News from up North

Ahh I love that everyone is writing about their adventures! MJ I did not know you were going on a sexy Florida vacation, but it sounds very fun and I am happy you had a good time. I also love your role as a soccer sister/aunt. Maybe Gavin can teach Katie the giving the thumbs up after the tackle move for her college games. I am also dropping hints to Kev that I want to go to senior crawl and your graduation next year. I know at senior crawl a few months ago I joked I couldn't come because I would be with child. Hopefully we can hold out for just a few more months so I can come celebrate your big day with you. Haha, actually I had a dream I was pregnant and dream-Erin said to me, "Are you serious, I have to throw you another f-ing party?"

Amy I am sorry to hear that your visit had to be complicated with the very important, but very frustrating conversation. But I know that your love with find a way, it always has. And as for being proud of John, I know I would be bragging my butt off (although when we all love John and are proud of him I don't think we can call it bragging). I loved what you said about him knowing a lot about his job when at 15 he didn't know much of anything. You've got a great way with words Amy. Your post made me laugh right out loud.

Not much going on up here except working. I had my first I hate work cry the other day. The girls were just being mean to me and I am a baby who gets my feelings hurt too easily. But I was calm, cool and collected until I was in the privacy of my own car with Kev. But then a hilariously evil thing happened the other day (remember I've been bullied by these girls). I was helping watch over the swimming activity at the pool when one of my particularly rude and crude girls starts telling the life guard she is going to sit on the lifeguard chair. The lifeguard of course tells her she cannot sit on the chair, as it is for lifeguards only. The girls proceeds to argue with both of us for a while and finally states, "Well fuck you, I am doing it anyway" And as she climbs up the chair and reaches to open the umbrella a wasp flies out and stings her. They apparently were building a nest in the umbrella that sits directly on top of the lifeguard's chair. After we saw that she was not allergic and after she stopped screaming her head off and I couldn't resist very calmly saying, "It is a very good idea to listen to the lifeguard." My Mom tells me this job is going to prepare me for having teenagers, but I swear, there is no way we were this bad.

Alright I love you all and hope you are all well. Talk to you soon!
