Hi everyone! Boy have I missed you all!!!
Life has been keeping me pretty busy. I won't bore you with too many details, just suffice it to say "life stuff". You know, work, kids, hubby, hobbies, etc. Even my gramma yelled at me the other day cause I don't call her enough.
I got a promotion at work. Woo hoo! Sounds great right? Sure til you find out the company is getting ready to lay off a bunch of people next year and I very well could be one of them. (Yeah, thanks Mr. Boss-man for sucking the wind right outta my sails! Thanks a lot!)
Oh, I snagged me a deer too! A fantastic doe with a gorgeous coat (actually having the hide tanned). Perfect shot too... I do love my 12-guage.
Of course I really wanted a monster buck, but I'm what I call a "fair-weather hunter" and got tired of sitting out in the cold. Besides, I had all that other "life stuff" to take care of.
I believe I promised you some news. Remember a while back when I was asking you all about what branch of the military would be best suited for a young lady? Well, she did it! My 19 year old daughter, Aly, has joined the Indiana Air National Guard!
I want to thank each and every one of you who gave advice and guidance. Every bit of it was taken into consideration, it was very much appreciated and she certainly didn't take the decision lightly. Your input really helped... a lot.
Her ASVAB scores were fantastic, even her recruiter was floored! (She's starting right off with the element of surprise... thats my girl!) Now she just has to wait for a job to come available that she's interested in and then she'll be off to Fort Worth, TX for basic. The best part about the whole thing so far was when we announced it to the family last weekend during our "family Christmas" get-together. My mom shot iced tea out her nose.
Good times... good times.
Ok, it's your turn. Catch me up. What have I missed?
