Time for an update!

After being told by several people that I need and update to my blog, here I am on the blog and don't know what to talk about. How about get an update about whats going in my life. April is here and almost over, it sure seams to be going by so fast. Last week was a down week for me at work meaning I have no students in class, and I can tell you I am glad about that this last class I did, I taught most of it because my co worker I teach with took some Leave and had to go out of town on a business trip and that left me to do the teaching. I was really wiped out by the end of class. I do have to say that I was really dragging ass this last class for some reason. Maybe it was stress from Trisha or money or our house, or just all of it together. Who's to say?

On another note Trisha seems to be doing better, she is still sleeps a lot but there is a change in her attitude, a little more happy a little more up in her sprites and that in my mind is a good sign. The Puppy's are good as always, Missie has been looking after Trisha while she was sick for the last couple of weeks she has been right by her side all day. I guess it goes to show how in tune are pets are with us. I did load the pups up in the truck and took them with me to the shooting range be hide Beale AFB. They seams to like the ride and didn't mind all the gun fire going on. Needless to say they where happy to come home and see there momma.

I did have a talk with Trisha about our house and the fact that we will have to start looking for a new place to live. She did not like hearing what I said but the fact is we will be losing this home vary some and I would rather be ready for it then be caught blind sided and have to rush to get out of here. She still has hope that we will be able to save are home and told me she had called someone to see if they could help us out. I just don't fell like there is any hope an saving this place but will let her try. I would like to start looking for a place as soon as her disability money starts coming in. I have been looking online at some rentals and there some nice places in my prise range close to where I work. It will be nice to live close to work and not have to drive so far every day to work, and be closer to so old friend again. I also think a change of scenery would be good for Trisha and help her move on from what ever it is that has her down. Before she stoped working one of her complaints was the commute from home to work and back. So maybe this will help. Don't get me wrong I would do anything to keep this home but I just don't see it happing.

Well I hope that that's enough of an update for know......(beef).....More to come later on.

It's hot in Phoenix, and cool in Sacramento.

I returend home from my trip to Phoenix to visit my Grandmother and her husbend Dale who is not my Grandfather. To bring you up to speed on things My Grandfather died in 2002 wi'll I was deployed to Okinawa. I was able to fly home to the funneral and visit my family. A few years later, she remarried Dale a man she meet in here winter home of Mesa Az. I did not like the Idea of this and really havent spokin to her sence she remarried. I did not like the idea of her with another man and the fact that she had changed her last name from Culpepper to Kunze. My dad and I had felt the same about the hole thing and felt as if she had discraced my grandfather and all they had bilt together over 60 years together. She sold ther home in Mesa and had bought a new home with Dale. She did not come back to Oregon for the summer insted she would go to Minnasota with Dale to his home. I had asked her for some things of my Grandfather and she would not give them to me. So I stoped talking to her and really did not want anything to do with her anymore. Over time my dad had made peace with her but I was not ready to do so. A few weeks ago she and Dale were in a vary saver car wrecke and she was not well. My folks had told me they were going to fly down and see her last week. I had decide it was time for me to make peace and decided I should go with them. I was vary unsher of how I would handle being around her and Dale but figered with Mom and Dad there it would be a little easyer to handle. My grandmaother is still in a recovery center not far from ware they livr in Mesa she is still in bad shape but getting better. Dale is a vary nice man and I could see he really care's for my Grandmother and wants whats best for her and is not trying to take over for my grandfather. It was good for me to see. The weather was HOT and I mean Hot. they do not use AC in there home and keep it vary warm all year which was hard on me, I tend to like it cool because my med's tend to make me sweat alot in the heat. I didn't sleep vary well on there coach and have been sore all weekend. I was vary happy to see my bed when I got home today. Well it back to work in the morring so I'm off to bed.
