** New Life **

Well, It's official. I am 100% stay-at-home mom. I've been on the hunt for cost-saving items.

I've done some research on coupons - which took up a lot of my day yesterday. It's like learning a whole new world. As Tom and I swap roles.

Ryan has been gone for 2 days. He went on a trip with his friend Zach down South. It is country living down there. He was excited about visiting a pig slaughter house. I can't wait to hear all the stories. He should be home this evening.

Tyler was off to the movies with his friends a few days ago. He just loves hanging out with all his buddies. He has a big school project that is due in two weeks. We are going to sit down today and review the project.

Tom is training for the mini-marathon. He has reached out to church members to create a running group. He continue to run with Frank, who has ran with Tom over the past 4 years.

He has not be able to train as much as he wants with his long hours at AT&T, but he is working out a running schedule that will fit with his work schedule. It will be nice to attend the race this year.

I'm going to be very busy keeping up with the house, also I start school on-line. My first class starts on the 10th. Management Communication. I am also going to attend a meeting next week which is a 90-day service the company offers all managers. Even though I do not plan on jumping back into the work pool, I want to take advantage of the tools they have to offer.

In close, I wish each of you a happy jouney through life. I look forward to hearing from each and everyone.
