Wow, what a winter! Snow, sleet, ice, fog, thunderstorms,tornados! I am working hard to connect with the springtime in my heart! It's sooo cold cold cold! Too cold to make a snowman.

January 2008

Our Fortune business is in the black and here comes our profits!! The #1 and #2 Money earners in Fortune came to wintery Wisconsin. It was amazing! Those guys are so down to earth and grateful to God for their success. How refreshing. Ruel Morton & Mike Misenheimer are two of the nicest people you'll ever meet. I high fived them as much as I could get away with to get some of the millionaire mojo! :D lol We learned a lot and are watching our team grow! It's so awesome to be part of Fortune.

So, lots of things have been happening in my world. Obviously, I am updating my website, finally! I have been working on personal growth over these last few months. Yay Me! Kristin is hanging in there and will graduate on May 19, 2007. Yay Kristin! Son John moved out of his loft and Fuzzy came to stay with us. Fuzzy is such a great cat. I hope they can be reunited soon. Son John is also in the process of change. Seems he will no longer be with Skillet. Seems to me it is time to settle down and put down some roots. Hope you all are well and happy! Hang in there, spring is just around the corner! More coming soon!

Lots going on....it's going to take me a while to get it all together here. I'm hoping everyone can show some love and be patient. I've been doing some reconstruction personally and it's spilling over into every area. There just isn't enough time it seems.
Let's try to catch up alittle for you at least.... The holidays were great! We spent Thanksgiving with Jim's family out there in the Tennessee/North Carolina part of the world. It was amazing! We made a new tradition that Mom Seekamp discovered. (click here (not now) but later for that story!)
Jim drove me from there to Louisiana to be with my sisters. I had a fabulous time. I love my sisters sooooo much and I'm sooooo proud of them. They are awesome women and awesome moms. I think I'll make them their own pages. I stayed til December 16 and took the train home. One week til Christmas! :P yikes!
Christmas was quiet and wonderful at our house. God is soooo good to us. More on that later.

New Years was really fun because we spent time playing games and visiting with our neighbors. What a blessing it is to have such a blessed relationship with them. :)
Let's see now...
Getting back into the swing of things was challenging. I kept waiting to feel like I was in the groove, but the groove was elusive. Kristin went back to school after a nice holiday vacation January 2, a Tuesday. Isn't that wierd? Anyway, she's really made us proud with her effort to have a reasonable attitude even though it is easy to hate life when you have to do stuff you don't want to do. Remember that old timers? Do we remember how hard that time in life was? Yikes! Kristin is AWESOME!!! She has God on her side and His Hand is upon her. She is very blessed. We are very excited for her to graduate this year and wanted to take her to Japan but alas, the cashflow hasn't shown up yet for that so we are going to have a killer grad party for her. You are all invited!!! OK, just people who know and love kristin can come.
hmmmmm.....
I've been busy with a personal growth project that will take me to the end of the school year. Other projects I have are the usual house projects, picture project, basement project, ummmm plan the garden :) project YAY!!! GARDENS!!!! spring is coming!!!
Jim has also been very busy putting miles on his darlin' self! He drove the white station wagon that nanc (my mom) gave me. John (Danny's stepdad) fixed it up and Jim drove it out there. He took the train home.
Today, he's going to take the train to NC to pick up our new car!! YES I SAID NEW CAR!!! Jim's wonderful awesome amazing MOM is giving to us!!! WHAT?! GIVING TO US!!! YES!!! Isn't that awesome?! God is soooo awesome to bless us this way! I'll put up more info on that blessing later. :) It's a 1996 Ford Taurus (with sunroof!) with only 44000 miles. and for a steal! i guess it was some friends of hers that are moving out of the country so it's blessing them too! all these blessings!!! YAY!!

anyway, Jim will be home tuesday with the GREEN BULL!! that's what i'm going to call him. i guess it's a blueish greenish color. i might have to change the name but so far that's the name. ok, that's enough current events for now, i think that's everthing actually.
below is old news but still interesting, so if you want to practice reading, keep going. :) have a nice day!!!

Greetings Friends & Visitors!!! To start off with, I update my website frequently. I'd love to hear how you like it, so please sign my guestbook.
Currently I am in the swing of the school year. I've been working on lots of projects over the summer and of course, as always, projects continue. The October Feast was a success. I'd really like to do it again next year & plan a second day at William's Tree Farm Family Fun Days. At least a drive in the country, or hiking at Hononegah or Rock Cut State Park. I also decided I'd like to have smaller dinner groups for more intimacy & conversation. It was very difficult to spend more than a few minutes with each person. Anyway, I'd do it again, now that I know what I'm dealing with. I would definitely take pictures!! duh, my camera was broken...but we could have used the video camera or the computer cam. oh well.
Kristin is finishing out her senior year at South Beloit, turned 18 on September 23 and doing pretty well in general. She has an occassional outing to the arcade to DDR with her friends. I'm really proud of her. I think she's awesome!
Personally... I have committed to honoring the artist in me by working on creating some art pieces. (I haven't been doing this...) Also some writing and drawing is on the docket. (I haven't really been doing this either...) I want to spend time with friends and also pray more often. (I have been praying quite a bit, but not spending enough time with friends.) I am trying to move ahead with several projects that have been on the burners too. (Not really any time when there are so many with needs. Jim and I got to visit Gayle's mom in the hospital. We wanted to pray with her too. What a blessing it is to give someone alittle love & peace just by visiting.)
I have been working quite a bit on my website. That's always fun! I want to make more pages for friends to help support what they do. Send me an email if you want your own page, for business or fun!
And now, for something completely different... Garden time, walking at the lake, reading, healing my soul. (Too cold, busy doing ???, I need to have a refocus!!!) That's quite a lot isn't it?
I was also able to visit a new friend, Deb. I am wanting to create a page for her and her artwork. Check back soon for that! She is a really wonderful person & artist.
Jim & Kristin & I went to Williams Tree Farm last weekend. That was awesome! Jim & I also visited Gahl's Orchard and bought tons! 2 gallons of fresh apple cider, a bag of apples to cover in caramel, a jar of cinnamon candy apple butter, and a jar of strawberry preserves. YUMMM

Past Events
