So its been a month

I am still traveling and training as I have been since the end of February. I did have an unexpected break last week when my trip to Austin was rescheduled to August! I got to spend a whole week in town and was very grateful for it since I had let a lot of stuff around the house go. I had only been getting 1 day or less off a week there for a long while. I was able to start AND finish several projects in the back yard and I can truly say it looks better than it ever has! Kenny and I worked really hard on all of that.

Derek is doing well and at this moment is on one of 4 buses coming back from Orlando and their band trip to march in a Disney parade. He is still working at Chicken Express in Springtown and I think is really liking the spending money in his pocket. He is very glad that school is finally out for the summer too.

I leave for Hawaii on Sunday morning to work unfortunately but the up side is "if you have to work somewhere, why not there?" I may get a 1/2 day for the beach if Im lucky on Wednesday or Thursday before I fly home.

J, our friend's son is staying with us for the summer and seems to have settled in nicely. He is a Senior at UT Austin's College of Business and doing his internship at a local MAJOR company. He's great to have around and is probably the smartest person I know. I keep telling him to remember us when he's rich and famous.

Juju seems to have settled in well at the nursing facility mom and dad had to move her to a few weeks ago and mom has been working hard on getting everything sorted out at the house and figuring out what is to be thrown away, sold and given to different family members. We worked on a lot of that today and made great headway. Erin has moved into the house, has gotten herself a job and is really doing great. We are really proud of her and what she is trying to do for herself for the first time in over a year and a half.

I am not sure if I've blogged about it or not, but I have a myspace page and now a facebook page. You can find my by my email address so be sure to look me up! I have connected with a lot of friends from High School and thats been a lot of fun.

Thats about all for now. Today is Kenny and my 4th wedding anniversary and he is stuck in Hot Springs trying to get home. Here is one of my favorite pictures from 4 years ago today!
