Hello from Ohio

Hey Y'all!!! Look! I got in and am posting on the blog! Let's see, Kelly and I have been alone for a few weeks and the house has seemed really big. I am on a two week break from school and Kelly is racing for the finish. I'll send out announcements soon letting you know when he graduates. I created some really nice ones and am offering to do the same for anyone in his class for price.

I sent out a couple of inquiries to attorneys here in town asking if they hire paralegals and asking if they would be interested in a resume from me. I got an answer back from one so I need to compose a cover letter and get that out. I won't graduate until February but I really want to work here in Lancaster (FYI pronounced Lang-kis-ter) so that I'm here close by if the kids have a problem at school or want to stop by after school.

Kelly is thinking he would like to work for a patent attorney or for an outfit that retrieves information off of hard drives for discovery in litigation.

I haven't figured out how to digitize my photos yet. I do have a scanner but I haven't done anything with it; is is one of those printer, scanner, copier thingies. I have some really nice pics of here and if I can't figure out the scanner, I'll take them down and convert them to disk and see if I can get them posted that way.

The kids are having fun in Colorado and we get periodic updates which are really fun. Our neurotic cat really misses them but Winston doesn't seem to know they are gone. Jasper the cat is really funny. He will come up every once in a great while and just need to be petted. So you pet and pet and pet and then he just can't stand it any more and he turns around and bites you. He did that the other day and I sort of wiggled my fingers at him and he scooted away and then came back for some more. He begged to be petted for a few minutes then bit me again. I flicked him a bit and scolded him and he jumped to the edge of the bed. He sat there for a second then he crept back and bit me again and took off.

Winston has kind of turned into my dog...he loves driving around with me and barking at pedestrians on the sidewalk. When I figure out how to upload pics, I'll post one of him. He is really cute and looks like he should be really prissy and all but he is such a dog! He does all the gross doggy things like eat anything on the ground, pee on every upright post he passes, and run his nose all over everything.

I cut the missionaries hair so I don't feel obligated to feed them. They really like it. I was just released from the Relief Society presidency. They reorganized all the presidencies and right now I don't have a calling. It's kind of nice. I do the flowers for the chapel and the Relief Society room but other than that, I am just a face in the crowd for the first time in a long time.

That is about all that is happening here. We are looking forward to getting the girls back and school starts in a few weeks. I figure you all who have young kids are starting the get busy with school shopping.

That's all for this time!!!

DEBBIE'S NEW CAR AND TETONS

YES, it is true.  I finally got a new car.  Well, new to me anyway.  Bob and I took my new car on a test drive to the Tetons and Yellowstone Park, this is one of our favorite places.  Here are a few of the cool pictures we took.

This is Kent and Stacies youngest, Brinley.  She is almost 2 years old.

we all drove around the top of the island one day.  I had a travel book and found a cool place called olivine pools.  They are natural lava pools that you can swim in, dive in or whatever.  there are tropical fish there too.  Not too many people know about these pools, they are not noted on the roadside, but our travel book talked about them.  It was fun, unfortunately Mom and Dad were not able to go there because of the location, at the bottom of a steep, rocky slippery mountain.  We loved it, but wished Kent and Clint and Cherise were there.  One day we will go back and share this place with everyone!  

here is a picture of mom and dad in the hot tub.  This was something we did every night after a busy day.  I think they loved it.  Mom and dad are so friendly to everyone, and made friends every night with someone new.
