Our Busy Lives....

Seems as the busier we get the less we do. Make sense, not really. Now that I am working a fulltime position in Evanston, being gone from Sunday night to Thursday morning leaves me little time to get things done at home. I prefer spending the time with Jesse and Randle than doing anything else. I am home for 3 1/2 days and gone for 3 1/2 days. The job is great and with being done with school the extra income with help us not be as strapped and finally get caught up. The time away from home sucks, but we are dealing with it. I talk to my guys every morning when I am getting off work and they are waking up, then sometime during the day after I have woke up then again at night when it is bed time. Jesse picks books out for me to take to work so that I can still read to him over the phone. He also has me tell him different stories to go with them or change them up using people he knows in the books instead of the book characters. He loves have his Uncle Jason in most of his stories, especially the skunk stories. And Jason is usually the one to get spraid by the skunk.
Our washer died on us last Friday night, so needless to say it was a better deal for us to buy a washer and dryer than just a washer. We got the LG brand front loading washer and dryer. They had a deal that if we bought the set then they were only $497 a peice in stead of $799 a peice, saving us about $650 by getting the set. Good thing I am working full time now, we wouldn't have been able to get them otherwise. They are really nice and Randle has actually been using them more than I have.
Jesse and I are taking Virginia shopping today then just spending the day doing things and she and I need to get done. Errands, ice cream, you know the fun stuff. Jesse just loves going to her house, plus when he calls her he keeps her on the phone for half hour or more talking her ear off. But all the kids love their GG, and she them.
Randle is also doing a great job at the rock wall he is putting up for our fireplace. After all the grouting is done between the rocks then Randle will start on the roof project to get the chimeny up and everything that goes with it.
So that is a little update from us. Hope everyone is well.



I will post more updates of the fireplace project as they come.
