Well, let's see...
1. WE ARE OUT OF DEBT!!! WAAAHHH HOOOOOO!!!!! We have been working really hard for the last couple of years to have no debt and we did it! We still have the house payment, but hey, that's okay.
2. The House
- We painted the family room. I know, I know, how could we cover knotty pine...well, being stuck at home so much made me realize I really HATED the wood panelling! So, we painted over it.
- We had a new side door installed in the family room. It actually closes without an act of God and Congress now!
- In the next month or so I will be adding more updates about the house as I can.
3. Me and My Back - I have been released to go back to work - FULL Duty! My first day back will be Wednesday, April 21. I am SO excited!!! Steve is excited to have me out of the house more so his "Honey-Do List" stops growing.
4. Steve - Steve finished out the sale at Dad's store, now he is back working with Mark and Total Pool Solutions. In addition to work Steve is still going to school full-time in the evenings and reffing Lacrosse a few days a week. He is super tan and super busy, but he still finds time to fit me in.
4. Em's Family
Dad - My dad's furniture store is officially closed. Thank you to everyone who helped make it a success over the last 16 years. He is now in Oklahoma opening another store with a couple of the guys who ran his sale and then he is hitting the road. A different location every few months, Dad will be running sales for other stores like he did here.
Mom - She is working WAY too much, but the hospital would be lost without her. Mom still watches P and Eva a lot and loves it (they really are like crack to her)
Sam/Kate/Patrick/Eva - The Rineys are doing wonderfully. The kids are growing like weeds and SO much fun to have around
5. Steve's Hejna Family - We have a lot of plans with the BIG Hejna family this summer. Grandma Jo is throwing out the first pitch at the Cardinals game on May 2. June 19 is the scheduled day for family photos.
Kacy & Kyle are expecting their first little November 17. We are super excited to be an aunt & uncle to another little one!
6. Steve's Sifrig Family - I already said Steve is back working with this side of the family. He really enjoys being back around all his "peeps" again.
Andy passed the GED and we are SO proud of him
Kathleen is still living in Florida with her boyfriend, Mike. They just moved into their new apartment and life is just scooting right along for them
Well, I think that's about it for us for the last couple of months. I will try to post pics of the home improvements we will be working on in the next month or so. We are so blessed to have all of you in our lives and hope to see you soon!
