some big news...

this has been quite an interesting week as i look back over it...usually you don't have a lot going on in your life at one time but this week took the cake as far as big happenings! i thought i would devote this posting to two big ones of the week:

JAMIE, BEN and KENDALL for their exciting news of currently finding out they are having a baby boy! congrats also to breaking the chain of most pilot families who have girls! like us!

CINDY and CLIFF - for their newest committment to one another. congrats on the engagement, the wedding plans and your move to ENGLAND! i knew that some day your prince charming would come! you deserve it. the journey you are both about to take will be one of many and i wish you all the luck in the world. i sure am going to miss you not living in the states, but i am serious about making a visit europe to see you :)

aside from such great news comes so not so great news, but i am praying that both my uncle angelo and uncle charlie will soon be on the mend. i was sorry to hear that both went in for emergency surgery this past week within a day of each other.

elsewhere, my dad had his first interview this past week for a job in his new degree (which he will be finishing up this may)...not too shabby for a 60 year old man who lost the only stable job he really knew 18 months ago when his company moved overseas. we will know if he got the position in a few days, regardless though the bigger accomplishment has been seeing him finish school! way to go dad!

on tap this weekend: fan fest (heinz field), cleaning (grr!) and maybe a hike on sunday in the woods with the family.
