New to this...


I am new to this, but I have been reading so many of yours, I thought I would jump on the band-wagon.

I have a best friend that I never spend time with. Hence, the reason we are best friends. I think of her OFTEN!!! When neither of us lived in the TriCities, we would make sure to go to LaCamida for lunch when were here visiting family. I heard the other day that she may be putting her house on the market to move... What makes a friend so special that I already miss her and we haven't seen each other in over a month! If you move, we HAVE to go to lunch FIRST!!!

A lot goes on in our daily lives and sometimes I forget to STOP and smell the roses. My mom swears I drink coffee because I talk a million miles an hour. I just feel like if I don't get it out, I won't. People say I have too much on my plate at once. Well, I have 3 kids. Those of you with more, know what I'm talking about. Nate is playing football, Phillip is taking ballroom(just like dad), piano, and trumpet. Alee is clogging and playing the piano. Granted, Scott is SOMETIMES around, but I mostly run them everywhere. Funny thing is, I WOULN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY!!!!!

Nathan is playing freshman football for Kennewick High School. He loves it and works very hard to get his place on the team. He didn't have the daddy's and big brother's to make a name for him. He has to make his own name and he's doing an awesome job of it! He is also maintaining a 3.5 GPA!!! Proud of you Nate!!!

Phillip is a "little" 6th graders this year. He loves school and is such a talented young man. He is in his second year of piano and is also playing the trumpet in the school band. He is such a wonderful help around the house, too. He walks to Alee's school every day to pick her up and head home before I can get to them. Now thats a good big brother!!!

Little Miss Alee... She is the girl of the house for sure! She had to grow up this year when Phillip went off to MS and she was left behind in 4th grade. She is a whipper-snapper!!! SHe is also taking piano. I don't know if it is their teacher or what, but Alee is reading music and playing like she has been playing for years! She is mommy's little helper. Yet she is so stinking independent! I love you Rufus!

Scott is working someplace out there! I loose track of what area and building he is in. I just know that he works and brings home the money! It is very nice having him home full time, though. Of course, now that he is home, I don't get to travel as much...

I am working in a kinder class and loving it! I worked with one young man for two years and decided it was time to move on. Now I work with 27 LITTLE TINY kiddos. I swear some of them are still in diapers!

I am so excited to hear from all of you and get back in touch with old friends!
