Holy Crap!

Is it really February? Has it been a month since I wrote anything? Damn, I have been stinking at this.

Things around here have been hectic and a little rough over the last month or so. I found out last week that AOL is not giving raises or bonuses this year. I'm trying to look on the bright side that I still have a job... Sometimes that is easier than others. One of the saving graces is that I truly respect and enjoy the people that I work with. That goes a long way in keeping me happy. And the fact that I work from home doesn't hurt!

Wendy's work is going on as usual. She was supposed to be home for the next 12 weeks but one of the Instructional Designers at her office gave notice this week, so that didn't work out quite as planned. She will be heading to Maryland for two weeks on February 16th.

Zach is still playing basketball. He had a great game last Saturday when Grandma Sharon and Grandpa Ronnie came to see him play. You can really see that he has learned quite a bit since the season started. Sharon is coming down again Saturday to take him to lunch and watch him play. He loves having her come to visit.

Zach had some struggles as baseball practices started this year, so he will not be playing. I am sad about that because I really enjoyed coaching, but maybe it will be for the best. After basketball is done he is going to try volleyball at the Y. I think he picked that because he thought it would be less running than soccer!

I got to go see Orin's brother Brad this week. He was transferred to a facility in Oklahoma City about three weeks ago. He is talking and able to get around some. It is awesome to see how much he is improving and hopefully he will continue to do so. Seeing the reality of all this makes me appreciate how lucky all of us are. Take a moment and tell those around you how much you love them today.

Anyhow, I'm gonna close for now, but I promise to try to be better about posting. Have a great weekend everyone!
