JANUARY 14

HELLO TO EVERYONE,

WORK HAS BEEN KEEPING ME PRETTY BUSY. I WORK MY REGULAR 40 HOURS AT RH SMITH, AND THAN I AVERAGE ABOUT 25 HOURS AT BLEYHLS, BUT I REALLY ENJOY THE SECOND JOB SO IT ISN'T SO BAD. I WAS A LITTLE SAD LAST NIGHT THOUGH...TROY AND DYLAN STOPPED BY TO SEE ME AT WORK ON THEIR WAY TO WATCH KINZI PLAY BASKETBALL AND I DIDN'T GET OFF UNTIL 9:00, BUT WHEN I GOT OFF WORK TROY CALLED ME TO TELL ME THAT KINZI'S GAME HAD JUST STARTED SO I RACED OFF TO THE SCHOOL AND GOT TO SEE ALMOST THE ENTIRE GAME. IT SEEMS THE GAMES BEFORE HERS RAN LONG, SO IT PUSHED HERS BACK, SO IT WAS GREAT FOR ME, AND BECAUSE IT WAS SO LATE IN THE EVENING, I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO PAY ADMISSION!!

DYLAN HAS BEEN A PRETTY SICK BOY, I HAD HIM AT THE HOSPITAL FRIDAY NIGHT & SATURDAY MORNING AND BACK TO THE DR. ON MONDAY AFTERNOON. EVER SINCE HE HAD MONO A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, HE HAS HAD HUGE PROBLEMS WITH HIS TONSILS, AND THEY SWELL UP SO BIG THAT IT BLOCKS HIS BREATHING, WHICH REALLY SCARES ME WHEN HE SLEEPS. ANWAY, HE GOES TO SEE AN ENT TOMORROW AFTERNOON, AND OUR FAMILY DR. SAID THAT THEY WILL PROBABLY TALK ABOUT HAVING THEM REMOVED.

STEPHEN HAS BEEN A PRETTY BUSY BOY. HE GOES TO SCHOOL IN YAKIMA MONDAY THRU FRIDAY FROM 8:00 TO 3:30 AND THEN HE GOES TO WORK AFTER THAT, WHICH A COUPLE TIMES A WEEK IT IS IN TRI-CITIES. THANK GOODNESS HE IS YOUNG AND CAN HANDLE THE LONG HOURS.

TROYS WORK HAS BEEN PRETTY SLOW STILL, HE KIND OF GOT TIRED OF DRIVING TO YAKIMA AND THERE NOT BEING ANY WORK, AND HAVING TO TURN AROUND AND COME HOME, SO HE ASKED HIS BOSS LAST WEEK TO JUST GIVE HIM, HIS PINK SLIP (WHICH IS WHAT YOU TAKE TO THE HALL TO BE PUT ON THE LIST SO THAT YOU CAN DRAW YOUR UNEMPLOYMENT), SO HE DID, AND WE SIGNED HIM UP, BUT HIS BOSS CALLED HIM THIS MORNING AND SAID TO COME BACK ON MONDAY. HOPEFULLY THERE IS SOME WORK LINED UP FOR HIM FOR AWHILE.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW, MY BABY BROTHER, RONNY IS GETTING MARRIED. THEY ORIGINALLY WERE GOING TO TIE THE KNOT IN AUGUST, BUT THEIR PASTOR SUGGESTED THAT SINCE THEY LIVE TOGETHER THAT THEY SHOULD GET MARRIED EARLIER THAN THAT. SO THEY ARE GOING TO WED ON FEBRUARY 7, AND THEY WILL STILL HAVE THEIR CEREMONY AND RECEPTION IN AUGUST. I AM SO GLAD THAT HE FOUND KACEE, SHE LOVES HIM SO MUCH, AND VICE VERSA.

WELL I HAD BETTER GET BACK TO WORK NOW.

LOTS OF LOVE TO ALL,
JANICE
