The Fun's Over and it's Time to Get to Work!

I've been told that my new address for at least 6 months will be Stillwater, Oklahoma. We have been working on obtaining a site for Stillwater for 2 years and it's finally going to happen with construction starting next week on an existing building. We should be open May 1st if all goes well. Kyle will be moving down from our Jefferson City store to manage this territory and well be joining him as long as it takes to get the store up and running. We're excited about this market with it being the home of OSU but the hours will be ridiculous!!

It was definitely an experience trying to find a place to live in a college town that would meet my standards and the rent is EXPENSIVE!

Texas with the Folks

We returned from the Florida Keys to snow and decided to head back to warmer weather and visit my parents in Harlingen, Texas. We went to our first jam and it was actually alot of fun. I secretly told them it was my Dad's 79th birthday and they surprised him with singing "happy birthday".

We attended "western day" in their park for a parade and entertainment. We had quite a few laughs about retirement in Texas with Terry and I thinking we weren't ready for this life.

The musicians at the jam were really good and anyone could get up to sing and participate. I would have joined in but they didn't know Mony, Mony. We also went into to Mexico where Terry got a pedicure and a $4.00 haircut. I'm glad we took this time with my parents as life's too short but they are more active than we are!

Texas Here We Come!!

Mom & Dad called and wanted us to come visit them in Texas for a couple of weeks, so here we come. It doesn't take much to convince us to get out of this cold weather.

Missing Persons Report!!

Where O where is RK & DK?? They never made it to The Keys to see us as they decided to stop in Mississippi and stay in a "DRY COUNTY". We sure missed you!!

I have to say that driving didn't seem as bad after their adventure.

Key West

We spent a few days down in Key West and the sunsets were beautiful. The sights were fun to see but we decided that we liked the quiet life in the Middle Keys better.

Florida Keys

My brother, Mike and his girlfriend Pam came down for a few days to liven things up.

Debbie came down to make sure I was living a healthy lifestyle but she ended up being a bad influence. We had so much fun running, riding bikes, and of course happy hours.

In our backyard where we spent many happy hours by the pool. Terry told me we weren't on vacation but this is our new lifestyle & I sure fit into it well!

Florida Keys

Terry decided he wasn't going to suffer through all of "Old Man Winter" so we went to the Keys for a month and had a great time. We rented a house in Marathon and our neighbors, Bill & Jan took us out fishing but the pelican was the only one that caught a fish.

I loved going to the fish market everyday for their fresh catch. Yellow tailed snapper was my favorite and yummilicious!

Evan's First Christmas

Evan's growing up so fast! He rolled over for the first time at Grandma & Papa T's.

Better Late Than Never!!

We had so much fun with Lauren this Christmas! One of her favorite gifts is the little travel bag that has a blowdryer and etc... in it and she loved using Kyle as her model.
