It's been almost year since I posted on this blog.....and to tell the truth I totally forgot that I had started one. Our computer that we had stopped working and we were without a computer for 6 months before we got another one and I just forgot that I had this. Anyway, I started looking at old my old posts (which werent very many) and had forgotten about those things that had happened at that time and realized that I really need to blog about little things that happen in my life and my families life so I dont forget and can go back and reminise and have a record. It gets so overwhelming when you try to think about what and who you should blog about so I guess I will just start out slow and a little at a time.
So, here it goes...............Bob has been doing construction for the past 2 years trying to make ends meet and it's been good at times and very slow at times, due to our dragging economy. We have really been praying about what we should do and where we should be. Well, a few months back Bob decided to apply with the Border Patrol and he filled out an application......the process to get accepted into BP is very long and can take 6 months to a year. Anyway, to make a long story short he has made it to the 2nd step. On Thursday he had an oral interview in front of 3 BP agents and its a pass/fail interview, so either you continue on with the process or your declined right there on the spot and he passed with flying colors. We were so nervous but now so excited! Now he just has to get through the medical test, physical test and background check which should all be pretty easy......I hope. It would just be so nice to have a little financial securiy and maybe a retirement. Bob is such a great person and I know if they give him the chance he will be awesome. Just say a pray for us that we are making the right choice and if this is what is right for Bob and our family that things will continue to go well.
Now for a short little spot on my son Grey who is 14 and now a freshman in High School.....it is so weird to say that. I don't feel that old....but I am! Anyway, he tried out for the soccer team this year and ended up being 1 of 2 freshman that made the varsity team. He is so excited to be on the team and not only that we have gone to his first 3 games this week and I can say that he definitly deserves to be on the team. He is such a talented athelete, though he is young and a little intimidated to be playing with seniors he really is doing awesome. I wish he had a little more confidence but I am sure that will come with each game that he plays in. His 1st game was so exciting.....we ended up tying and having to go into overtime and then to penalty kicks. Each team had 5 PK's and whoever scored the most wins the game.....well, the coach chose Grey to be the 5th guy to kick the PK and we were up 4-3 and each team had one guy left to kick so if Grey scored we won the game but if he missed the other team had a chance to tie the game again and Grey scored! It was so fun to watch. Besides being a great athlete he is such a really good kid and I am so proud of him.
So, I guess that is it for now but I am really going to try and post weekly so I can keep my memories alive mostly for myself.......cus I really do have a bad memory and I want remember all the good, bad and funny things that happen in my life.
