Well it has been a while since I posted so I thought I would post a little bit of what is happening in our life right now.  We are living in our new house. I love it but it's not all the way completed yet.  There is still some work that needs to be done to have it completed.  Jeff has been unemployed for a little while, he is going to be part of the Alabama unit in July and will be applying for a full time job with the military. He is working on getting whatever job he can right now.  I am a dental assistant here and enjoy my job but it's not in education where my degree is, I will have to go back to school to get my certification back. It has been very stressful at times financially but I will have faith that everything will work out. My children Lauren, Heather, and Trey are growing up fast.  Lauren and Heather are at a youth confrence this week and enjoying time with church friends.  Trey is at home and plays with his neighbor friend a lot.  I will post pictures as soon as I upload them and get them to the computer.  We are using the libraries computer for now until we get better situated. 

We have more puppies at our house Teddy our pug died recenlty.  My daughter Lauren was driving the car at night and Teddy was chasing the car and was hit by her.  He died and we buried him on our land.  One of the dogs became pregnant so we have more puppies by Teddy.  These puppies are special to our kids because they miss Teddy and some of the puppies remind them of him. I will show some pictures as soon as I can get them posted.

It's been a while since I last posted something.  Jeff is still working on our house, he has been putting lenolium in the bathrooms and in the laundry room. We still need to buy carpet also.  He is still out of work and hopefully will come across a job soon because that has been pretty hard to deal with! My sister Debbie's husband was recently diagnosed with Leukemia and has to have a bone marrow transplant.  They live in Boston and will be selling their house soon.  I hate that she is going through this trial.  I just saw them not too long ago at their sons wedding in Utah.  She found out about the Leukemia on her birthday.  My oldest brother also had cancer and I gave him a bone marrow transplant in 1983 or so.

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.
