It's Almost time!

Well the big party is just days away, and I can barely contain my excitement. It looks like it might rain that day, so we'll keep our fingers crossed for some better weather. Those weather guys don't know what their talking about half the time anyways, so I'm not worried. And if it does rain, then we get wet! no biggie. I just hope its dry for the firework show! Pam, tell Bry his ears should be ringing. I keep talking about him to my friends and coworkers. I tell everybody that his works could rival that of some of the best shows throughout the country. I don't know if that's something he's looked into, but perhaps he could find his way into that business and make fortune turning his hobby into a career!
Anyways, oh, Caryl went to the local church's rumage sale and stumbled on a great find. We had been looking into a "kitchen nook" for our tiny house. Our kitchen is so small that you cant fit chairs around the table, so we turned the table into a kitchen desk where the computer sits. Well, the kitchen nook would be a series of benches that fit into the corner of the room with a table in the middle. The perfect fix for our tiny space. When we started looking into these, they were priced around $400-$500! Too expensive for our meekly income, so instead we eat our meals on the couch around the coffee table. Well, as I mentioned, Caryl was at the rumage sale and found the exact same kitchen nook we were looking for in the catalogs and stores that was all but brand new. A few nicks and scratches but its "nude" and unfinished, so those can be sanded out and the whole thing can be stained and sealed easily. We took it home for the mere price of $100. Great job, Caryl! It's gonna look so nice when its done. I can't wait to eat a meal at the kitchen table again. God, it's been a long time!
Well, I was going to wait til the party, but I already spoiled the suprise to Jen. Are you ready for this?! Caryl and I are gonna have another baby! Yep, number 2 is on the way. Caryl is about 8 and 1/2 weeks along now and we've already seen the heartbeat on the ultrasound. Those ultrasounds are amazing. They have this 3D imaging where you can see a 3D image of the little tiny baby. You could see the nubs that will soon be arms and legs, pretty neat! I'll tell everybody more about it at the party. Well, gotta run! see every body on saturday!

Summer Semester

Well the summer semester of online courses at the community college is certainly speeding by. I'm taking applied accounting and completeing my sophmore portfolio over the summer and we're almost half way through. I'm doing suprisingly well so far. I am maintaining an "A" in both courses so we'll have to see how well I can hang on to those. I haven't been much of a bloger lately b/c of the summer semester all my spare time is going into these courses. Well, I say that, and yet I'm currently taking a break from my camping trip that the family and I are currently on, to write this blog entry. We're camping down at Quiver River State Park this week. I managed to get a couple of days off in a row and Caryl said hey lets go! I can't wait to see everybody at the party coming up! I'm very excited. Caryl is going to be out of town so it will just be me and the Sophster, possibly my dog (Parker). I know you guys like to bring your dogs, do you think I should bring him? Or do you think I should just leave him @ home? He doesn't like to be tied up. He's an overgrown lap dog, and very hyper! Susan or Jen, do you need me to bring anything to the party? I'll definately bring a cooler of my fav anheiser busch product before the become german! That's so sad what's happening there. Hostile takeover's should be illegal. If a company doesn't want to sell, then it should be allowed to turn down offers of buy outs. Free Capital can be a bitch, huh?!
Well, that's really about it for now. blog @ u l8r!
