I'm Back!!!

Hello J-Land!  I have probably lost all of my friends since it has been almost a year!  What a year it has been though. 

Updates:  Me~ I am still working full time at my church.  I am so very, very happy there.  I am the "Education Assistant" which doesn't tell you much, but it is very involved.  I can't even begin to tell all of the little things and unless you understand all of the behind the scenes nuts and bolts of running a church then it wouldn't make sence anyways.  The best part of my job is being the web site administrator.  In April of last year I designed our church website.  With the help of a techie (he did all the html and technical parts) I created a pretty darn nice website!  Here is the linky incase anyone wants to check it out: www.fbcpc.com

Robert (AKA Farmer Brown)~  He is still working his butt off as a farmer.  Sunup to sundown.  I love him to peices, but he has been a grouch lately as he is trying to lose 50 pounds!  It has been raining every day for weeks now and he is sick and tired of it.

Wes~ He is 21 and living at home while going to community college. He is working as much as he can at the farm to make some spending money.  We made him buy all of his books for school this fall and that took a couple of paychecks!  He is in love with the same girl, Katy who goes to Florida State, about 5 hours away. 

Katie~  The girl is about to kill us.  She came home yesterday with another tatoo! (her 2nd) She is 19 and she has her own car and money, so she doesn't feel the need to ask us if she can get a tatoo, she just does it! She too is going to community college and living at home.  She has a job at an athletic club and Robert is making her quit tomorrow.  She has gone down hill since she started working there, smoking and getting tatoos.  She rarely has time for church anymore and we have all noticed the change.  We are really hoping for a turn around soon.

Betsy~ My sweet girl.  She is a junior this year.  She is getting straight A's and with the exception of her constant sarcastic comments is not a bit of trouble.   She is doing really well with her guitar lessons and she is totally hooked on her ipod.  No boyfriend, but she does have a crush.

That's about it for the update.  If I get any comments or interest from my fellow J-landers, I will go back to keeping up with my journal.  I do miss it.  We have a family website at myfamily.com and although it isn't as good as a journal, all of my extended family goes on it everyday.  The main reason I quit keeping up with this journal is that some of my family members found it and were reading it everyday.  I felt like I was being watched!  I hope I can have a little privacy now that they don't know I have come back. 

Well, if any of my buddies read this, let me know!

Hi!  I still have you on my alerts, and I was very glad to see your journal again!  You are the very first journal that I ever read, and I think the first one I ever commented in.  Welcome back!
