The Lake weekend

We went to the lake on Saturday. It was at the Grand Bayou Resort, but you could just go in for the day and hang out at the beach, get in the boat, ski, jet ski, hang out and eat etc.
We were invited by our next door neighbors and it was cool because Annalese had never been to the lake before, never been on a boat, never been on a jet ski, and never swam in a lake. She got to do all of these things and had a blast doing them! She got a chance to drive the boat because our neighbor who owns the boat showed her how and then let her drive. She's a little bit of a speed demon and was going so fast that I about had to jump for the steering wheel and lever to slow down. She just smiled bigger and would've gone faster if we woulda let her.
We learned a new dice game and had a great time just hanging out and chatting it up with our new friends. We'll go again sometime because they like to camp too and have a pop up camper. I'm sure we'll make a weekend of it soon. Well, errr when it gets cooler.
It's pretty funny but the wife/mom is an only child like me, the husband is the baby of four kids just like Gary is and they have a daughter that is Annalese's age. Well, they have a son too but he is busy a lot this summer so we didn't get a chance to meet him.
I hate that I have work tomorrow since it's been such a nice and relaxing weekend but at least I had the time to relax and meet new people. I'm gonna go lay down and try to sleep over the obnoxiously loud movie that Gary and Annalese are watching..... Aliens! Uck!

Awwwwh how sweet

Here's our baby with her "I wish he was my boyfriend".

She's 12!!!!!!

We were able to get a great deal on a new guitar and strap and gig bag!! She's so excited and it does our hearts good to be able to do something for her on our own! God bless america...

Crossroads

WOW! It's been a long time since I've posted. We've moved to a new place, but is still extremely close to the last one. We don't plan on moving again, but things happen. The squirrel isn't so small anymore... she's 12 on Wednesday! OMG!
Work is going well. I work for a large company that specializes in Sprint cell phone coverage and it's very interesting work. I've got lots of interesting classmates. We're on the phones tomorrow for the first time so we'll see how that goes. Many things have traspired this last year that I can't even begin to go into since I'm just waiting for the babe's to get out of the shower so we can go get something to eat. I'm dyin' of hunger. Guess I'll make some turkey burgers and some corn on the cob. My oven doesn't work in the rental we moved into, and the place was a mess when we moved in... as if someone hadn't cleaned it in over a year or something. We've been busy trying to get some things moved in so maybe we'll have them bring Merry Maids over or something to get that taken care of.
The babe's wants to learn how to play the guitar, so we're going to get her that and lessons for her birthday.
Well, now that I'm working at a place with cell phones everywhere, I'm wanting a new cell phone. A text messaging and web browser friendly one. If you have a favorite one, let me know... I'd like to look into it.
Well, gotta go for now. We're getting our computer and new service hooked up at the house tomorrow morning so I'll have to update with some pictures then. Right now I can't put pictures on it due to using my Mother and Father in law's computer and it doesn't have any current pic's on it.
Have a wonderful week and I'll update later. Let me know what you're up to! I miss you JAYE!!
