First Day of Fall!

Hey all,

Well, the weather is turning a bit nippy in the mornings now and then by the afternoon it is 70 degrees!! Gotta love Fall in Los Alamos!!

Mailed off 9 boxes this week via USPS/FedEx/UPS full of Kalyn's clothes and books and shoes and jackets and gloves and scarves...whew the list goes on and on!! Her room is just about empty and ready for Tyler to move in!! She's leaving a few things here and so either myself or Tyler will help ourselves to the extra junk she leaves behind!! She's very excited to be moving on and she will be missed dearly around here.

Tyler and I moved him last weekend, so we are glad to be done with it. We borrowed Kevin's truck and went and picked up the couch and his bed and stuffed whatever else would fit along the sides of those big items. Then last Sunday, we each drove down and got the rest of his stuff!! We took it all to his storage shed...well, except for the stuff he wanted at the house...and now his shed is full of his goodies. He is thinking of staying for a year and then move again. Depends on if he gets his bills all paid off. He is absolutely loving his job at the Coffee Booth and the manager there, is in the process of purchasing the place, so he asked Tyler if he would like to be one of the managers when HE owns it! I thought that was very flattering! Tyler is really pumped about it! He will be watching the cats and house while I am away. Hopefully no parties will be thrown!!! :)

Work is going well at the bank. I had my annual review and got a small 2.5% raise, so that will help a little bit. Comes out to $40 a paycheck right now, but after December is when our medical benefits change, so hopefully it won't dig into my new wages too much. Gym job is good too. I asked about a raise there when I get back to my regular schedule in November and the owner told me to remind her and we will chat. :) Haven't gotten a raise there in over 2 years, so it's time.

I'm also getting really excited about the trip and seeing everyone! Should be a grand time!

Tj and Diana will be here early next week. They will be here a couple weeks for Balloon Fiesta in ABQ. We will get to see them probably one evening before we head out early next Saturday am. Will be nice to see them too.

Well, I am getting sleepy so will cut this short and go to bed. Stay well everyone and until next time.....
