NOVEMBER 13

Kolten got back from Kansas City yesterday afternoon. Her flight came into Seattle on Tuesday, but her flight back to Yakima was cancelled, so she had to stay in Seattle until she was able to get another flight out. She said that she had a great time with her grandma, and that she took her shopping to get her essentials that she will get for boot camp (mostly generic looking underclothes). She spent most of the night last night packing up her stuff, she is going to store it at a friends house here in town, and she will be back at our house for the next (her last) three nights. I think we will be taking her to fly out, she was originally going to have to leave from Seattle, but they changed it to Spokane. Thank goodness, I have a fear of driving in Seattle. So I guess we will be off to Spokane on Sunday morning. She said that she will keep me updated as she can, and then I will be able to pass along this information on this blog. Her grandma and husband are supposed to attend her graduation in February, and her dad also said that "Come hell or high water" that he also was going to be there.

I am going to take on another part-time job, it is suppose to start in December. It will be at the new Bleyhls store. We want to attend Dylans graduatin in San Diego next summer, and we pay for everything with cash, so we will use this part-time work to pay for that trip. Unless the economy keeps up, then we may have to use it to live on!! Troys work has really slowed down, he is only working about three days a week, which is great for his bird hunting though!!

I have been sick with the flu the last couple of days, so I have not felt like doing anything other than doing the minimal. But for some reason the dogs don't seem to understand that. I got home yesterday, and Stephen had left Lily in the house. Well Lily gets bored very easily, and will stop at nothing to explore and get into anything and everything that she can. So I had quite a mess (disaster) to clean up, and I was so looking forward to just going home, taking some medicine and hitting the couch!! And I know those of you who don't have dogs, or love them as we do, don't understand why Lily wasn't strung up from a tree for these terrorist acts of hers, but she just gives me that look of hers, and I am putty in her paws!!

Well I had better get back to work now, my boss might wonder what is taking so long to get anything done. I will try and post a couple of pictures later today. Dylan went to fall formal last weekend, and I have some pretty good ones of that.
Love to all,
Janice
