Hell all, well we haven't given an update in a while, been busy, busy, busy here.
Krista has been running cross country and then there was home coming, dances, school parent meet the teachers nights, driving practice, home work help, and getting her plane tickets for Christmas in Chicago. She has been busy so therefore so have I lol. Oh and of course her flavor of the week, man I need a whole planner just to keep up with which boy is cute this week LOL. She got asked to home coming by a boy named Nathan, nice kid, he runs cross country with her. They had a good time. She is currently down in Kenai running at regions. She is sad to see the season ending but is hoping to fill the winter with either dance team or basketball cheer leading. I tried to talk her into cross country skiing but she said no way, that is way to cold!! Besides that would interfere with her vintage snow mobile race season lol. Yes she is her fathers daughter, she loves racing her vintage snow machine. She is doing good in school so far all A's and B's and she has double the work this year as she got special approval to take two math classes, some honors classes and some college level classes. So homework has kept her and me busy lol.
Ashley has been busy packing up her room, and sorting out what clothes stay, and which ones find a new home in Krista's closet, much to Krista's delight. Although she won't give up any of her shoes! She has almost two totes full of shoes!! I told her man those could go to at least 3 different countries and put shoes on all those teenagers feet LOL. She said mom don't you dare! So I had to sign in blood that I wouldn't give them away when she left LOL. It is weird to see her pack up her room and know she will probably never live with me again. I have mixed emotions, I am both extremely proud of her and very sad at the same time. She is still working and she is getting her car ready to sell as the Air Force won't move it. She is planning to buy a truck once she gets her first base assignment. With her military pay, her PFD and the money from the sale of her car she should be able to pay cash for a pretty nice truck and still have quite a bit left over. Air Force graduation is set for December 10th with a family dinner on the 9th in San Antonio, TX. If you want an invitation to this event let me know as you will only be able to go if you have an invitation in hand. Dave and I are so excited for her. Dave can't keep from telling her and everyone else how proud he is of her, do you think he is a proud papa?? I am not any better LOL. Once she graduates her school will be in Biloxi, Mississippi, she will get a break for Christmas and is not sure if she is coming up here, going to Idaho, or Washington, depending on how much time she gets she may go visit Uncle Bob's family Loraine and Fanny for Christmas.
David has been hunting for the last couple of weeks, sadly the great white hunter has come up empty handed. I told him that I am starting to doubt that all those pictures of dead animals were actually his LOL. I asked him if the orax and the goat were actually bought or shot by someone else and he just bought them off other people and posed next to the animal so it looked like his, so needless to say I am NOT funny LMAO!! But of course I think I am hilarious! Might be why I have had to sleep in my car the last couple of nights, OH WELL LOL. He is actually been pretty bummed about not getting anything. His buddy Larry is up from New Mexico and goes home Saturday night, so they are hunting everyday trying to get something and went out on a fly out hunt down in Kodiak. Larry got a deer but the weather turned bad and they had to get out quick so nothing for Dave. He is praying for snow to start tomorrow LOL, he is all excited for it to come so his race season can start and so he can go riding. He goes back to work on Sunday and then from there he will be busy.
As for me, I have been running trying to get Ashley ready and setup for Basic, Krista to races, dances, school and being the cheer leader for her. Helping David get ready for all his hunts, booking airline tickets, cooking, cleaning, and helping with home work. Of course it is football season and my beloved Green Bay Packers are 2-0 so far, so it is a good time of year. I am getting us Direct TV they come on Monday and of course I got the NFL package so I can watch all the games. I know sad huh, but I like football and it gives me something to yell at besides Dave, the kids or the dog LOL. Now if I could just figure out how to get a giant 72 inch TV like my Dads to fit in our house I would be good LOL. I could feel like I was actually at the game! I have been trying to give up my soda pop addiction, my poison of choice is coke, and I swear they must still lace it with cocaine cause it is harder to kick than smoking! I gave up smoking with no problem, but man it is hard to kick the addiction of something you have had pretty much every day of your life since you were 13. Dave and I are both trying again to loose some weight. Our goal is to be able to ride the roller coasters at 6 flags when we go down to Texas in December, with out having to suck it in or worry that the restraints are gonna blow wide open LOL. That and we have to fly and I hate!!!!! flying. Did it for so many years and really dreading it since I have gained the weight. But I am working on it one day at a time. :o).
Well that is about it. I am still loving my new car and having a ton of fun driving it, kind of excited to try it out in the snow. Well better run. I will try and add some pictures a bit later of Krista's home coming date, her dress and some pictures from Dave's hunting trip. We miss and love you all a ton!!
He's definately not the flavor of the week. Never was. There's a new flavor now.
