Well, we're back from vacation in Chicago! We had a great time, but that ride going there and coming back was a killer! We did all of our bookings online, so we were pleasantly surprised at how nice our hotel room, and the location (smack-dab in the middle of a shopping mecca!) was.
The reunion was nice; these were people from my husband's grandmother's side of the family. It was fun finding out where my husband's mom, sisters, and my little one got their noses from! LOL It was so cool and breezy up there; nothing like the parching heat here in Houston. The next reunion will be held in Dallas, Texas! A hop, skip, and a jump from us. One of our great uncles, the one we stayed with when we arrived here in Houston, hopes to probably make it to that one. He's very old, however, and has failing health. We are hoping that he will still be around in 2009.
We are back to the daily grind, working, taking care of the girls, and getting ready for school. Matthew is getting ready to receive his MCSE (Microsoft Systems Engineering Certification) in just a few weeks. Nikki is starting middle school, and Maya and Angie are going to fourth and second grade. Angie and I are hoping that she will have Maya's second grade teacher this year!
I had put Matt's name in the system to try and get him a city job. They called him this morning to schedule him for an interview. I sure hope that he goes, and I am hoping that he gets the job. Matthew is working, but his job offers him no medical benefits, no vacation time, and no paid holidays. The job that they are calling him for offers all of that, plus the hours that he wants to work and weekends off. It would be a good opportunity for him. I cannot make him take advantage of it, I can only hope that he does. We'll see what happens.
As far as the car accident goes, both insurance companies denied both claims. He wants to pay something so bad, let him pay for the damages to his own vehicle, IF that was his to begin with! I'm done with him, and the entire incident. Moving on..............

Happy Happy Birthday to you and Angie. I'm so happy that you had a good time in Chicago. I am so sorry we missed each other. I called you back but I figured you were having a good time. It was a busy week. I heard your voice when I called and I love your message and your voice. Hugs to you.
