New Year's News

Wow! I can't believe it is already 2009. So far 2009 has been pretty good. Dan now has a job!! We are so thankful! He is back to driving over the road. He is working for a new company that hauls for Fed Ex. ( wish it was actually fed ex then the insurance would be better ) He has dedicated run from Ft Worth to Columbus, Ohio
2x's a week and every other week he runs to Tenn. So he is only home for about 2 days a week. He was liking it until this week when he ran into Kentucky's ice storm. The truck got stuck in the snow (he wasn't driving it was his co-driver), then the lights wouldnt work, so they fixed that then the transmission went out and they were stuck in Indiana. He was stuck there for about 48hrs. Finally he was able to fly home early this morning. We have planned to go out of town and celebrate our birthdays! School started on Jan 20th. I am taking 12 hrs which consist of (1)Technology Applications for Classrooms

I'm loving it! He is smiling and coohing and getting bigger, he is such a butterball! I also have been diagnosed as a Diabetic. It has been scary for my blood sugar has been high (around 3-400).
