Family Update

Yes it's another family update!! I haven't written one in a long while so I thought that I would write one and clue everyone in on what is going on here in Missouri. I hope to get back some family updates from everyone that receives this on what they are doing now. Derek and I are are not doing so well. I don't know when we will just finally decide that we need to just move away from each other. I mean we already know it's over. But- We have started the Financial Peace University Clan through Dave Ramsey. (not that is will change anything- actually I know it won't) Best thing I think we have done decision wise for our finances yet! We are taking the 12 week course and are amazed with what we can accomplish with a little bit of discipline. We recently made some huge decisions in our way of life. We cut off our television completely, cut off all of our features on our home phone to just basic, we cut up our 2 credit cards, and are beginning a whole total money makeover! We even have Jelessa and Ava aboard with the FPU Junior. I am in the midst of possible changing jobs in May. So that I can spend more time with the children with better hours. Derek is still working with Bordner. He recently changed from a Siding Foreman to a Windows Sales and Installer Foreman. Jelessa started Daisies Monday and she just started Spring Soccer. Ava Jane is completely potty trained and she is moving into Preschool One. I am so excited for her. She is such a girly girl. Complete opposite of Jelessa. Erin just moved to Colorado. She got the job of a life time with the Colorado section of the PGA!!! So I am very excited and happy for her. She starts tomorrow. She will be the operations manager. Mary Jane is back on Spring break. She recently quit the soccer team; due to some conflicts with her academics. She has decided that if the coach thinks soccer is more important then she must not be on the team. I am proud of her. I think it takes a lot of guts and dedication to your academics to realize it and say okay.. I'm in college for education NOT soccer. So a thumbs up for her. But then again she has always put that before soccer. John my step dad is in the hospital right now. He is pretty sick. I really can't discuss details at the moment, but I will keep everyone posted. My mother is doing great. Still going through the many surgeries to finalize her teeth implants for October.

Much Love,
