End of August!!

Hey all,

Been a pretty busy week and now another one is approaching!! The cool thing is, that at the end of the week, Shane will be home for Labor Day weekend and I have the whole weekend off!!! Will be very nice!! We are going to be doing a lot of running around, driving here and there, but it will be a fun time.

Kalyn is looking at cars lately. Kinda scary, but necessary. We are looking at one today and then we are going to try to get her a loan for a car, so I will let you know how this turns out. The DMV no longer accepts driving tests performed by police officers, so she has to wait until Sept 22nd when her scheduled test is at DMV. She is looking forward to it.

Tyler starts college tomorrow!! Woohoo!! We hope all goes well for him. He is job hunting also. He got a loan for school, but he doesn't receive it until the end of Sept, so he is broke right now.

Kalyn and I are going to see "Halloween II" today in Santa Fe. It is not playing up here and we are really excited to go see it.

I work open to close at the bank all week due to Lesley being on vacation and then Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday nights I work at the gym (so that I could have the weekend off) and then Thursday night I clean a house. Really busy this week!! I will be working,eating and sleeping if you can't find me. :)

Until next time...

Saturday

Hey all,

Don't have to work much this weekend, for once, so I got all my scrapbooks caught up, laundry done and now working on Tyler's room. He has some things in there he didn't want to take to ABQ, but would like for me to keep, so I'm dealing with that and cleaning the walls, window, etc. I got a standing fan for that room so that when I'm exercising, the air can circulate in that little room. It's really sad not having him there. He lived in that room for 11 years. :(

Kalyn is getting into the swing of school and about ready to take her drivers test!! She's pretty excited about it. Hard to believe she began her Junior year at the High School.

Shane is getting ready to come home for Labor Day weekend. We have a lot of furniture moving to do and we are even driving up to Durango to meet Barb to pick up a bed from her. She has this log bed that I have been wanting for a few years now. She no longer wants it, so I get it!! Diana is giving us an old "dry sink" too. Love inherited furniture!!

I've been busy working and such. Lost one of my Saturday cleaning jobs, but that is ok. I'm trying to cut back anyway. Had a great time in Wisconsin and hoping to get back there next summer for the Wilson family reunion.

Until next time...

Happy 19th Tyler!!

Here is Tyler with his cake today. Doesn't he look a BIT tired from being in the mountains all weekend?? LOL :) Happy Birthday Son!!

Wisconsin Trip

Hey all,

My trip to Wisconsin to see family and friends was a success!! I got to spend a lot of time with everyone this time so it was SUPER special!! My father took me for a motorcycle ride and that was awesome!! I also spent a lot of time with my sis, one on one, which was a nice treat. Also, spending time with my grandparents was really special. Got to see Aunt Jill and her boyfriend Tim, Cousin Bruce and his wife Jamie, Auntie Florence, Bev and Babe, Dad and Lori, Jenni and Trent, Gram and Gramp, Aunt Kathy and Uncle Dennis, Auntie Ann and then Haley and Marcus. Ann, Haley and Marcus had me join them for a trip to the amusement park in Minnesota called Valleyfair. I hadn't been there since I was like 16, I think. I really enjoyed my time with everyone and appreciate the time everyone took to make sure to see me. I will post a few photos here, so enjoy!! I also put some on Facebook, if you would like to go see some there as well.

The reunion was really fun and I spent most of my time with my friend Jenny!! We had a good time at Houligan's on Friday the 7th, just chatting with former classmates and trying to figure out who people were etc. Most people looked really different and then of course some people NEVER change. The same groups hung out, which was really funny to see again. Saturday night I decided I would never see these people again, so I drank a few screwdrivers later in the evening and ended up dancing from 11pm to 2am straight!!! I even started a dance train to Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean". I had about 20 people in line behind me!!! It was a lot of fun!! :) Most people said I looked really good and couldn't believe the change. It was nice that people noticed.

That's all I've got for now!! Until next time...

Tyler turns 19 years old today!!

Hey all,

Hope all is well out there. I'm taking Kalyn to Albuquerque to get some school clothes today. School starts here tomorrow already!!! She is a junior this year. Hard to believe these kids getting so big!!

Tyler turns 19 today and I am just amazed. Him and Emily have been here in LA since Wednesday. They are planning on being here until the 19th. Can't remember when his school starts. He will be going to CNM in ABQ. It is a community college. Much cheaper and a lot of his friends will be attending that school as well.

Shane will be home Labor Day weekend. I'm really looking forward to that. We will make a quick trip to Durango to meet Shane's mom and pick up an awesome bed set from her that she is giving us. I've been begging for it forever now. (I'm sure we can meet up with Aunt Julie as well)

I'm still busy, busy. Lost one of my cleaning jobs so I'm down to 2 now which is just about perfect. I'm hoping I won't miss the money too, too much. I should be ok. Shane gets a promotion soon so that will help. :)

Okay, well I will be blogging again with a few family pics from WI. Until next time....

Class Reunion

Hey all,

Just a quick note to let you all know I made it to Wisconsin and having fun spending time with family and the class reunion events. I'm spending a lot of time with my sister too, which is really nice. I will post photos when I am back home.

Until next time....

39th Birthday!!

Hey all,

I had an awesome birthday this year. Started the morning off with a "happy birthday" text from my sis and my spouse. I worked at the bank and they had a potluck for me consisting of frito pies, cake and ice cream. They gave me a gift certificate to go have a massage done in Santa Fe that night!! As soon as I was off work, I headed down to Santa Fe and had the massage of my life. It was amazing and relaxing and I loved it. I wish I had done this years ago. It really made my day!! I got lots of calls and texts, which I really appreciate, from everyone!! Got lots of giftcards to go spend and lots of cards too.

Thanks to everyone for the thoughts!! Until next time...
