We're Moving

Well, we will be moving to Michigan very, very soon. I got the official word today that I am once again gainfully employed. I will be working for ImageMasters in Ann Arbor. I am not sure where we will be living - trying to scramble on that point!

I believe once everything settles down this will be a great change for the family. The kids, of course, are very upset, but they will adjust and learn to love it.

Life

As so often happens in this life, we have hit a fork in the road. It looks as if we are going to be moving, most like up to Michigan. This has been a very hard and long thought out decision. There just does not seem to be a future where we are (at least not a good one!). A fresh start seems to be the best thing to do. We are unsure of when the move will be, but will keep everyone notified.

The kids are doing great. We got rid of cable about a month ago and the kids are still trying to deal with not having the TV to entertain them, but they are getting better about that now. Personally, I am enjoying not having it on constantly. Ted got an areial for one of the TV's and is getting about six channels (talk about remembering your childhood) and so we get a few shows worth watching, but I just cannot believe the money that I wasted on all those cable channels and how easy it is to be without them.

My football season is over now. We made some improvements as a team and backslide on others. I will stay with this team if we go to MI - the drive was something else this year and I will not put out that much money for gas again.

I will be posting some new pictures this week. Got the info on doing the slideshow and will take care of that later on! Gotta go and do my job search now - I will be so happy when this part is over.

Well, we lost this last game - that sucks. I did get some terrific brusies though!!!! We have another chance next month to beat this team and we can do it.

Ted is on his last week of school and will be taking his CDL test this Saturday (4/28). After he passes he'll be calling up his new employer and scheduling his orientation and training.

The kids all got roller blades this week. A neighbor had a whole bag full of them and gave them out to the kids around here. The boys have already figured out how to skate!!! Zach followed Ted around with his lawnmower while Ted did the yard - so cute!

We Won!

It was a miserable day to be outside, but we managed to win the game! The temps were in the mid to low 20's and the snow just would not let up! The game actually went into overtime, of course - we only go into overtime in bad weather. But we got the first victory this season!!!!! We play again on the 21st - this will be a real test of how our team has improved this year.

April 2007

Well, we had Kyle's birthday party today. The usual showed up and it turned out great. Everyone had a great time. Ted will be done with school in just four weeks - and hopefully everything comes out OK with that. My season opener is tomorrow - man it is going to suck playing in such cold weather and with snow! Hope they have the hot water going in the showers afterwards. They have me at linebacker and runningback this season, should prove interesting on both sides.
