A Year + Update

Well it's been over a year since I have posted anything. And so much has happened! So here is a quick rundown of what's gone on in my life.
1. Holly had her baby girl (Jan. 15, 2010). Her name is Tylynn May. She is absolutely adorable.
2. Danny moved out and in with his girlfriend Cindy. She is such a sweetheart. We love her as a new addition to the family.
3. Victoria got a teaching job after graduating. This might not seem unusual, but our school district just wasn't hiring. The second year of ridiculous budget cuts. Anyway she is teaching 6th grade at a Title I school. Abby is going to that school with her.
4. Two more people got canned from our department. I luckily got to keep my job. Unfortunately, two of the four people left now hate me because I am still there and the two others aren't. Even though I was last one hired, I also had seniority over the two that went. This really ticked off some people. I had nothing to do with this other than I had worked in the district longer.
5. Stacey and Ryan moved back to Utah. They had a beautiful baby boy on Oct. 21, 2010. His name is Ace. He is the first child in our family born with hair. What a pleasant surprise!
6. My father finally passed away on Dec. 1, 2010. He had an aneurysm and thankfully died quickly and pain free. Even though we knew he wasn't going to last much longer, this came out of the blue. The funeral was so hard. I really miss him. Christmas really sucked this year, but we got through it.
7. John and I got through another year together. We've been married now for 35 years. OMG!
8. I leave this note with some bad news. John lost his job Jan. 1st. Well all I can say is "Welcome to a New Year"!!!
