More Updates and Visits

Tuesday, I got to see my Aunt Sheri, cousin Talia and all her boys. This was a perfect remedy and distraction after losing Bubba the day before. I hadn't met her youngest Kolbein yet and boy is he a cutey! The visit was as long as I would have liked but I'm so grateful she took the time to come up and see me. I got to show off my new place and she got to see my kids. We spent a lot of time talking about homeschooling and our kids. All the boys got along really well except towards the end when you could tell everyone was starting to get tired. I'm glad to see she is doing well in her new life in Idaho.

Yesterday I got to have my yearly physical and Pap. Yippee! (not) I was also still feeling a bit depressed since the loss of kitty so Dwayne took the afternoon and kids and let me run around on my own. I'm so grateful. It was exactly what I needed. Of course, I spent the majority of time shopping for and thinking about my family. I ended up getting some preschool workbooks for Sam and Evie while I was at Target waiting for my prescription. I then went over to Barnes and Noble. I avoid that store because I always spend way too much money there. Sure enough I came out with $75.00 worth of books. But I got a couple of good reference books on canning and quilting. I hope to learn and do a little canning this summer. I just recently picked up quiliting and still have lots of questions. The book I got has lots of pictures and very detailed instructions. I think it will be very helpful. My last stop for the evening was Petco to pick up a couple more fish. We got a small tank this last weekend which I'm glad I did. I think it was God's timing knowing that I was going to lose Bubba in the next couple of days. Now I have much easier pets to take care of. So after an evening of spending way too much money that I didn't really have to spend, I'm feeling much better today.

On another note, we have a small update regarding Dwayne. He received a phone call from one of his contacts that he sent his resume to kind of feeling him out. This rep told Dwayne that he is pretty confident that the Western Region manager will probably be giving him a call soon. We don't know what this means yet or what the position is, etc. But it sure is nice to have a little "nibble" from all our fishing. As for the local position? Still not posted yet............
