Wilson Update 3/9/08

Well, it's been a while since I have done a familyupdate on both my e-mail and/or blog. So, I am going to update our family on the blog and send an e-mial to family to read it here!

Mike: Mike is right now, finishing up painting one of our bathrooms. I did about 3/4 of it last night and then he goes in in behind me and does the finish work. It looks great. He stayed home from church today with Grace who has been sick for about 4 days. More on that later. He went to Washington DC a couple of weeks ago with the Kentucky Broadcasters Association to talk to our local Senators and such about some possible legislation that would be negative to all stations in Ky, not just Christian. He LOVES politics and so really enjoyed being at the Capitol building. He is also the newly elected and ushered in President of our Football Boster Club. He runs the meetings and such. He is enjoying teh College Basketball tournaments on tv and playing Wii bowling.

Me: Okay, just a few minutes ago, I resigned as Aerobics Coordinator at my gym. I am still staying on to teach classes and personal train, but the time and "burden" of being the coordinator is something I can do without. I am excited and feel very relieved. I will no longer be in management and I am ok with that. Maybe again someday. Personal Training has taken off and I am loving that alot but again, the time factor plays into it. I try to schedule my clients at the same time I am already there for classes. And...I am launching a new Home Based Business . I am going to set The Body Shop aside as a reorder business only. But with Silpada, I can make twice as much in half the amount of time as The Body Shop. And...IT'S FUN! With as much as I work outside and inside my home, I am happy to keep some fun in my life. This will be a one year commitment only and if all goes well, I will keep going after that.

Sam: Is in a new band and loving it. He is drumming for that and also in one of our church youth worship bands. He also has a sweetie, LauraBeth. They are "in love" and it is the cutest thing ever. I could not have handpicked a sweeter more wonderful girl for my son. He is also prepping for the ACT test and will be taking that next month. And...he weighed in at 193lbs this morning! We have him on HGH (just kidding!) no, we have him on muscle building supplements that should add muscle mass. He lifts weights everyday in PE with his football coach so he is getting big and strong! Hopefully, this will help him get into college! He is still working on accumulating enough driving time so that he can get his license. We bought our neighbor's little Saturn so that I can give him my Grand Prix and drive the more economical Saturn. We think he'll have his license by June. Oy!!!

Grace: Had the flu a week ago and has been struggling with something else this week. We had her tested for strep and it was negative, but if she is not better by Wednesday, we are going to get her tested for mono. Sinus issues, cough, swollen glands, sore throat, loss of appetite, etc. We started an anti biotic today and hope she improves. She quit the track team because she had continual shin splints that has been a frustration and kept her from competing. But she (and Sam and Jessie) are in the middle of rehearsals for Cheaper By The Dozen which open March 27. She has a ball on facebook and writing her friends.

Jessie: Will be 11 on Tuesday! We had a few of her classmates over on Friday night for Wii and chocolate fondue! She is looking forward to getting her birthday money and going shopping. She is doing great in school and still struggles with her "germ" issues. But she does not have so much "seperation anxiety" as she used to so that is improvement. We are having some family friends, Keith and Lindsay, over tonight for more chocolate fondue. They are surrogate aunt and uncle-sort of type people.

That about covers it. I need to make some te before company gets here. Have a super week!!!
