This past summer...

Hey people out there, did you have an amazing summer just like me? I am having the time of my life with my family and kids. We payed off the house, decided to stay in Idaho, re-furnished our home once again and are currently having a great time, not working, being together and having fun doing anything we please. I have to say, I'm getting an itch to go back to work... As a matter of fact I want to work on my resume this week. Tomorrow we'll be leaving to Portland where Brett's band will perform. I'm excited about my trip with my hubby and the band. I took a trip with my friend Marti to Seattle, it was lots of fun, we did lots of crazy things together and had a great time. We also took Kallie to Disneyland, and met the Hydes over there. My house looks amazingly beautiful all put together... I'm so glad we stayed. Once in a while we get nostalgic and miss Costa Rica. It'll be interesting to see if we end up back there next year after our year off. Brett could decide he wants to go back and work over there. Jake and Alex are doing very well. Jake started K12 on Monday, and he is very dedicated to his studies. He is currently working for Target in Eagle rd. Alex starts Centennial high on Monday and he is very excited. Alex is 14 years old now.. gosh! my baby grew fast. Shawn is doing amazing with T-mobile, still being the top call center agent here in Boise, he will keep trying to climb the ladder with them and make a career. He is making good money and has purchased a brand new Ford Mustang... I'm happy my son is a good kid, he is and amazing son. What makes Shawn amazing are his brotherly skills... he is extremelly close to his sibblings, he takes them places almost everyday and buys them stuff they want. Shawn has learned to manage his money very well, has total control over his finances and is doing well.
Erica is not working at the moment... she is attending school full time and will be graduating as a nail technician. She is currently attending Oliver Finley Academy. My daughter looks stunning! Boys are comming out of every direction to date her, she is very popular this days which creates a small problem. She has also become very picky about whom she dates, and that's a good thing. Erica keeps loosing weigh and is looking very nice. We are so thankful for everything she does for us. She is our trusted babysitter and we apreciate her help.. I love my Erica, she and I are good friends.
I'm managing to keep my weight off and feel great about it, you ladies out there know how hard this could be for some of us.
So I will tell you, I just turned 46.... I look and feel terrific for 46, and look forward to 50 as long as I stay fit and healthy. Brett and I went downtown Boise to "explore" the dancing clubs, and we blended with the youth there very well.. We danced and had a heck of a time... we were so happy having a good time, after dancing we worked out an appetite so we shared a delicious Nathan hot dog from a street vendor. We need to do that more often.
Yesterday we went to the fair... it looks just like it did 20 years ago, nothing has changed, lol. We ate a greek gyro, churros, and finger steaks. It was fun! Anyway, I must quit writing since I have to go get ready, Brett wants to go out again.
