Garfield has returned!

So, be truthful. How many of you knew that as soon as I got a new cat that Garfield would come home? Yeah...my hubby knew this too. So now I have 2 cats, which is fine with me because I love them!

Paul will be home from the Navy to visit for a week starting on Wednesday the 29th. I'm very excited about this! We still have Jason's friend staying with us, but he is going to Colorado in a day or two to visit his family and to scout things out there. I think that he is thinking that having his house burn down and getting laid off from his job in the same month might be some kind of sign from God that he needs to "get out of Dodge". Hmmm, maybe so.

Henry and I have submitted all of his information to the Connections Academy and are just waiting for the shipment of his books and computer. Hopefully I will have him out of school by Thanksgiving at the latest.

Stephi and Randy are laying laminate flooring in there house this week. I can't wait to see how it turns out. It will definitely be a GREAT improvement over the crappy carpet that came will the house... lots of stains on light beige carpet is gross!

Work is pretty much the same... actually better. They have trained some new people to be in charge... so I don't have to do it as often, which is good. I was starting to get tired of doing it all the time. It is nice to actually be a nurse. Makes me remember why I went to nursing school... I was starting to forget.

Last, but not least, I am becoming an official member of Copper Hills Church! I went to a class this past Thursday to learn more about the church and I am signing the pledge on Sunday. If you are all wondering about the Summit, they voted to dissolve last week and they donated their remaining assets to a few different causes. Pastor Scott was offered a full time ministry position at Copper Hills and I've started seeing a few more Summit folks at Copper Hills.

Life goes on.

Is it Friday already?!

Wow, I can't believe that this week went by so fast. As you may remember from an earlier post... Garfield has been missing. It's been over 2 weeks. So yesterday Henry and I went to the Arizona Humane Society and picked out a new kitty. She is 2 months old and already fixed (I had no idea that they do it that young now), she had her shots, is feline leukemia negative and is "chipped" in case she gets out.

Here she is:



LuAnn!

Ok, Ok... I'm awake!

I spoke with Henry this afternoon. Like most boys he does not like to talk on the phone. He did talk to me once last week for a few minutes. “I’m busy Mom. I’ll be home soon. Bye.” I got a few more words out of him this time. He asked how Cody is doing. So I told him how we took him to get fixed today and how he looks kinda stoned still. He asked about Garfield and I told him how hot it is outside and that Garf has been spending more time inside because of that. He told me about all the stuff that he’s been doing with his cousins and that they are going back down to the lake after dinner. He must be missing me a little bit since he actually talked to me a bit longer this time.
