Wow! I was looking at my sisters blogspot and thought "I should actually do something on our blog" I looked at the date of the last entry July 2007! WWHHAATT! My life is passing me by very quickly. I thought it was interesting that I talked about Donnie running the crash/rescue part of the Mount Comfort Airshow last year and that is where he is at this week!
I'm still at the office as the practice manager for six physicians. It's been a year now and I still learn something new everyday. Most of it I would rather not know but that's part of the job. I've enjoyed it but have honestly had some rough times with it. Dealing with people isn't fun at all. I just wish that everyone would come to work, do their job, not complain and go home. But that's not how it is.
Donnie is still at the airport. He took a 8-5 job in December as the Division Chief of Training and Code Enforcement. He decided in May that it wasn't for him because he likes the "operation" side of fire fighting. In normal terms that meant that he wanted to go back to the 24 on/48 off and start running with the boys. He couldn't stand working behind a desk and everyone else going out on emergencies. But he tried it, and now he knows that as this point in his life it's not what he wants. It's been a blessing because the summer he worked while I worked and the kids were left here at the house by themselves. Yes, I work a mile away but I really worried about them. So, now he's home most of the time and has things done including dinner. It's nice and yes, I'm spoiled.
Kyle is in the 7th grade (12 years old) now. He's almost 5'5 now and not even hit puberty! He wears a size 10 1/2 shoe! I'm done looking eye to eye with him, now I have to look up.
He's playing football for the middle school but hates it. We'll see how that pans out.
Kara is in the 4th grade (10 years old). She has been blessed with the Fulk side for height. She's going to be short like the rest of us.
Seriously, I'll try to get some pics up soon. : )
