June 27, 2008


Thank you all for your comments on my blog... I got the hint... I needed to update. My bad!!! I have been busy. I recently started a new job which I hate but that is ok. It is getting better. Everything has been going really well with life. Riley of course is getting too big too fast. She is into everything. Right at this very moment she is trying to unlock the filing cabinet with the car keys. And as much as it is not working, she continues to try.



As most of you know, we are living in Arizona and it is continuing to get hotter and hotter. As a family we go on daily swims in our community pool as soon as John gets home from work. Riley is a pro. If you ask me, she is a little too brave for my comfort. She loves to just jump in even if no one is ready for her to. What a fish!!!


Right now we are impatiently waiting for our house to be done. For those that don't know John and I are building a house. It is out in Maricopa, Az near my parents. We will be right around the corner from them. So far it has been framed, electric and plumbing is done, the A/C is in and the next step is the insullation and then dry wall. This should start on Monday. The builders have not given us a specific date as of right now but when I asked them yesterday, they told me that they would try for August 15-20. It is so close!!! We are so excited to have a home of our own. It is the little things in life that make it so exciting. I am so excited to be ABLE to wash my car when I want in my own drive way and weed the garden and park in the garage... not that I will wash my car or have a garden but it is the ability to do so, if I wanted.

Riley is so cute! Who watches her when you work? It was so hard to leave Coleman in the beginning... but eventually it got easier. I am so excited for your house. Our place is always messy (Thanks to Coleman crawling and pulling himself up on everything) and I remember telling Josh, "Once we own a place we will keep it nice..." Not so much! Here's hoping you're more dedicated!

Hey this is great! It's nice to get to know our family this way, cause we sure don't see them much. By the way, my nephew's wife, Laura Modrell, also works at University of Phoenix. As John if he knows her. Keep this up. It's great. Love ya,
Uncle Paul and Aunt Lynda
