June!

Hey all,

Finally caught up from vacation and am able to get on here and post!!  Had to work a lot of days in a row at the gym at the end of May to catch up and make some money before the payroll ended.  We get paid once a month at the gym, so for the month that we work, we get paid the next month around the 5th.  I only got about 1/2 of what I normally make, cuz I was gone, but it all worked out just fine!  Thank goodness I have vacation pay at the bank!  :)  It's been good to be back...everyone missed me and everyone loved the beer I brought back for them! 

Been seeing Mike Lippiatt a lot!  He's a great guy and we have a lot of fun!  Last weekend, we went to the casino and we danced and played a few slots.  Got home about 2:30 am and then he had to be up to deliver a paper route at 5 am, so he barely got any sleep that night.  We try to get together as often as we can and things are going really well.  Taking things very slowly!!  He got to meet a bunch of my friends last night at Chamber Fest events and also today, so its nice to show him off.  He calls me a "celebrity" in town, cuz everyone knows me!  lol  He grew up here and then left for 30 years and moved back almost 2 years ago now, so he hasn't been around consistantly, but still knows a lot of people around here.  We went out last night cuz his youngest son, Patrick (who lives here also), is leaving for Army basic on Monday am.  His basic is in Ft. Leonardwood and he will be going to AIT training for satellite communications, like Jon did!  Patrick is 22 and a real sweetheart!  Mike's family is throwing him a party at their house today, so when I am off work, I will head over there.  Mike's other son, Dustin, lives in Denver and is working and going to school.  He is 25.   

Kids are doing well! Tyler leaves for Ireland on July 9th!!  I gave him his birthday money early so that he could do his passport thing and so he was happy about that.  Tyler's girlfriends mom paid for the airline ticket.  He is saving what he can for food, etc, while he is there.  He's going with his girlfriend Sydney and also her mom.  Kalyn is doing really well in school and I couldn't be more proud of her.  She is out buying a waxing system so she can start doing waxes on the side for cash. 

House is finally transferred over to my landlord, Bruce.  He had to have me and Shane sign two documents for title transfer, etc, but finally got that back in the mail from Shane and then went and got it registered.  It's nice to be done with it all.  Only took 14 months to finish...sheesh!

I'm planning to upgrade my phone in July, so with all my b'day money, I plan to get the Iphone and then a carrier for running for my arm!  I'm very excited and can hardly wait!  My contract is up on the 24th of July, so that will be great timing!

Well, that is all the news for now...keep in touch and love to all!!  Until next time....
