Advents Corner

Matt is working so much lately sometimes it seems like forever before I get to see him. Now that he is the operations and IT manager they look to him to take care of a lot problems. Even though he could get other people to handle it the president likes to know that Matt is there making sure everything is going well. The other they were having trouble with the patch panels so he did not get home until we were all in bed. I get up at 5 am so staying up late to wait on him is sometimes out of the question.

Matt’s parents are moving down (hopefully sooner than later) and Dad told Matt he would have to get some golf clubs and learn to golf so he can go with Dad and Don(Matt’s brother). I guess we will be shopping for Matt some Callaway irons before too long. Then we can go golfing with all the guys because he is the only one that does not golf, so we knew it was only a matter of time before “peer” pressure kicked in.

Since I started the new job I have been working 10 hour days, minimum. I am use to only working 7.5 hours per day but this does not seem to phase me. My third day on the job I started taking Biotivia and I really think it has made a difference. I don’t know if it is the Apple Skin Extract, Goji Berry Extract or the Alpha Lipoic Acid but something is working well.

I feel like I have more energy, I am sleeping better at night and waking up feeling good. I am sure it has something to do with the fact that I love my job now but who knows. I am going to keep taking them because something is working.

You see this everywhere,land for sale Branson. With the economy turning the way it is you can pick up land really cheap right now. It is not that the land is bad it is that now people are tightening their belts for the recession so land prices are dropping. We have family moving in from Hawaii and now it the best time for them to buy a house in our area. The prices are on a continuing downward turn and the market they are leaving is still doing well enough for them to be able to sell their house. I am hoping they are going to get here soon. Matt is starting to travel a lot with his job and I am always welcome to tag along but we don’t have anyone for Lani to say with. Next month Matt is going to New York City and I would love to go with him but unfortuantely we do not have any one to help us with Lani, but that would be such a cool trip to go on.

While Matt and I were out at Costco getting diapers and wipes for Lani we were looking at all of the new games for the Wii. We are wanting to get Guitar Hero III but they only had it for the Xbox and we really want it for the Wii instead. I love playing the when we have guests over because it gets everyone involved and talking and laughing. Besides it gets you off of the sofa unlike the other games out there you actually have to do the work when you play the game. Like bowling you can bet you arm is going to be sore the next day after a marathon bowling session with the family.

We finally bit the bullet and bought a new DVD player with surround sound. The one we had was about 6 years old and it would not play DVDs sometimes. In fact it would dictate which DVD you were going to watch at what time. The last straw was when I took the wrapper off of the brand new Dumbo put it in to watch with Lani and it would not work. I was so upset, it was a brand new movie. So off we went to Best Buy and got a new system. I love it and man what a leap in technology from our old one. So next is going to be a tv wall mount. I think that would be so cool, it would really be like you are at the movies.

Long story short we still owed Jill a unbirthday and Christmas present so I took to my laptop this weekend and did some shopping. I got Jill the prettiest designer jewelry. I got her a bracelet and necklace. I hope she likes it and that she forgives us for it being so late. Here it is April and I am just sending out Christmas present, that is a sad note. Anyway I am hoping that she likes the gifts so much that it does not matter that it is 4 months late.

Michaela got a new job and she starts next week. We are hoping with the new job she once again learns the joy of savings accounts. She did really well the last time she had a job by putting money into her savings account every time she got paid. With her trying to save money to pay for her car insurance I think she will start socking away money in savings one again. She graduates from school in June so I know having a car will become very important to her.

I am excited about Mom and Dad moving down because Mom is very active and I hope I can start to do things with her. I know I need to add more exercise to my life but maybe a supplement would help too something like Orovo or something. I just need something to give me a little help. I have about 15 pounds I really want to get rid of. I seems like every time I talk about it I tack on a couple more pounds. I guess that is life….you are never satisfied.

Well I am still liking the new job but I do believe sometimes the agents that call are taking testosterone boosters because WOW!!!!! Sometimes they are really bold. We had someone in the office not doing their job so well and those of us that are left are paying the price, which can be very frustrating most of the time.
