As some may know, I have been given a new position in the alpine school district . I was originally going to start my new job on Jan 16th, but as result of the economic downturn, my start date has been pushed back to April 1st. I have had a few people ask if I am upset about it, my reply is not really. I enjoy my current assignment and I love the people that I work with, so It really isn't that big of a deal. I did get excited for the new duties and challenges however.

I am ready for warmer weather. I want to be out working in my yard gardening and taking care of my lawn. I always thought that people who obsess over their landscaping were nuts. I have become one of those crazies. There is something very relaxing about getting my hands into the soil, picking fruit and vegetables to share with family, and ripping those dang weeds out of my garden. I think I vent a lot of my frustrations on weeds. Better that than on my family.

Next week we will be going to California. I'm excited and also a little nervous about the trip. My boys don't do the best with new situations. We will be sharing a condo with Heidi's family for the length of the trip and I worry that my little buds will drive the Dodenbier's crazy.(especially Heidi's mom) The good news is that the boys will be able to see Disneyland. They have been talking and asking about it every day for the last few months. I have to admit I'm looking forward to watching their reactions to the different rides we will be going on./

That all I have for now. I hope write more soon.
