July & August

I'm alive. Yes I have resurfaced to explain my disappearance at least briefly.

I have changed jobs, and I am now working at IBC First Equity. I am a mortgage loan processor for Home Equity's, Home Equity Line of Credits, and Home Improvements. It's a great job, and I only actually work with one other person, my boss. She's really easy to work with and we are both new to the company.

Oscar and I have also gone on a trip to Carlsbad Caverns with my parents and the Barton family. We had a great time enjoying delicious fudge, a waterpark at our hotel, the caverns, and eating out. It was a unique and fun trip. We stayed in White's City, which is only a few buildings all connected by the same people running all of them. So you see the same people everywhere, and other than each other no one else is there.

Right after that, Oscar and I's nieces from his family who live in Juarez, Chihuahua , Mexico came to stay with us at our house for a little over a week. The girls are 6 & 7. They are completely different from each other, but both get a long great. Making the stay very enjoyable and entertaining. We had picnics, went to the movies, played at the pool, and Oscar took them around downtown and to Sea World while I was at work.

Then right after that, we got to go to the Brooks Family Reunion in Abilene, TX. It was great to see Jonathan, Adam, Robin, and Corban..... and of course, the Colton Family, Grandma and Grandpa, and everyone else. We had a great time there also.

So we've been busy. When we weren't having fun, Oscar and I have been working.

I am going to back to school this year at Amarillo College taking a couple of Distance Education classes.... Accounting and History. I am trying to take classes towards a Business Administration degree. I also might take classes towards being an architect as well, doing a double major. This may sound like a lot, but I probably won't be finish until I'm 40 or more anyways. So I'm excited to get back in school, and I think I will do better now that I'm married. Afterall, I've got a full time cheerleader or drill sargeant, whichever one I might be needing.

Well, time to say "Goodnight!"
