Just thought I would say hello to everyone. I have been so darn busy lately. I did not thinking working a couple hours in the evening 2 nights a week would be keep me so busy. But that is on top of 2 evenings at the church cleaning, on top of my 11.5 hour day daycare job. Just what was I thinking.
My new job is going well. I really do like it. There are some really nice people who work there, and some not so nice ones who I learned very quickly to never ask them a question unless you want your head bitten off.
Ashley is doing well. She works and goes to school full time. She is living in an apartment with 3 guys, all of whom she knew before, and let me tell you......I will never let her do that again. All she does is complain what pigs they are. None of the 3 have ever lived on their own, except in the dorms, and they don't clean up after themselves. She/We supplied about 75% of the kitchen stuff for the apartment....and she is slowly making it disappear because they don't do dishes and clean things up. Pretty soon there won't be anything left. lol I just keep telling her.....6 more months. Ahh, another one of those "I told you so moments".
Ashley is also getting things in order for her study abroad this summer. She will be going to Salzburg, Austria for a few weeks. Then hopefully spending a month with our friends from Germany.
Austin drives 55 miles to school each day. He will be done with his LPN program at the end of March, God Willing. I am sure he will move away, probably to Columbus, Oh, which is 3 hours from home. He is talking of trying to get an LPN job in Alaska for a few months, just to see what it is like living there. The poor kid has been inundated with car problems. His car engine went out again, for the second time, in August. Which prompted Ashley to buy a different vehicle, and Austin took the one she was driving, then it broke down, and after putting $600 in it (mom and dad of coarse), it is finally back on the road. I keep saying ......6/7 more months.....I love him, but time to fend for yourself. 
Dave is still working and likes his job. He is now on 3rd shift. He will never be on first. He has 4 years till retirement. I hate him being on 3rd, I can not do anything around the house in the evenings, because he is trying to sleep.
My mom continues to do ok. I do not think she will ever get back to her before getting sick health. She has had to give up driving, but still bakes her pies.
And this it life in NW Ohio in a nutshell. The leaves are almost down, it is chilly and wet. Today we vote on a new school levy which will add almost $300 per year to our taxes. Our economy here is still very slow, and most are not in the position financially to take this on. Should it pass....I am working on our 4 year plan which is to move when Dave can retire. I do not want to pay almost $2000 in property taxes on a home devalued today at $105,000. Just crazy.
Have a great fall.
