Ryan



On Monday, I went to the office and resigned my position at On Command. I then came home, picked up Bob and we had lunch with Allison, Chuck, Aaron and Ryan. It wasn't really in celebration of my resignation because Bob and Aaron already had lunch plans long before I chose to resign that day -- but, it turned out to be a real nice lunch / celebration!!!


Here are some cute pictures of Ryan and Aaron. I usually end up with photos of the back of his head or blurry, because he's quick!!!


These are cute, enjoy!

New Front Porch



While Bob and I were vacationing, we were having a new cement front porch layed. We decided on just the plain old, same old cement that we had before. I love the colored cements and absolutely LOVE the stamped concrete, but I don't know if I would still love it in about 10 years, so we just did the plain old. It's huge and we love it...... however, a naughty little neighbor girl carved her initials into it..... right in the front. Whew, we're not happy about that (and neither are her parents). I think we're going to add another plant right in front to try and hide it some. The cement contractor is also going to see if they can sand it down a bit, but, unfortunately there is nothing to fix it :(


On with life! Here are some pictures of our new front porch!

I'm Back!

I haven't been blogging for a while, but I'm back now :)

Lot's has happened.... let me try to fill in everything:

1. My Dad turned 90 and we had a party for him up in ND, I already blogged that but, wanted to remind you!
2. Barb and Kevin Hougen had a huge 50th birthday party hosted by Tessa, it was great!
3. Barb, Kate and myself made a trip up to ND to help Cindy with moving my Dad into a nursing home. I was sad, but it's a long time coming, and he is doing well (He always does well)
4. Luke and Karen moved to Cody, WY in August. We miss them so much!
5. Mychal starts JR. College in Lamar, CO and is signed as pitcher on the baseball team!!
6. Bob and I vacationed in Cape Cod for a week, and our friends Jim and Betty joined up with us for a few days.
7. While we were vacationing, we had a new front porch and some landscaping done in the front yard.
8.. Finally, tomorrow is my last day of work at On Command! I'll fill you in on this, I'm taking a couple of weeks off - sabatical!

Check out new pictures, and I owe you more...... I've uploaded pictures from the family barbecue before Luke and Karen moved and also some photos from our vacation. More to come, I've been lucky to see Mychal play baseball on his Lamar team and I have some photos of the Hougens 50th.

Sorry I'm slow, but you have to admit..... we've been busy :)
