Facebook

Well, sometimes I feel like I am trying to be a teenager but it seems like everyone is now joining Facebook too. I got started by the Marcrest 2nd ward group and found several others who are out there too.

If you are old ward buddies, (Stefanie) you would take a look and join. It is kind of fun. I don't have alot of time to play on it but it keeps you updated on everyone too :)

Take a look.

YES, I am still here :)

WOW, been a month 1/2 sing the last post.....Yes I am still here, I think :)

So much and not so much going on. Here is the bullet update I promised.

1. Jason is done with football and starting back into wrestling. It was a "teaching" year in football. I am sure you know what that means. We did win our last game so it ended on a high note. Jason is excited to play high school next year even though they are moving Cyprus up to a 5A school for some absurd reason.

Jason turned 15 on October 2nd and his brother got him tickets to Matellica....that was the only thing he really wanted. My son the head banger! We told them they were not allowed to inhall during the concert so they wouldn't get a contact high. I shouldn't be laughing about this!!!

I will have to post a new photo soon. He has gone to a shorter hair cut that looks good on him.

2. Justin has been working at Discover card since January and with me at Morris Murdock since July and lost both jobs the same week. Not BOTH his idea but he wasn't fired from either ether!! He is now working for Teleperformance with his Dad on the Dell project :)

Justin turns 19 on Nov 10th! I can't believe he has made it! We are starting him missionary paper work this month too. He doesn;t want to leave until March so we are taking our time.

3. Art and I leave for Israel this week and are so excited. My brother will be staying at the house with them and the dogs and keeping things under control. I am a little freaked out about leaving them for so long and also going soooo far away. We will be gone for Justins big birhtday also which makes me sad.

We are both busy busy busy at work. I won 2 round trip airline tickets so Justin and Art got to fly back to Memphis for the weekend a few weeks ago to see his Mom, Dad and grandfather. It was a hard visit but he was so glad he could go out.

I found out I get to go to Puerto Vallarta in December for work. It is a kind of reward trip and should be alot of fun.

I have been getting alot of attention at work the last month with a promotion and made employee of the month for the company and it has made me very uncomfortable. For those who know me well, I am not a center of attention kind of person.

On one hand it feels very good to be recognized for my long hours and efforts I have put into my job since July and my life turned upside down, but I wasn't the only one who survived the turn over and while I had more to do since it was my department most effected, there was a whole other group of wonderful ladies who were very traumatized by the events and left without direction either.

We have a new boss who seems to trust me and that makes me feel very good and that I want to work hard to keep his trust. I like the extra responsibility as it is something I really haven't had before and adds alot to the job. I just don't want to be resented by the other who haven't got the same recognation as I. Most people tell me to stop whinning, so I have. I just wanted to vent that for the last time. I am over it. I hope they will be happy for me, we are all in this together. LOL, isn't that a song?

Anyway that is the family update.

Next post will be photos from our trip. Love, Wendy
