This week is preparation time for a birthday party in the double digits!!!! man my little guy is off to college in 8 years...... tear tear!!!!!

Week 2 and some of 3!

I am trying to weekly update.... it is HARD work. So last week jake found out his part in the play for performing arts. he is an Orphan in Oliver. He was not as excited as the year before in Tom Sawyer so we had lots of conversation about giving 115% and we don't always get what we want.... ect..... It was a hard evening, but he woke up and was ready for his part and is now super excited to be apart of such a great cast and performance. I am always proud of him and he will do a great job.

The 6th of March a bunch of us went to bob and tom comedy tour at the orpheum. I love to laugh and spend time with my friends. we (alison, jordan, jenn, BJ, brenda, nate, kim, april, jim, keisa, dusty, kyle and I) had a blast. we laughed all night and then spent sometime before for dinner and afterwords for adult time. I love comedy especially in Galesburg!

That weekend emily and danielle were in Maui and my brother had to make sure to call before his Cruise set sail..... needless to say I was sad I was not at either place, but had fun regardless.

Jake and I spent time together on the 7th and 8th. Mostly relaxing and at Jason Reids with the kids playing and while Danielle was away....... I needed to make sure they were OK.

Last week was a hectic one, play practice, guitar, baseball board meeting, tennis, dinner with Amy, Ava and Ryan (the best part of our week), by Friday I was ready to just relax with Emily and MArgaret. I helped them friday with switching out dishes and then shopping, Thanks Margaret..... I am glad you are a big part of my life!
Come Saturday Alison, Halle, Grae and I were getting our nails done, ok Grae just slept and watched. Then lunch at the landmark, YUMMY!!!!

That was my lovely week in a nut shell.
So this week is full of play practice, school choir practice, tennis and ST. PATTY"S DAY, can't wait to celebrate that in a few hours.............
OH and the dentist for jake and i this wed. get to see DR. Renfroe. that is a added bonus to the dentist office.......

week one!

Ok, so instead of monthly post I am going to try weekly. Lets just say TRY!!!!
This week is a not so great one.... EMily and danielle are in Maui!!! i sooooooooo sooooooo soooooo wanted to go, but since I only have three more months of work until summer that is hard to say I need a week off to go to HAWAII!!!! So they got on an American Airlines flight and since my brother knows most, lets say they were hooked up!!! love danny lee........ love the benefits, but love him more... Now on to not liking him for a minute....

He is leaving for a cruise on Sat. So way to many people are vacationing and I am still in Galesburg!

Other news this week. My mom left Wells Fargo and she sounds great and it seems that it all went better then expected. She will be at F & M bank for all your mortgage needs. She is still the best wherever she goes......

Jake is busy with ISAT testing this week. Snacks packed that are healthy all week and keeping me on my toes. Setting his alarm to get up BEFORE ME!!!! to brush his teeth, get dressed, put on deodorant, comb his hair, spray some cologne on.... i said do you have a girlfriend and he said NO i just am a MAN!!!! whooooooooo slow down there! He will be ten in a few weeks, but not a MAN yet. I need a man before he becomes a man!!!!

work is the same, work. I love my job!

Last week, carol, emerson and ella were home. That was a great week! i got to spend lots of time with them and enjoyed every minute. COme home SOON!!!

So tomorrow I am going to bob and tom's comedy tour with Brenda, Nate, April, Jim, Jenn, BJ, ALison, Jordan, Jaci, Keisa, Dusty and Kim. It should be a great time. I love to laugh!!!!!

Jake sings at the hockey game in the quad cities sunday! He is singing with his school choir! He sure knows how to keep me on my toes and busy.

Maybe a picture will be posted next week.... don't get your hopes up!
