Hey All

Hi, Josh what a wonderful idea and thanks for inviting me. So just to let you all in on what has been going on in the past little while. God knows we don't see each other enough! We really need to meet at least once a year at someone's house for a few days and catch up. Anyone got any ideas?????
Ok so on to my lovely life. As most of you know I have been taking care of my brothers lovely children for the past 15 months. Gee I didn't know raising a teenager would be so much fun, otherwisse I would have had them first. Let's see I am currently taking care of Amber 15, Desi 11, and Soleil 7 (which is my lovely daughter). Gary my brothers son, stays with my mom and dad (poor boy...jk) We won't know for sure until we go back to court next week if they are going to stay with us until they are 18, again, aren't I a lucky person. I love my neices very much, but I am the first to tell you "raising a teenager is like nailing jello to a tree". Soleil is active in Cheer America, she has been doing this for like 4 years. Loves it. Desi is also a cheerleader for our pee-wee football team. And Amber who is like the most uncordinated person I know is trying out for cheerleading for basketball. OMG what am I going to do??????LOL Other than that they are great.
As for me personally and my sanity I lost it a long time ago, but I will try and give you all a brief update. I am still at my same job that I have been at for the past almost 8 years as a Customer Consultant. I aslo work on the weekends at out local drug store, I am President of the PTO and I volunteer in the summer for Little League (thanks to uncle clark) I will be done with my Associates Degree FINALLY in December (next month). I also managed to get invited to join the Phi Theta Kappa National Honor Society. So needless to say I am very busy. Oh and I finally learned how to cook. YA for the kids, they are no longer starving....jk (they know how to use the microwave). On a lighter side of things. Keith and I have decided to take a break from each other. Just alot going on. All is well though and we remain really close not only for Soleil, but for us as well. So it is now an all girl house....aaaaahhhhhhh stop the madness..........No really all is well. The girls help with cleaning and things like that! They do keep me on my toes though. Thank goodness for texting. They all have cell phones to keep in touch with me.

So that is it in a nut shell. Can't wait to talk with everyone.

Keep this going, it's a great idea

Brand I will see you this weekend. The girls can't wait to see River and I can't wait to see you and Ash. I am thinking we will see you on Saturday! Pop the wine!

Miss you guys! Take care Jeanie
