Well the weekend is all but over for me.  I am off to work in the morning, and I was told this evening that the “big boss” is in town and will be in the store in the morning.  He is a very nice man, and it will be sad to see him retire at the end of the month… I just hope the new person they hire is just as good.

Sunday was Ted and my 6th year anniversary.  We went to Outback for a late lunch early dinner and then came home to mow the yard.  It was a beautiful day to be outside.

Last night we had someone ding dong ditch us… scared the crap out of me because the dogs freaked the heck out… Ted went to the door and no-one was there but when Stella went out the back door and barked he heard someone running… Darn teenagers…

Today we had a nice visit with “J” at the zoo… he was so excited.  He really did not want to go back or leave us… but the day had to come to and end… I am looking forward to Saturday when we can see him again… or hopefully he will be back home.

Cody is 6 months old…he is growing up so fast…today I saw Kendra going into work and I tried to catch her attention but was unable to. I was going to find out how the pictures turned out… I am sure they are adorable… he is such a cute little boy…

Marty and Melinda will celebrate their 19th wedding anniversary in a little more than a week… it is hard to beleive that they have been married that long, and they are grandparents… wow time is just flying by…

Wow it has been an entire year since I posted a blog… Pretty sad if you ask me.  Many Many things have happened in the last year.  Shane became a legal Pafundi in October… We have another little boy which we consider our son… but because of some really bad issues he is not with us right now… I really hope that changes soon… I miss my little man a bunch.  Everyday he brought a smile to my face, made me laugh and although everyday was not a walk in the park… we fell in love with him and need him to return home.

My uncles had their auction this last weekend.  They sold the Hoppe Shop in Wausa Nebraska… they are now retired… I know it is time for them to retire and enjoy their lives but it just reminds me that I am getting older, because I remember when they built the new shop and moved over there.  I remember the party, and how my black dress shoes clicked on the new cement, and if you screamed it would echo a little… FUN kid stuff at the time…

Ted is working overnights right now… which really stinks… because it really screws up his diabetes, and his mood.

Ted just made me laugh extremely hard… just think about this… we are sitting on the couch, Anika our American Bulldog, is laying next to him with her head next to him.  He starts to play with her ear, and she flips and stands her ear up like she was flicking a fly, you could tell it made him go hee hee inside so he tried to make it do it again, but this time he sticks his finger in her ear… and pulls it out just to have a big ear goobey on the end…he runs to the sink in the kitchen all the while gagging… I had tears running down my face.. have not laughed like that in a long time…

well this is long enough for now… hopefully I will take the time and update it more often… not like anyone really reads this… but, hey, it is an outlet for me to vent if I need too… :0)
