so it's already half way through january. the year is already flying by. life is good. working hard. playing hard. i've gotten to shoot my new .22 that i got for christmas. much fun at the club shooting targets. watching everyone else shoot the 20 gauge [my shoulder can't take it!] and dusting some skeet! it stinks that deer season is over because i love being out there but it's been good just hanging out. hopefully this summer we can ride the fourwheelers and go fishing! ooooh so much to look forward to! i've gotten to spend time with my good friends. i'm so happy for niki and her family. she has a beautiful son and a great husband. emily is very successful at USC along with Joia at trident. everyone has their set goals and are working there butts off! we all have different paths in life and it's good to know that each one of them are there for me and i can be a part of their lives =) i love my girls. bootjack celebrated 30 years of business and i was there to join the party. we had a great time eating, having a drink and listening to the stories of the past years. i'm thankful to work for a company that has been successful thus far and has plenty of potential for the next 30 years. the boys are doing great in school. great grades and come home everyday with more new knowledge to share about outer space, volcanoes, and the seasons. reed and are are happy =) he makes me laugh but can be a pain in the rear *what male can't?* haha anyway, like i said, life is good. no compaints here. later yall.
