Finally

I now have a desk in my office. It is the wrong one, but I am going to live with it, because it looks ok. I got everything umpacked (will work on organizing later) and it looks nice to be pretty much moved in. Everyone is wanting to move in, but the computer and phone jacks are not even wired, let alone half the cubicles are not done. I just keep telling people no, but I think they don't care, as I am see more and more stuff appear over here. All that is left in my old office is a chair, a couple of computers and my old desk, which I am missing very much. (I wish it fit in my new office, oh well)

Hello from Mesa!

Hello...we are having a fun time down here at Dad's house. We have had a big group visiting (well, I guess we are really the big group, but...), my brothers Mike and Bryan have been here everyday with their wives Erin and Dena, and of course, my little buddy, Ashton. We have been having a ton of fun playing games and being entertained by the girls.

Yesterday, we had a big birthday party for Anje...she just turned 4 on Dec. 23rd. Anissa filled the whole living room with balloons and the girls and Ashton had a great time playing in them. We got some great pictures. Later, Uncle Mike and Aunt Erin took Taylor and Anje for a big surprise...they got to go to Build-A-Bear. The girls got to stuff and accessorize their own stuffed animals. They both picked out the very same orange tabby kitten to stuff without knowing about the other. That was pretty interesting! They are the cutest things. They had fun doing it too!

Today is Christmas Too! We are going to open up presents as soon as everyone arrives. There are almost as many presents as Christmas the original! If that is possible...

On a sadder note, both Shaylie and I and Anissa are sick now. The germs must have been running rampant in the car on the way down here! I am feeling pretty miserable but I think I have finally got the right medicine after three different trips to the drug store. (Sorry Scott!) Hopefully, we will all be feeling better soon and won't end up infecting all of Arizona while we are here.

We miss Scott terribly! It's going to be the first New Years' that we have ever been apart (that's over 10 years worth!) Somehow, I ended up telling the story last night of how Scott and I met, the whole dating story, and it made me very homesick and nostalgic for my sweetie.

But, we will have the camera going that night so we can check in with each other. I don't know if it will be on all night but definitely at midnight, so we can say Happy New Years!

Well, I am just checking in....We'll let you know how things are going in another day or two. Love you all! Tonya, Shay and Tay...

Rainy Day

It rained all day today here in St. George. It was kind of appropriate since it felt like a dreary day at work. First, they couldn't bring my desk so I still have computers on the floor. Next, I saw that since State ITS removed IPX that day, my server couldn't see any other servers, so we will see how it works on Monday. Also, we are now moving on the second, and Howard expects us to be ready to work on the 3rd. If everything works, I deserve a medal (and a lot of money)

Tonya is in Mesa with the family. Shaylie is under the weather, which can't be fun. Well, I hope this will be the last New Year's that I spend away from my family.

Tonya's Gone...

Tonya, Taylor, and Shaylie left for New Year's down in Mesa. It is going to be a very quiet time at the house, if I am ever there. I am so busy at work that I might not be home enough to see anyone anyway.

In other news, the movers are not moving any furnishings in until after the cubicles are build, so I am still without my desk, hopefully they will be done soon.

Ready to go...

Don't worry Rose! I got the car's oil and tires checked yesterday...everything was AOK. I even went to the doctor and got my eyes checked...(Just call me four-eyes)...new glasses were ready in about an hour...Now, we are just getting packed and ready to head out...

Scott may have a car while we are gone. I am going to see if Anissa wants to leave her car here for Scott to use. She and Chad & Krissy are driving down with us in their car so she won't need hers...I don't think...

We are excited to see everyone down south. It's going to be fun...we'll see you all online! Bye.

Merry Christmas...

Well, Christmas is over! What a great day! Everybody got more than they wished for...Santa brought Taylor a Barbie Sing-with-me Karaoke Machine with lots of Britany and Backstreet Boys music and some great new stuff to fix her bicycle....Shaylie got a Magic Learning Screen Activity Center, it's a mini-computer that does it all, just like Daddy's and a new Ride-on Bike. She loves them.

Besides Santa, everyone else spoiled the girls too...we had card games, blocks, dolls, video and music tapes, coloring books and crayons, see and says, shape sorters, music makers, markers, lots of ballerina stuff, puppies, barbies, and computer games, not to mention clothes, socks, underwear and jammies (thanks to Grmama J.)

Scott and I were spoiled as well. He loves his Backyard Baseball game & his new computer, and I love my new Kitchen Table/Chairs and I will love my new digital camera when it comes. I hope I get it before I leave for Mesa tomorrow....but if not, I will have a great New Years' present when I get home.

We were so happy to have Rose here this year. We love spending time with her and we were very sad to see her leave this morning. There were more than a few tears shed when she left. She got a Massaging/Heating chair pad, and a gold heart/rose pendant and a terry robe. Taylor also picked out some soaps and lotions for her. It wasn't much, but I hope she enjoys it. Mostly, we just love spending time with her! Thanks Grmama J.

Now we are busy getting ready to leave for Mesa tomorrow. We are celebrating Christmas Two at dad's as well as Anje's birthday as well as New Year's Eve. It will just be one never ending party! I can't wait. Dad says the food is all zero points while I'm there too, so that will be nice.

We had a blast seeing and talking to everyone on the internet yesterday! I can't believe the technology these days....plus it will only be getting better and better! What a hoot!

Well, Merry Christmas to everyone! Hope your holidays were exceptional...and your New Year starts with a bang! See you in Mesa...We will be online this year (since Scott is going to be alone in Saint George, he can tune in and join us "virtually")....Bye.

Got my new server running!

My new server is now working!!!! Through much hard work and a lot of praying, it came up and everything worked. I had a few hiccups, but everything appears to be running well now. We will see Wednesday.

Christmas Eve went very well, I got the socks I needed. Taylor got me a great baseball game for my computer, and Tonya got me a watch that doubles as the TV Remote Control. Now I will not have to search for remote when I come home. I will let everyone else write what they got when they come to the site.
