About Tina.............

Hello to everyone in blogland! Hope ya'll have had a great Monday. Today was just like any other Monday here. Was quiet, uneventful till later today/tonight. There is an issue with Tina...I know, I know, I know. There is nothing I can do about it, do about what she does, do about how she handles things, etc. I have always relayed messages to her that were given to me to do so. What happens from there is out of my control.

I do not hardly talk to her. She was here for Nick's graduation with her friend. He had vacation time at that particular time, and had to be back to work for the bigger gathering that we had in Storm Lake for Nick & Samantha. Ashley has talked to her about getting a hold of people, Family is Family, and her and I went through my planner to cover phone numbers for different family members, and that she had them. I watched her go through his phone & check numbers as we looked at them in my planner. What happens from there again I have no control over.

She was suppose to call on Saturday when Chuck was golfing with the guys (the 29th) so that she could talk to John, and whomever was there. Well, I am sorry she never called. I have had numerous times where she had told me she would call, and has not called here. Sorry everyone, but she hardly calls me anymore. I might get a call maybe like once in every 3? months, or longer. I quit counting since it keeps getting longer, and longer for when she does call here. I keep thinking to myself that at some point I will not hear from her anymore as it has been going that long with no contact.

It is her business what she is doing, and I cannot do anything about it. I have my opinion of whether I like it, or not, and if I agree with it. But, to keep peace I just keep that thought to myself. It is not my fault, and I am sorry that she is hurting many with what she is doing. Again, I am really sorry about this, and wish I knew more of what to say. But, I cannot report what I do not know, and cannot do anything about what I have no control over. She is a big girl, and makes her own choices. Anyway....enough said as there is no more that I can report about this. Just that I am sorry for all the hard feelings it is creating for some.

Have a great week everyone. Later...Kim

Good News, Jobs, Life

Thanks to Diane, I was able to get this group photo from her facebook page. I cannot find this on my digital camera that I thought someone took for me. I think it might be on my 35 mm, but have to develop that film yet. Forgot batteries for that camera to finish taking the 6 pics that were left on the film when the batteries went out.

Well, this morning I heard some commotion upstairs, and thought maybe Nick had a furry little visitor again...they seem to like his room:) Anyway, it was not that. He was all excited as a job he had applied with, and they had him do some welds to show what he could do, had called him to be hired. So, he is all excited now, gave his 2 weeks notice at work, and will now be working Mon-Fri during the day. No nights, and he likes that along with more pay he will get too. Wishing him luck.

Also, want to wish Ashley luck too. She has been slowly looking at different job possibilities, and is waiting to hear on 1 that she is interested with. Best of luck to her too.

Chuck has been busy with work. Right now he drives everyday, and soon they will finish where they are, and be coming closer to home for a bit. Then, they have a big job in south dakota they should be on by the end of July, and of course looking forward to that one he says. He drives a good 60 miles 1 way for work. Good thing we have the Honda now...way better gas mileage. But, within the 1st mth of having it 1 morning he had a deer jump out & across the car. Put a good bump in the hood, not anything to the front of the car, just the hood. What luck, right?:)

Happy Hump Day to everyone! Later..........

Issues with both cameras on this day...the digital was acting up again, and the 35mm batteries went out with like 6 more pics left on the film. I thought someone had used my digital, and got a family shot of all of the family, but I am not seeing it on the camera. I hope there is a descent one that was taken with my 35mm before the batteries went dead on it. Or...if I can find someone else who got the picture, and I can copy it from them. I will keep a watch out for it as it was ALL of the family that was there along with all the kids....what a family!:)

Here are a few pictures from the combined celebration for Nick and Samantha on May 30th. Everything went great, and it was wonderful to see all that could make it too!

Nick's Graduation

This is the invite that went out to everyone for Nick's graduation in Sheldon.















I thought this invitation looked ok, but when I received them in person the middle picture was sooo dark you couldn't see Nick's face. What a quick heated discusssion that was with the company, and the above invites were the ones that were ordered.

Well, here it is how much later, and Nick is graduated now. He graduated from Sheldon High School on Sunday, May 23rd. This fall he is enrolled with NCC in Sheldon for welding, and he wants to take automotive too. On June 16th we get to go for his orientation at the school. He starts I believe it is August 18th? he said? I have to find that one out definitely to share:)
