Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been under the weather for the past 5 days and haven't had the energy to update my BLOG. I did want to post this picture of Kyle with his dream car. I like it as well, but can't see myself driving it to Krogers or the YMCA.

I haven't gotten to watch hardly any of the Olympics. Although I'm not much of a sports fan, I do enjoy the Winter Olympics. Dana, Kyle and I did watch the mens hockey team Sunday in their match against Sweden. Even though they didn't win, it was an exciting game. Both teams played extremely well. A few weeks prior we saw the womens hockey team play against Sweden. Again, it was a well played game, with Team USA winning that one.

My messy office and my Award!

As a Realtor, I'm lucky enough that I can work a lot from home when I need to, but to look at the mess that I call an office, it's a wonder I'm not looking for misplaced items all the time. Actually, it's been a lot worse than it looks now. I have been on a mission to get things organized and keep them organized. Just not enough hours in the day.

Above is the award I recieved for my 2005 sales. I did skip the awards banquet though and Dana and I had dinner at Applebees with her father. I'm having a tough time deciding if I should hang it up in my home office or at the Big Hill office? Decisions, decision....

Oh, I heard a good one last night from my wife - 'I would rather go hunting with Dick Cheney than driving with Ted Kennedy any day'. Enough said.

Here are the photos we took last Wednesday when Aunt Louise came to visit. We were able to see her a few times while she was visiting. We stayed up later than we should have Wednesday night talking and telling jokes. It was a blast! We were really glad she came down to see us.

It's already Wednesday, this week feels like it is slipping by really quickly.

Today alone I have had 5 different people stop by to gripe about the cold weather. It's Ohio, It's February, it's supposed to be cold. Get over it. Look, we had some unseasonably warm weather the past few weeks, just appreciate it. You can't do anything about it so get on with your lives.

My Aunt Louise is going to be staying with my parents for a short visit. She's coming in today and I can hardly wait to see her. My uncle Tony passed away in December and I haven't had a chance to see her since the services. She and Tony were the kind of relatives that you always looked forward to seeing and having a good time with. Of course, I'm kind of lucky that most all of my relatives are that way (am I lucky or what?). I'm glad Dana got to meet Tony last year and appreciate his sense of humor. He always had a joke or funny story, and I swear I never heard the same joke twice. He was a World War II veteren, and seemed to have an endless supply of stories about the war, good and bad. I will really miss him at family reunions, but will always have fond memories of him.

We are still fighting with Wayne Dalton to get our garage door either fixed properly or have it completely replaced. Stay tuned for further developments on that.
