The Army

Ski was disapproved for the Army. The Army is not letting any prior military back into the Army. We are thinking its due to the unemployment rate and everyone is turning to the Army (its the most popular military branch).

So we are going back to plan A even though we don't look highly on it. He will go back to UCCS and join ROTC and graduate in two years then go active as a officer. I am hoping that by next year there are more jobs opening up so more civilians can get the jobs they want and Ski can have the job he wants back.

A year later and it still feels like yesterday.

Things have changed so much in a year, yet at the same time nothing has changed at all. I can't believe a year has come and gone in a blink of an eye, yet my heart still aches as if I just heard you were taken away from us. The days just flew by and not one of them went without me thinking of you. Everything feels different yet normal.

During holidays we set a placing for you with Mutley and Oink Roy, but the turkey is smaller and there aren't enough deserts. Maybe its cause we miss you or we just don't eat as much as you do. You would have turned 50 this year and we would have gotten you a box of goodies for your old age. You would have gotten the Depends, Denture cream, Oatmeal, magnifying glass, laxatives. We would have had so much fun with you. Cause by then all your brothers would have joined in. After it was said it done you you would start planning my mom's. Oh how I miss you. Nothing seems to run right without you. I hope you are doing well tell Opa and Joe I miss them as well. Please don't feel bad, it was just your time to go. We just have to learn to live with out you.

The weather needs to make up its mind!

So yesterday started out nice the weather was nice and warm, by noon it was snowing/raining and it stopped in 30 minutes. We need the moisture so that was a good thing, by 3PM the ground was dry. Around 5:30-6:00 PM it started snowing again. We went into Borders to trade a book and when we walked out our car was covered in snow. It stopped again around 7:30PM. I am glad we are getting moisture, but Spring is here so shouldn't we be getting Spring showers not snow showers? Here are some pics and a video if I can figure out the video.
