 15!) IS PLAYING DRUMS IN THE MARCHING BAND AND DOING EXTREMELY WELL. SHE LOOKS LIKE A STRING BEAN WITH THIS MASSIVE BUNCH OF 4 DRUMS HANGING OF HER SHOULDERS IN FRONT OF HER...I'M TOTALLY AMAZED THAT SHE CAN STAND UP, LET ALONE MARCH ALL OVER A FOOTBALL FIELD...CAN WE SAY AWESOME!!! KATE AND ABBY ARE DOING GREAT AND LOVING THE SUCCESS OF THEIR BIG SISTER.

KELLI, OUR DAUGHTER IS BUSY TRYING TO SUPPORT HER THREE GIRLS, PHYSICALLY, SPIRITUALLY AND EDUCATIONALLY..THAT ALONE SHOULD CONSUME HER TIME. BUT NOT OUR GIRL..SHE HAS TO CHALLENGE HERSELF AS WELL. SO, SHE IS STILL DOING HER MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTING WHICH HAS TURNED INTO PROOF READING AND A SALARY HALF OF WHAT SHE WAS MAKING PREVIOUSLY..BUT ALL THE ABOVE HAS NOT KEPT HER MIND AND BODY BUSY ENOUGH, SO SHE HAAS DECIDED THAT SHE NEEDS TO STRETCH A LITTLE FARTHER. career change SHE HAS GONE BACK TO SCHOOL TO BECOME AND "RN"..HOLY CRAP..I WOULD BE IN A RUBBER ROOM WITH ALL THAT GOING ON...BUT SHE IS MANAGING AND MANAGING WELL WITH ABOUT IF NOT A 4.0 AVERAGE.

ALYSSIA (LISSI) AS I CALL HER, HAS ALWAYS WANTED TO BE IN COSMETOLOGY. SHE LOVES FIXING, COLORING AND CUTTING HAIR..SHE DID QUITE A BIT OF SEARCHING TO FIND HE SCHOOL SHE WAS ABLE TO ATTEND. SHE STARTED TWO WEEKS AGO AND IS LOVING IT...SHE BOUGHT HER CAR FROM HER MOM AND STEP-DAD AND IS WORKING TO PAY FOR SCHOOL...SHE IS A BUSY GIRL...I THINK HER SCHEDULE IS, EAT, SLEEP WORK, SCHOOL REPEATED DAILY. SHE MISSES HER SOCIAL LIFE AND PLAYING WITH HER BROTHER AND 2 SISTERS WHOM SHE LOVES VERY MUCH. OH, PLUS THE TWO DOGS AND CAT...

RUSS IS DOING...HE TOO IS HAVING NO SOCIAL LIFE, WORKING AND SLEEPING TAKE UP ALL HIS TIME. HE IS STILL AT DISNEYWORLD, THANK HEAVEN...HE HA BEEN TESTING FOR OTHER POSITIONS WITHIN THE COMPANY AND DOING WELL ON HIS INTERVIEWS..IN FACT, BOTH THE POSITIONS HE INTERVIEWED FOR, WANT HIM..MORE STRESS FOR THE KID. THANK HEAVEN HE HAS NIKKI TO TALK WITH WHEN HE GETS HOME FROM WORK. NIKKI IS HIS DOG. HE ALSO HAS HIS ROOM MATE (WHEN SHE IS THERE) TO TALK WITH. JD ALSO WORKS FOR DISNEY, SO THEY CAN COMMISERATE ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON. JD HAS WORKED THERE LONGER SO SHE CAN (TRY) TO EXPLAIN WHY THINGS WORK THE WAY THEY DO. I'M SO GLAD HE HAS HER FOR A ROOMMATE, THEY GET ALONG REALLY WELL AND IT HELPS ME TO RELAX SOME..THAT HE HAS SOMEONE SINCE HE IS SO FAR AWAY. THANK HEAVEN RUSS HAS MEDICAL INS. BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN HAVING A LOT OF MEDICAL PROBLEMS THIS YEAR ALONG WITH HIS TEETH...HE COMES BY IT THRU THE GENES...UNFORTUNATELY BUT, WE ALL HAVE OUR TRIALS...

I GUESS I SHOULD STOP AND LET YOU CATCH YOUR BREATH BEFORE I GO ON ABOUT SKIPPER AND ME. I DO WANT TO SAY, HOWEVER THAT WE HAVE LOST A LOT OF OUR LOVED FRIENDS, RELATIVES AND A PET THIS YEAR...NOT HAPPY...WE MISS OUR BELOVED FAMILY MEMBER, OUR ROTTWIELLER, DAYSEE MAE WHO DIED FROM BRAIN CANCER. AND, OUR COUSIN (CAN'T USE ANY ADJECTIVES TO ADAQUITLY DESCRIBE HOW MUCH WE LOVED AND APPRECIATED HER) COLLEEN MEANT SO MUCH TO US AND WERE MORE THAN SHOCKED WHEN WE LOST HER TO A HEART ATTACK. IN TALKING WITH HER KIDS..ONE OF HER SONS SAID "I THOUGHT WE HAD A GOOD 20 YEARS LEFT" AND WE ALL FELT THAT WAY...GOOD GRIEF, SHE ATE WELL, EXERCISED, DID EVERYTHING HEALTHY AND BAM...GONE...I'M STILL IN DENIAL.

OK, I SAID I WOULD STOP...HOPEFULLY I WILL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE MY BLOG, I NEED ANOTHER OUTLET FROM FACE BOOK, I LOVE PLAYING AND TALKING ON FACE BOOK BUT SOMETIMES THERE IS NOTHING MORE FRUSTRATION WHEN THE APPS DON'T WORK.....OK OK, I'M REALLY GOING TO QUIT NOW..HAVE A GREAT DAY...TA TA (SORRY ABOUT THE MISSPELLINGS)
