Hello to all. I thought that was a funny title for Brent and I but I hope that is not the sentiment of my WONDERFUL in-laws.
Brent and I are keeping very busy and waiting for ground to be broken on our home. I guess they are waiting for permits still which can be the most unpredictable thing with construction. I hope for K&B's sake that everything else goes smoothly for a timely departure from their home to our home.
We have been so busy that we often forget about how awesome having our very own home will be. Then it occassionally hits us and we'll get a little giddy thinking about our fabulous flooring and the upgrades that we spent so much time pondering over.
Brent is working this Sunday morning to fullfill the obligatory monthly Sunday shift so that the other managers can get a full weekend off per month.
I am obviously not studying at the moment for my big national PT board exam which will happen on Thursday of this week. I haven't exactly crammed or anything for it which scares me a little given my tendencies. Then I remind myself that it has an 82% pass rate nationally now and statistics say that if you did well in your PT program then you will do well on the test. I just hope I wake up that morning feeling with it and then run over to Portland, take the darn thing in less than 5 hours and be home to celebrate. I will give the Oregon PT board lady my cell # and she will call me within a couple days to tell me if I passed. I guess it is much quicker time than the Engineer's big exam which takes 2 months (Amy's husband just took it).
By the way, we had a great time with our wonderful family at our first Hallowen party up in Washington. The food was great and it was so easy to have us all contribute something to make such a feast... and surprisingly we didn't have too many sweets overpowering the dinner food. I am flattered by Marnie's friend's comment about being cool that the adults dressed up. Why not right??
What would have made it even more fun would have been the attendance of the rest of the Stinchfields but one can only dream. Having family so spread out really makes you appreciate the promises of the Celestial Kingdom.
That's it for now, just waiting to hear news of 2 new babys coming... Kim's and Amy's. We miss everyone and love to read your blogs!
