It has been sososososo long since I have posted anything on here. I think life just gets busier all the time. We had a good summer. Josh started 8th grade this year. He is doing ok. The first trimester is already over. This tri he has a class where he is building his own electric guitar. He is so excited about it.

I started a new job the 14th of Oct. I am working part time as a data entry person and helping with payroll and what ever else they need done, for Redi Services. Margo works for them and one day they were discussing hiring a part time person for this reason and asked her if she could recommend anyone. She gave them my name and they called me. It took me a week or so to decide if I wanted to interview for it or not. They interviewed me on the 13th and then called me that afternoon and asked if I could start the next morning. They said it would be about 15 hours per week, which is 2 days. I figured that would be good to get me out of the house and earn a little extra money. At this point I have worked 3 - 4 days every week. I really enjoy this job. I love doing data entry, payroll, filing, etc. this is a great job for me.

The end of September John and I got a new truck. The truck we had was needing a new engine which would cost us between $4500(if John did all the work) - $8500 if we had it done. That is way more than the truck was worth, so we decided we would rather make a payment on a new truck that was more reliable. So that is what we did. Josh really loves this new truck to. He thinks it is HIS. :)

Other than that we are pretty much the same old boring people.

Oh John will probably be getting an artificial cornea transplant in January sometime. They said it could give him anywhere from 30% - 90 % of his vision but he will still have no peripheral vision, just straight forward. He is excited for any vision at all in that eye.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
