I'm working as a dental assistant in Hanceville, Alabama for Pete Dube.  I have been there about a month or so now and I am learning so much about dentistry. There is a nice park across the street, so I go walking every morning when I can. Hopefully will lose some weight.  It's getting close to Christmas and Jeff is still out of work so it will be a lean Christmas this year.  Hopefully he will be getting some good job offers soon!  It's been kind of stressful but I'm glad I'm working at the moment to help out.  Lauren just had her wisdom teeth pulled yesterday morning and she is doing better today.  She went to the Christmas party last night at the church.

Heather came in eleventh place in her cross-country race! She came in first place from her school! Great Job Heather!!!

Well we have five new pug puppies at our house, they are cute but they will have to be sold or given away when they are older.  We have kitchen cabinets put up and we are still sanding the walls and painting.  Only some of the ceiling will be slick finished because of the endless more hours of sanding.  We will spray popcorn in the bedrooms, I know usually people hate popcorn but my husband says it will look nice with a brighter white and we won't have to sand the bedrooms as well. Heather did GREAT at her last cross-country meet, she came in 11th place and got a  t-shirt for her efforts. She came in first place from her school.

Not much new going on at our house.  We are still hard at work on finishing the house.  I want to take lots of pictures when it's all done, it may be a while.  Jeff is here with me at the library.  The kids are at school today.  I will work on the house when I get home.  I'm always working on the house!

Lauren loves to drive now and wants to drive everywhere, she has her driving permit so I drive with her or Jeff. She loves to drive the honda accord with the sunroof down and has a lot of fun driving it.  I like the car too so I make sure shes careful with it. Trey enjoys school and Heather is doing really well in school an "A" student.  I help Jeff with the house as much as I can.  He is searching for a job and will be busy with the National Guard. I have a calling in church to help the cub scouts on Wed. so thats fun. I'm still working on finishing the drywall.
