Hello there! It's just me again :)
So much has happened recently it is hard to know where to start. Just to let you all know I do red your journals, but I got alot to catch up on. When I wake up I mostly go to face book or singsnap. I rarely write in here. I miss jland!!!!!!!!
It seems like when I write in here not that many people read it anymore and sometimes I feel like I am just talking to myself, so if you do read say howdy!
Ok let's start with Eric my 27 yr old son and the love and joy of my life. Eric is still living in Austin. He is now in his own apartment, which is better than my own house :)..He has a third floor apartment and the view is spectacular! His swimming pool is awesome and the hot tub...well let's just say I could stay there for a long time. I recently went to visit him for week. It was a great time. He now has a girlfriend. I like her pretty much, but I guess no one is always happy with everything about their child's choice. I won't go into details just in case this is somehow assessable to the public. I would not want to hurt any feelings.
He is working as a delivery person for Jason's Deli which just kills me since he spent all that time and money getting his associates degree and is not using it at the moment. I know work is hard to find especially Chef jobs in Austin since they have a fresh batch of graduates every year. One of Eric's problems is his teeth. He has always had trouble with his teeth since he was a baby. Now I found a place called Clear Choice who do teeth implants. I am going to bite the bullet and have the work done for him so that his confidence is better and I think it will help with both the job and the girl situation. The only problem is that it is going to cost me 20,000.00 to have the work done...yes...you read that right the first time...
His girlfriend has two children from another guy. They are 1 and 4 yrs old. I of course love the children. I just think Eric is taking more on than he needs to. I have to put this in God's hands and not worry about something I have no control over.
Anyway...Rick and I are doing good. Rick planted a huge garden this year. We have radishes, cilantro, okra, corn, green beans, onions, squash, tomatoes, and numerous other veggies growing there. We also got a plum tree and some pepper plants growing. I spend alot of my time reading on the back porch watching the birds that come to visit each day.
We are not back at work yet, but will have to return soon. I will go back to HEB where I was a cashier. I still have my insurance license, but that kind of work bores me terribly. Rick is not sure what he wants to go back to work for. He knows how to do almost everything, so his options are many. As long as he can find a company who is hiring.
Sadie my puppy is doing good and her pup Shelby who now lives with Eric is doing well too. We had a recent scare with Shelby as she tried to take up smoking, we had to rush her to the vet. She is fine now.
We are still getting rid of stuff at my parents house and hope to sell it this year. Then I divide up the money and go back to my "normal" life. I can't wait!
We need to have a few more yard sales and get organized.
Eric will be having the dental surgery within the next 90 days, We want to go on one more vacation and then it will be back to work.
Hopefully with Eric's new teeth he will get a better job and well...
Anyway. I hope you are all doing well and that you had a nice Easter.
We spent ours with Eric and his "family".
Take care of yourselves and I will see you on facebook :) xoxBarb

Thank you everyone for your love and prayers!!!

AND NOW TO SOMETHING A LOT MORE FUN...SEE IF YOU CAN SPOT THE LIE..
Ok, so my friend John tags me in his note which tells me that he wants to know 30 random things/facts about me just to get to know me a little better and shared the same with me about himself (hisself?). He added in the 1 lie, so you guys will have to figure out which one is the lie. Here are the ground rules: 1. When you read this, you have to create your own and tag at least 30 people and don't forget to tag the person who sent it to you (in this case, me). 2. Make it interesting. Tell us just some random things about yourself, or just some strange facts we may not know about you. 3. Have fun with it!
