Everyone thinks that I should bring this blog up to date. I have been harrassed by my daughter and now my neice. For example Lisa wrote on my facebook wall:

I'd be upset if I was in NM too. I don't blame you. And, by the way, your blog is sucking it up! maybe you should post occasionally!
And Kirsten is on me constantly to update my blog page. She likes to call and ask “so, when are you going to update your blog” I don’t have the time I used to it seems I have a lot more on my plate right now. My job now is much more demanding of my time. So for all of you who think that I should write more here you go. I didn’t know that I was going to have to keep everyone updated on what was going on, so I make no promises on how often I can write and keep this blog updated. I am also not a big writer.
Some great things that have happened since last I wrote. Jacob completed his eagle scout project last Satureday and will be having his eagle ceremony in December when his dad gets home. We are really proud of him for accomplishing this goal in his life. Now Tyler needs to do his eagle scout project, and is on the hot seat to get that accomplished.
We had lightening strike so close to our house that it lit it up for a few seconds and blew several things in the house. Our satellite dish blew plus two receivers, a phone, the DSL box, our printer and recently we had to have the heater board replaced, we found that out when it got cold. All of this has not been a fun time, I hope I have found all the things that needed replaced. I am not looking forward to that happening again. For those of you who have heard that lightening never strikes in the same place twice that is a joke. Move to New Mexico and you can watch it strike in the same place all the time. This is the second time that lightening has struck close to us. Last time it took out the transformer in front of the house.
I am heading off to AZ for training and meetings. I like the chance to go to AZ I get to see family and especially the granddaughters. So I am still on the frequent flyer miles plan that has not changed. Paul was also in AZ for a few days for a project and he was able to see family and to bring Bre’s car to NM for us. She was in an accident about a month ago. She was hit by a “hit and run driver” which they caught and arrested. He was pulling a flat bed trailer and did not leave room for his trailer when he moved into her lane to pass a slower car. He side swiped her into the middle cement barrier with the flat bed trailer he was pulling and the guy behind her was not paying attention and hit her from behind. The guy who started this chain of events did not have a driver’s license or insurance which is always the case with these New Mexicans. His passenger was also and illegal and both were arrested. We have been dealing with this little problem for several weeks now.
OK, this is all you get this time I can’t guarantee when I will be writing again. Busy, busy woman here, I am better with the pictures on facebook than writing what is going on.
