If anyone sees Mom tell her that Dad made it to NY this morning. Their phone line was dug up and is not working.

one more full day in NY

Since this day has started, we only have one more full day in NY. Sunday night Miah said she wasn't feeling well, so we put the kids to bed early. She woke up with a fever. So much for meeting our friends at the park for a final farewell. She laid in my bed and watched cartoons most of the morning and said she felt better. We dropped by two families to say goodbye. I'm sad to say goodbye to some of the families that we have come to love in NY, but I know somehow we will see them again.

JD's Dad arrives in the morning. We are hoping to go to the Bronx Zoo, weather and fever permitting. Then we are off on Thursday morning.

I don't know if I will be able to post again before we leave. I hope and pray that everything goes smoothly on our drive across country!

See a lot of you soon!

Last weekend in NY

So it is the kids and my last weekend in NY. I still don't think it has really sunk in yet. We had anticipated doing a few fun last minute things like the fireworks at coney island and the beach, but again it is going to RAIN. GRRR, this rain has spoiled many plans this month. Oh well.

We did make it to the beach with our friends on Thursday. It was good to see them. I got really sunburned on my back though, so I have been uncomfortable since. I'm just glad the kids didn't get burned other than Miah got a little on her face. I forgot our camera, so no pictures.

I'll post more later.

I'm B...O...R...E...D

So JD still isn't on his way home yet and it is 11:45 pm. He has worked 17 hours so far. He worked a little more than 14 hours yesterday. YUCKY for him to be away from home so much, especially when it is our last week in NY. BUT the paycheck will be nice and help us be able to move.

It has been rainy still. On the weather tonight they said there has only been one 24 hour period that was clear the whole month! That is pretty crazy.

Still waiting to hear about anything. I've applied to 5 more jobs for JD in Utah the last few days. Hopefully something will pan out and he can QUIT soon! We are still waiting to hear from the apartment job, UVU, a possible full-time job for me, the warehouse job for JD that the guy keeps calling him about and many more applications that we have put out. I'm really TIRED of WAITING for everything right now. It will be good to get something accomplished when we get to Utah.

Rain, Rain, GO AWAY!!

I was just watching the weather and they said this is the 6th wettest June ever. Out of the last 21 days, 17 of them have had rain. Guess what the forecast is for? RAIN for everyday this week! Yuck. Makes it hard for us to do the few things we wanted to do these last few days in NY! We had hoped to have some friends over to go to the beach and wanted to go to Coney Island for fireworks on Friday. Neither of those will be very fun in the rain.

The other thing that makes the rain harder to accept is that JD has inventory this week, so he is going to be BUSY! He doesn't know that he will be home until late everyday night. He thinks that he may even have to work like 16 hours on Wednesday. It doesn't make it possible for us to borrow the car so we can go do anything.

Happy Father's Day

JD - Happy Father's Day!
