Race for the Cure

I have been such a slacker with my blog this year. Maybe because there has been nothing new going on???? Well, my slacker times are coming to an end!!

Saturday May 2, 2009 we are participating in the Susan G Komen "Race for the Cure"
I wanted to be all daring and do the 5K walk, but remembered I have surgery on the Tuesday previous...so alas, we will be doing a 1K walk. My awesome employer Raymond Company has sponsered us and 10 of my co-workers to participate in the 1 Mile Fun Walk.

Brave Girl Dee Dee

Dee is a very brave girl. Today she has to fly to MEPS in SLC to finish her Army Reserve stuff and swear in. She is brave because she has to fly there alone, stay in a hotel alone and fly home Thursday alone.

I beleive she has decided on Gloria as the hippo travel companion of choice. Wise decision as she is a safe traveler. I had a picture of her, but its gone.

Welcome to Facebook

So I just wanted to say how much fun Facebook has become. Thanks Karissa for getting me started long ago at G-ma & G-Pa Gaynes house at midnight.

In the last few months I have rekindled long lost friendships and relatives. Also keeping posted with family and friends current. Still looking for others, if you are out there I will find you! I have hooked up with high school and jr high friends and some as far back as 6th grade! Crazy you say? Not I! I love it! Facebook friends are forever!

So take out that yearbook and look for a blast from the past!

Thanks for coming!

They text, they joked....then they drove.....Karissa and Nate http://nklemme.blogspot.com/2009/01/it-all-went-down-like-this.html

It was awesome and we all needed it. We had been away far to long, due to money and car issues over 2008. But they did it!

Wii for hours and then PS3 after the girls went to bed.

We went to Kohls and got awesome T-shirts for our men, and bras for the girls! Serriously.

We made 10 dozen tamales and ate candy, pumpkin pie, banana bread and eggnog bread.

Snow Day in Vegas....schools closed!

Wow! The weather outside is exciting! We have snow snow snow! We got 5" at our house and Jerry and Stephanie in Boulder City got 8" they are snowed it! The schools are closed due to not plows, same with McCarren airport! No equipment to clean the runways! CRAZY!

So my seniors have a snow day for the first and last time of their school career. Cool! This is the biggest snow storm in Las Vegas since 1979.

ARMY chicks

Well the day has come, the decision has been made and the papers have been signed. My little girls are joining the ARMY Reserves! Wow! I am so proud of them and all the accomplishments they have made in their lives.

They are flying out to MEPS in Salt Lake on Tuesday 11/25/08 to go to their physicals and swear in on Wednesday 11/26/08 as members of the ARMY Reserve. They are so excited as are Eddie and I. We couldn't wish for a better future for them right now.
I will be driving up to Utah on Wednesday for Thanksgiving by myself. Eddie has been moved to a different Casino job and is working 6 days a week 10 hours a day. Another career advancement for him.

I am sure they will post their update their own BLOG with their experience at MEPS.
