Things have been so hectic the last year. We've had graduations (Brandon), a death in the family (my Dad), world travel (the whole clan went to England, Scotland, and Ireland....A GREAT TRIP!...I'll get some of the pictures up here hopefully with a bit of help), and I've shifted roles at work!!! It sounds even more hectic when you write it down. Hope to hear from some of you all who may have given up on me loggin' in again.

All the BEST!!!!

Seems like things are so hectic that I really don't get time to even post or check-out the other sites.

It is amazing that this school year is almost 1/2 gone. Thanksgiving is upon us and Christmas won't be far behind. Well, the last Seven Lakes football game for the year is tomorrow night. I'm scheduled to drive one of the equipment trucks again. It's been fun again this year to work with the band and the band parents.

I'm scheduled to be in New Jersey next week for some meetings and we'll spend one evening in New York City with the group that we're meeting with.

Well, we have group meetings at our house on Sunday and need to go do some "polish up" cleaning...so, so long for now.

The summer has just been packed!!! With school starting back up, they're not going to get any less packed. Brandon & Isshah got back started in HS and Ara just arrived back in Norman and is getting situated into his new dorm room.

Well, it's late but wanted to post after such a long period of silence.

Well, 3 months have flown.....trip to Memphis, Christmas Holidays, start of a New Year, and I went around the world in a 2 week period......Lot of STUFF!! I'll try to see if I can't figure out the technology to post some of the pictures from China, Sinapore, Japan, Malaysia, Germany and the Czech Republic....a lot of travel for 2 weeks, but neat, exciting, busy, and tiring all in one. Bran and Issh did GREAT while I was away for 2 weeks, of course, with a good bit of assist from Miss Jesse.....she's a big help. Unfortunately at the very end of the 2 weeks, Jesse got sick and her Mom stepped in to help out.

School, Work and just activities have really kept things hopping. Last week, I was part of a team that provided ongoing assistance (Crisis Management Support Team) during the Hurricanes this summer and we were awarded a companywide recognition award "SPIRIT" Award......the awards banquet was neat getting to see a lot of folks from prior assignments and many of the folks I spent a real intense 6 week period with this summer.

That's enough for now. Looking forward to having the family back together for Spring Break...."A" should be back then. Expect the other "A" will be around also (that will be nice).

Cheers! Ciao!

The Thanksgiving week is now officially a BLURRRRRRRR...! It all went too fast. We had a great week of time with Ara being home so family was all back at Sierra Lake. We had a great time seeing as many as could come to the singing on Wednesday night at Alief. We had some "memorable" moments with Friends....particularly one of the "Baytown Crowd". Some of the memorable moments.....Isshah's learner's permit, her first time behind the "wheel", Changing the oil on the Honda & Van, Harry Potter, Alief Singing with friends, all the college crowd home for the holiday, coffee at Starbucks, "fly turkey, fly!!", Turkey & fixin's, OU vs. OSU Bedlam Football, some folks went to a hockey game, getting out the Xmas decorations, Sunday worship and fellowship with friends......

Whew! Busy but enjoyable. Thanks to everyone who shared and made these memories!!
