We're Still here

I started this June 11th and still haven't posted after much crap from my Sister-In-Law, I figured I should so she can find something new to give me crap about. Gotta keep things fresh ya know. :-)

I know it's been a few weeks. It's crazy how everyday life seems to just take over and get hectic. So, to catch everyone up on our lives. Sharlene started her new job on June 2 and seems to like it. She says there's a lot of running around and very little down time, needless to say I haven't gotten so much as an email from her. :-( Oh well. There has been lots of drama at her old job, seems that the owner of the company found out that no offer was made or effort given to try and get her to stay, so they asked her what it would take for her to come back. We talked about it for a couple of days and came up with a wish list that she submitted. Stockton told her that they need to give it a little bit so make sure numbers will stay where they've been so he can justify giving her what she wants. I must admit though that I'm getting used to having her at home in the mornings when I get up and her staying up later at night since she doesn't have to get up so stinkin early. And with gas prices the way they are, we're saving about $300 a month on our gas bill. Basically, it's a win / win all the way around with her new job.

June 30th:
Ok, so here it is the Monday after a FREAKIN HOT weekend. I'm burned fairly good, so everytime I lift my arm or move around I get that painful scratchy feeling that we all love. I know, my fault should put sun screen on. However, I get one good burn a year then seem to stay kinda tan through out the summer.

So this weekend was a blast. Not only was it a Matthew weekend, but on Saturday we picked up our Nephew Jacob and brought him down to swim, then while we were swimming, Sharlene went and picked up our other Nephew Brendan to come swimming and spend the night. So we spent about 2 hours in the pool, well, actually Matthew, Jacob and Brendan spent time in the pool, I only went in for about 20 minutes, thus the begininnings of a nice burn. Jacob convienced me to spend the night well, not really convience, he asked and I said ok, he had already talked to Auntie about it before and she told him it was up to me. So with 4 boys, Sharlene was um shall we say out numbered. :-) Everyone was up late playing the Wii and eating popcorn and by 2am everyone was asleep. Bummer for those that stayed up because we were up at 8 or so, had breakfast and me and the boys headed off for a round of Disc Golf with one of my ball players and his dad. Everyone had a great time and yes I got a little more burned. When we got home we had some lunch and back to the pool where we stayed for another 2+ hours. Anyway, it was a great weekend and now I look forward to the end of this week so that we can leave on vacation.

More to come later
