Mid Week Blues

Hi Everyone,

So it's mid-week of a grueling week of work for both of us. Can't wait till Friday is over. Not much new on the homefront - holding on until I get a break from work - next week on Friday it's party time. I am one of the lucky ones - every 9 weeks I get two weeks off. I feel like I am living in Australia sometimes - they do have the best vacation policies I've ever heard of. Before you all think it's a piece of cake - try working with 14-17 year olds everyday and you'll appreciate the time off just as much. I do cherish those two weeks off, it gets me grounded again.

Tiffany and Kyle went to Vegas last weekend - we gotta get her to start blogging! They had a great time and Kyle actually doubled his money at the roulette table (ok so he bet once and won and left - smart man). Them being away, gave Bob and I a weekend alone without the kids - the first at home in many years. We spent it relaxing, still unpacking - I don't think it will ever end - and of course golfing (1/2 of us).

Our weather in Arizona is finally just starting to give us a hint of cooler weather. The days are still hot but the evenings and especially the early mornings are absolutely wonderful. THAT alone is reason for a two week break! Our bike tires are pumped up and ready to be used very soon. Can hardly wait.

Missing Jenni and Justin terribly but excited because we do get to chat very often. It definitely helps. I love hearing their stories - check out their blog if you haven't.  If you have a video cam and want to know how to video conference them, just email me.  

Tiffany has been good - calling me everyday and she even came over for a free dinner last night and her and Kyle are coming over for a free dinner tomorrow night........hmmmmm wait a second......hahaha.

Hope all is well with all of you. Chow for now!

They made it - bags finally made it!

Ok just to update everyone looking at the blog, they made it to Poland after having a 3+ hour delay in their flight and then as Jenni put it "running till you felt like puking" in the airport in Chicago. They barely made their flight-last ones, but they did! Their bags finally caught up with them Sunday - totally destroyed. She said they probably cannot use them again. The bikes came in ok - Justin's box was trashed but hers was ok. He took out all his pieces and it looks like all is there and fine. Here's a picture of what they took. 

We've skyped about 3 times already, and it's like they are in our living room with us. I love it. Thanks goodness for the internet. They already have company too! Their friend they went to school with is in Poland for a few days, on his way to Bosnia to teach at a University there. 

Tiff and Kyle came over for dinner today and pool time. That was nice. Kyle turns 21 this Tuesday and on Friday they are on their way to Las Vegas. His parents from Boston are meeting them there. We will look into it and see if we can go too for one night. 

We've spent the weekend relaxing, finally cleaning the house and trying to feel like we are back on a regular schedule. It seems like such a long time since we've felt that. All I need now to finish things up is a puppy......an ongoing discussion.

Here's a nice picture of all of us  

Final Weekend Fun!

So everything lately has been - yeah yeah take a picture I'll put it on my blog! haha. I'm getting a little carried away but having fun! Here's a nice picture of the four of us going out for Jenni's last yummy margarita. She is assuming they may not quite have her favorite drink down pat in the Motherland! Justin - well he's going to be in his glory with different beers from around the world.

Here's some pictures of our fun evening with the Meyers. People say bob is soooo dark.....hahaha.

Getting Ready to Leave!

For the 4th time in his life (according to Justin) he decided to shave his hair off! Not wanting to deal with haircuts for a bit, he sat in the chair after Bob's haircut yesterday and said DO IT. We had fun with it - choosing different types of styles along the way. He was a trooper with us playing. He's still cute too!
