SEPTEMBER IS HERE ALREADY????

Well, one thing I don't miss, I don't think,

is getting Jakers ready for school. You know, buying

the school supplies, making sure you follow the list

the school gives you to the best of your ability....uggg

you reach the cash register and as the lady is checking

everything that is laying out on the counter, you shreak

just waiting for the total of purchase to come up. I remember

saying to myself under my breath "Wow, it wasn't this 

expensive last year." ha

Now Jakers buys his own supplies and he orders his

school books through Amazon.com, which according to

him, is a heck of a better deal then buying the books at

the bookstore. Good for you Jakers.....

Jakers is into his fall term at Arizona State University

and is enjoying all of his classes so far. Jake is a Junior......

wait a minute, can that be true?????? Yes it is....wow time 

flies by. He is already thinking about where he wants to do

his internship in his Senior year. He has a list so no way of 

knowing at this point. Great thing is, he has time to think 

about it and narrow down the list. I am excited to go through 

this journey with Jake, even though we are 2 1/2 hours flight 

away      : (

Jake will be coming home for a couple of weeks in December

and I can not wait. Last time he was home was in June.....

We miss him so much, but he is doing great. Going to school

full time and working almost 32 hours a week. A very busy

schedule indeed.....but he is doing great. Jake, Cat, Taylor and

family are doing great too! I unfortunately don't have any recent

pictures to add to this post. Hopefully soon....

Richard and I are doing fine....just plugging away at work and

home stuff. Not to exciting life style.....but we are doing fine. We

are doing some spring cleaning (I know, alittle late) but we want

to clean out some stuff. I had six big garbage bags of clothes for

Goodwill ready to go last weekend. Wow, I was really proud of

myself. Now, I need to go through my books and thin them out.

Those of you who know me well, this will not be an easy task for

me. I LOVE my books. We shall see. 

Our plan is to move next May to a smaller place..........we need to 

downsize and we figure we better get ready before our rent lease 

is up in May. I just know our landlady will raise our rent again........

ugggggg!!! We want to find a nice little two bedroom, one bath 

house in Milwaukie. So, if you hear of any great find.....PLEASE 

LET US KNOW....thanks   : )

I will update soon......
