How is everyone?

Our weekend was ok, the first one with her working Sat. So, we had Sunday to spend with each other, and tonight she'll be home too! I'm sure we'll get use to it the longer she is working, and this all will be worth it when we are out of debt and on our way to getting a house of our own again! How was all of you weekends? Haven't heard much from anyone lately, except for Mom, which is fine. Just thought I'd try to get more of you to comment. So, please let us know how your last couple weekends have been!

New Phone Coming

After about 2-3 years I'm finially having to buy a new phone. I had an i730 and I'll be getting an i860. I will have the ability to take pictures with it too, and email them right from the phone. I know this phone will be the last one I have with Nextel, because Tina and I are looking to move to Cingular after our contracts run out here, and they have more selection & experience with the PPT feature coming to there service this year!

We're in and settling down!

We moved out over the week end and now have our own space again! We'll still be using Mamaw&Papaw's house for laundry, bathroom and some cooking, but for the most part we can now be out of their way and have our own time with the kids. I don't know if you can have too many kids, but you can have too many parents, and that's what we were living for the past 10 months! To many people and to many differences on how and what to do with the kids can start to ruin relationships! So, it's best for us to be out in our own space until we can manage getting a house! Tina & I were driving around after the Sportsmen Expo yesterday, in the Plumas Lake area where we will be getting a house within the next year! 2-3,000 sqare feet homes going for somewhere in the neighborhood of $300-500,000. We had so much fun looking at boat with Papaw&Mamaw, fishing in a trout filled pool, making spinner bates (with beads), learning to fly fish, and walking that the kids fell asleep on the way home. So we took the time to dream build and search for the perfect look for our house! We re-ran out FNA and found that we can be completely out of debt in 4 years, but I plan to get most of it done this year by getting creative and using the tools I have available! Sat. was spent moving out all the electronics and clothing we needed, and we will be doing a lot more over the coming weeks with running a more permanent power cable under the ground, and digging a trench for our water, and phone & coax cable so we can have cable and internet out there! We also have a new A/C unit to install on the top in the spring before it gets to hot!

Busy Weekend!

Tina & I had a long weekend with MLK day, and we put a lot of our time to good use! Sat. , after helping Tina with the kennels, I had time to catch up on folding and putting away clothing, while watching the Seahawks win. Sunday we got surprised by Grandma & Grandpa Souza showing up and visiting with us, for Mamaw's birthday! We celebrated that in the morning and then got busy on putting our "Jesus Tree" down. We had a small tree in the window of the kitchen this year and put all of our spiritual ornaments on it! Then we went outside and got power hooked up to our trailer! Monday we started out over at the kennels again and then got the water hooked up to the trailer! We also got a chance to clean up from storm damage we had in the last month, and tried to get our propane working, but ran into a snag. We should have that fixed by the end of the week. We also found out that Tina will be starting her job next Monday! Hope everyone else had a productive weekend like we did!

Thing are looking up in 2006

Today was my first day with the City of West Sacramento, but not really! I've been here working as a temp through an agency for the past 8 months and today that is over! They offered me the job back in Nov. and I gladly took it! Although this is not my long term goal for income, it is needed at this time to make it, until Primerica can replace the income! To do that we I will be receiving the watch, because replacing this income will take me making $50K and PFS rewards all $50K earners with a watch. To do that I'm on a challenge for myself of contacting 500 people in the next 6 month, so I can take an massively active role in building our PFS business! But, we also needed Tina to contribute as well, and it looks like that she will be starting with Fremont-Rideout Hospital up in Marysville in the next week or two!!!! The Lord has really blessed us and we thank him for all our successes, and look forward to growing closer to Jesus in the coming year! We've started reading the Bible all the way through this year and look forward to learning more about the lord and growing spiritually big time this year! We love you all and know if you put the Lord first in your life like he is in ours you'll be blessed in similar ways!

King Kong

WOW, what a great job Peter Jackson did. Another fantastic movie from him! Of course we can not compare it to his previous epic tale of LOTR, but as far as graphics go he is the master in my option! He made Kong come to life, adding in personality that wasn't there in the two previous films! A definite must see in the theater! But as far as kids go, again it's up to you, the first hours of the 3 hour movie is kind of drawn out! But as soon as Kong hit the screen, it was action, action and more action! The best scene sequence being the T Rex fight! The worst being the stampede scenes! That is all I'll be saying about that, you'll have to be surprised like I was! There are a few scary parts, but not many, and very low on blood a gore as well! Perfectly done!!!!
