OH MY!

I can't believe so much time has passed! No wonder Ardys has asked me to update my blog. Plenty has happened. Let's see where to start. Ralph was furloughed for 11 weeks from his job. He got called back a month early! Thank goodness! We love dad, but when he gets bored and restless...well I will leave it at that! He did get alot accomplished on the house. He semi finished the bedroom downstairs. It's all done except the ceiling and floor. We ran out of money. We went ahead and set up Erika's king size waterbed down there for her to settle in down there, when she comes back for the summer.Only 4 more weeks till she gets back!
I was also furloughed for a week in March. So we (Dad, Matt and I) flew to Chicago to visit Jason and Erin. We really enjoyed the visit. Unfortunately, it was too cold for a lot of activities...but that didn't stop us from trying. We went to one of the biggest malls I have ever been to. We went to a couple parks, we went to Lincoln Zoo (it was too cold for the animals to be out, but it was free), China Town, Navy Pier, Wrigleys Field. Forgive me Jas and Erin if I have forgotten anything. I think the best part of the whole trip was just getting to visit with Jas and Erin. They are doing so well and are so happy! I really miss them! They will be heading for Spokane, WA for the summer. He will be doing his summer job selling APX Alarm Systems.
Matt is still working at Smiths. He has kind of put himself in a predicament. He works really hard and does his best, which is good...but now the managers like the work he does so well, he gets stuck doing all the cleaning jobs. Plus while most stores have cut back a lot of peoples hours they have increased his. I worry that he is working too much...but he says he is fine. Between his girlfrend Alex and work...sometimes I wonder if he even lives at our house anymore. There is proof of that...cus I always seem to find more dirty dishes than what Dad and I dirty! Plus his bathroom does keep running out of t.p.
Well that will have to do for now. I still haven't learned how to add pictures, but when I do you will get to see tons.
Hope all is well with everyone else!
