Life has been crazy the last couple of months, and I haven't been able to blog. I really miss it. I have so many stories to share and so many pictures too! Hopefully I will have some time soon to do it all.
I was promoted to Retail Banking Manager at work. It has been great so far. It's a lot more work and responsibility, plus I haven't hired my replacement, so I have been short staffed since the of June. This has meant a lot of 10 hours days, and when I am home, I have been trying to spend as much time as possible with Tony and Vinny. By the looks of my schedule though, life won't be back to normal until the beginning of the year. It's a sacrafice, but will be worth it in the long run (At least that is what I keep telling myself.)
Between small trips here and there camping, going to the ocean and just hanging out at home, we have still managed to keep our happy little family happy and our sanity intact.
Vinny has a lot going on too. He has been doing ice skating and just found out that he gets to start hockey lessons in a couple of weeks. He also starts pre-K soon. He is going to the same school and has the same teacher. He is so excited for both.
Tony has taken up archery and hunting. He is actually gone now for 5 days in Eastern Washington deer hunting, and will be going with my dad soon for elk. He is really enjoying himself with it, and I am happy to see him have a hobby that he enjoys.
There has been a lot going on in the extended family too...
Linda gave us a scare a couple of months ago with a heart attack. Thank God she is ok. She's not at 100%, but she is a trooper and pulling her own. I have no idea what I would have done if things had turned out any differently.
Reidar graduated high school, and went off to college at WSU. I can't believe it. My baby brother is growing up. We are so proud of him though, and can't wait to see him at Thanksgiving.
Berit and Stuart tied the knot! What a beautiful wedding!
Sandie and Rob got married too! We are so happy for both of them.
I am sure that there is a ton more that I forgot to mention, but Vinny is bugging me to go out and play... and so off I go! Keep watch! I hopefully will start updating more often soon!
