So here we are a month later. We bought a 92 Ford Taurus, and it just crapped out on me in the last several weeks. So I threatened the car that I'd trade her in on a new car, and I guess she didn't believe me, because she left me stranded 2 days in a row. So guess what?!! I TRADED HER IN!! And now I own a car that looks like a brand new car, but it's not! She is a 1996 Buick Riviera with a supercharger. She's fast, clean, has a/c, and is all leather on the inside. She is sleek and just flat out PRETTY! Anyways, it's a great car and I'm thrilled to have her. Its sad though, it's my first car from a dealership and I'm almost 33 years old! Oh well, the "wait'" was worth it, lol. My new job at Kohls is going great. We have 2 weeks left to get the store ready to open. I don't know how we're going to be ready, but I guess we'll have to be. I still have a ton to do yet, and have done A LOT! I look around the store and realize how much I have done, but how much ...835 days ago
Wow! So much has happened! Let's see, I don't have a lot of time, so I'll make this short and sweet. Randy's still working, he's doing ok. Dustin starts Junior High this Thursday, so it's been pretty scary for him this past week. He's nervous, but somewhat excited too. We also have a car now, thank goodness. So I went out and looked for a job. First thing I applied for was a management position with Kohls, and I got it! I started this past Friday. It's so exciting! We're opening a brand new store in Norman, so I get to be a part of that. It'll be my second store opening. This is also a concept store, like the last store I worked in. But instead of an unsteady company, it's a fast growing company. The others in the management team are all just awesome people. I can really see this store making its mark! We're doing a job fair right now, and we should be in the store by late next week to start putting fixtures, mannequins, and graphics up. Then we start throwing freight and ...858 days ago
I know, I haven't written for awhile again. Lot's of stuff going on. My brother and his wife moved to their own place and they seem to be pretty happy there. That's a great thing! Randy finally got me a car so I could go back to work. I decided not to go back to Sears though. I sent my resume to a great company, so we'll see what happens. I had my interview this past Friday, and it looks good. I'll say a few prayers. We went through a lot to find a car, but I think we got a decent one. It's nothing fancy, but for right now it'll work. It's a 92 Ford Taurus. I like it. Dustin and I can get out more during the week and spend time together. Something we like to do is go to the library and the museum together. And of course he likes to shop with me for cool stuff. He's totally into this dragon stuff, so he likes to go to different stores with me to see if they have anything he can get for his room. Buddy is doing a lot better too. He was a major pain in the ...

Wow, where did the time go? It doesn't seem like 12 years has gone by. Dustin has gone from little chubby, dimple cheeked, cherub to a very pre-teen boy. It makes me sad in some ways. Hoping I didn't miss something somewhere along the line. Anyways....(sniff sniff sniff..) He has his party today. How many kids do you know that get to set fireworks off on his birthday? I know I never got to. He had a neat cake, with a '57 Chevy on it. I made him a honey ham dinner, which he loved. He got a cool knights shield from his grandparents, Randy's folks. And from his other Grandparents (my folks) he got a cool art set with a dragon theme, and my Mom made him a dragon statue out of clay. Its very cool! He spent all his cash on a couple water guns....super soakers. (He and Britt have been wet almost every day now since he bought them, lol!!!) And with a gift card he got a bunch of fireworks, lol. He also now has 2 new fishing poles, and his Dad is going to finish ...906 days ago
OK, I know, I know.....where have we been?!!! Well, we have had a lot going on the past several weeks. First off, homeschool for the most part is done for the summer! YAYYYY!!! So now we have to find things for Dustin to do. Then I took on babysitting for a neighbor to earn a little extra money for Dustin's birthday. I am watching 2 boys on Mondays and Tuesdays. They are a big handful, but it's OK. It just means no sleeping in on those days now. And the days go by fast, although at times not fast enough! Also my brother and his wife are now staying with us for a bit. They moved here from Houston and left a lot of really bad things behind. It's not easy to live with family, but at least I know they are better off here. They seem to really like it here. Although my brother is having a hard time finding a job. And of course they have the same problem we do: one car. They brought their dog with them too. A Pug named Pugzlee. He doesn't care too much for ...
