Marker

Wow, today marks our 26th Wedding Anniversary! I thank God for my husband every day. He had to make him extra special to put up with me this long! If you've seen the movie "Fireproof", which I haven't yet - but I intend to - I got myself the book called "The Love Dare" which is like a 40 day challenge to appreciating your spouse and improving your marriage. I'm still on page 1 because I'm finding that I'm not as patient as I thought I was. Hmmm. Anyway, it looks interesting and I challenge any married person out there reading this to give it try. So if it works, you have a richer relationship with your spouse, and if it doesn't - well, you'll have the same old thing. It may take me 40 years at this rate, but it'll still be fun.

Homeowners

The last of our children are homeowners! Nick and Sara put in an offer on a house and it was accepted tonight. So they will get a taste of being a homeowner. They should close by 4/30 so May will be filled with fixing the house and moving in. The house is as old as me so needs a face lift too :) Anyway, it will be fun. They are very excited.

Rose's Birthday

Last week was Rose's Birthday, followed by a celebration over the weekend! Thanks Debbie for organizing the statue!

Thanks to Marlene (Rose's BFF..best friend forever) for the idea!

Happy Birthday Susan!

Tomorrow is Susan's Birthday! The girls are going up fast!

Michelle was informed today that she has been accepted into the PhD program at Oregon State University! So after she graduates with her Masters in May, she will begin the next step this summer! We're very excited for her and proud of her! Whoohooo!!!!!!

Just to keep everyone in the loop....
Last Friday, Nick's Grandpa had a heart attack. He's doing better and went home on Sunday. He's the jogger, golfer and very active. So you just never know.
Sara's gotten another sinus type cold. She went to the doctor today. She may have mono. Eeek.
Rick went for a job interview today. He felt good about how he did. We'll see what happens.
Michelle interviewed for the PhD program at Oregon State University. She felt like it went well.
I'm keeping very busy. Am looking forward to a bit slower pace in a few weeks.
Suji, our friend who's been staying with us found a rental right around the corner, so she'll be moving out.
All is well here. We miss you all!

Ok, Guy Fieri from the Food Network was in Boise, so Deb decided to have lunch with him!
