Where has the summer gone?

Ok, so I am not so good at keeping you all up to date. Sorry. I still have to learn how to put pictures on. Again, sorry no pictures (yet). For now I will give you the most recent updates and then go backwards for the summer.
Erika changed her mind and is going to the College of Idaho (formerly Albertsons) in Caldwell, Idaho. She emailed the coach and asked if they could use another player. The coach did some research and invited her to play. On top of that she offered her a $9000.00/year scholarship for soccer. At first Erika was thinking about it, then the coach called back and offered her $14,000.00/year. That pretty much made the decision for Erika. She has been up in Idaho since the 14th of August. She is living with her Uncle Ron and Aunt Ali up there. She seems to be really enjoying herself there. School doesn't start until Sept. 8 though, so then we'll see how she handles it then.
Jason came to visit on his way back to Chicago. He had been working in Spokane selling APX security systems for the summer. Erin wasn't able to come, she had to fly back to Chicago early for some job interviews. We really missed her, but sure enjoyed having Jason to ourselves for a few days. He is now back in Chicago, going to school again.
Matt is still working at Smiths and just started back to school last week.He is a Senior this year. He seems to have a cush year this year. He is going to be taking a bunch of mechanic classes at the Bridgerland Applied Technology College. He figures it will come in pretty handy working on his own car. He will turn 18 on Saturday. WOW!
