Update

well i'm glad to hear everything is going well for you ash! i'm super excited for your wedding to come see you guys and the girls especially with kaylee walking and also see jen rob and katie. i even started looking into what that whole MC business is and writing a couple thoughts down. should be good fun.

i'm doing really well. work is pretty standard, i got a raise a couple months ago but unfortunately it just goes right into my lovely gas tank. i work for 2 bosses back and forth. easy and boaring with one boss and more fun but hard work with the other, it's a toss up so the balance is nice. and i'm getting lots of hours in.

Soccer is over for a couple weeks, we did pretty good but fell just short of being the best amateur team in western canada, so are probably second or top three at least, too bad. summer soccer should be fun though and it will be nice to get a bit of a break.

The truck is doing great except for a break squeak that is pretty much fixed. i also took off the running boards so they don't get in the way 4x4ing. i also got a jack and axle stands and rotated the tires and cleaned all the breaks. kinda fun taking care of the pickup.

Things with the girl are going really well too, spending probably too much time together and having lots of fun. we were actually talking about going to puerto vallarta mexico in early june which would be the first real vacation of my life! then come back nice and tanned for the wedding. i figure that should be a couple nice vacations in june.

As far as the money goes i'm going to go what i call "jew style on it's ass" meaning i won't be playing with much if any of it. doug and i were talking about maybe trying to buy a condo but we'll see how that goes.

Hello to all

Hey everybody, seems like it's been a while. I talk to Jen often and doug on occassion but you two little boys(ya I know you not little or boys) I have no idea. How is everything going? What are you all up to? For me the same old, being a mom, trying to get through school. Exams are killer right now. I cant wait till be done for a few weeks. I am doing courses all summer though so I wont be off for long. It should be a crazy summer with the wedding on the weekend following the final exam for one of my summer courses and then 2 more classes starting on the moday after. I will be glad to get out of school sooner though.

Kids are doing great, Emily is so much fun, she is so independent and able to do so much we are having a lot of fun . Kaylee is walking everywhere. She is so happy having that freedom, You should see her smile when she comes walking over, it just lights up the room.

I stoped by and talked to the university tax prof, and asked him about tax rates on the rest of the money. He said that there are no special rates for something like that and that it will just be taked at the exact same rates as if it were a persons annual income. What is everybodys plan with all that money. I am sure Jen and I can make it disseapear fast but how about you guys? No debt, no bills or responsibility, what are your plans? Any thoughts yet?

Well anyways thats all for me. Hope all is going well. Love ya all lots Ashley
