2011 Begins

We have survived 2010! We may be a little bruised and battered but we made it. The FINAL semester starts next week and we are more then ready for it to start. 16 weeks, but who is counting? What then you ask? I have no clue but I'm alright with that. Once I know I will be more then happy to share it with everyone.

Things are slow at the nursery right now so I am not getting any hours there. After all who wants to buy plants in January? I am hoping to pick up a few extra hours at the bank since we are going through leadership changes here. Our branch president is moving on to a different position and during the transition we might have days of being understaffed. Thats where I hope to come in. No, not as president, what a scarey thought. Although if I suggest that maybe he would just stay.

My girls are doing well. Courtney had caught a bug over Christmas but it was short lived and not passed on to anyone else. Jessica spent a week here with us then went to Ohio with us for a week and to NY with her boyfriend's family the next. She will need a vacation from her vacation. James has enjoyed his break from school but if it would have been up to him he would have skipped the break in order to finish sooner. He needed this time off though to recharge. He has been trying to do so much between full time student, working and preaching twice a month. He is now rested and ready for the final leg.

There has been a horrible accident a few days ago. A 19 year old young man was cleaning his gun in the basement when in discharged and killed his 15 year old sister on the floor above him. Please pray for this family.
