Vacation

A vacation is sounding SO good right about now. Jen and I haven't been anywhere in so long. We would LOVE to take a vacation in the next year if possible. We've been looking into the Karisma Hotels as a strong possibility and really like all they have to offer. Between their elite level of service, their wonderful and relaxing accommodations, and their gourmet-inclusive concept...we figure we can't go wrong taking our family vacation here. I hope it works out, as we could really use a vacation like. How wonderful would it be to have snap to service and swim up rooms....ah, that sounds like the life to me.

Our Baby

Baby Gaskill will be here in just about 12 weeks. It still may sound like a long time, but in the whole picture...it's not long at all! We're very excited to meet our new son or daughter...and to see Kaelyn as a big sister. It's fun being surprised and not knowing we're having...I think it even adds to the anticipation of the birth even more!! Although I don't like it usually when time goes by so quickly, I do hope that November gets here soon!

Such a TALKER!

Jen and I are just amazed every day at how much Kaelyn is talking. By the time she was 12 months old she was saying so many words, and now that she's 21 months old...she's speaking in full sentences. Pretty much anything she needs or wants, she communicates with words. She does very well. We think it has a lot to do with introducing her to Sign Language at such a young age. That has really helped with her language and verbal abilities.

Online College

Sometimes I don't like the Internet very much. It makes it hard to be sure you're getting accurate information. However, one great thing that has come about from having the Internet available are online colleges and the online degree people can get. My brother in law recently got his master's degree online while still going to work full time and supporting a family. I just think it's so great that there are options like this out there. I personally have always been very impressed with Capella University. They are a fully accredited online university that provides master's and PhD degrees for adults who work. Their website is very informative and even has an Inside Online Education podcast which always offers relevant information to those looking into the college.

Time Flies...

I'm really enjoying my job. I love the time I get to spend with my family...that's the most important thing to me!! Before, I never knew when I'd be home and when I'd be working...now I kind of make my own schedule and know that I will get plenty of time to spend with Jen and Kaelyn each day. Family is VERY important to me, so to have a job like this is great. The Lord definitely knew what was perfect for me...and He found this job! I am so grateful and know that through patience and faith this job came to me. The timing is perfect and so is the job! I've been there almost a year now and can hardly believe it. I guess time flies when you're having fun!!

Go Away Telemarketers

Do you ever get tired of all the telemarketing calls?? My wife is a stay at home mom, and each night when i get home from work, she tells me that the phone simply rings off the hook. Yesterday she actually showed me all the calls her cell phone even received.....10 calls that were from telemarketers. She has stopped answering them because she doesn't have the time. It's frustrating because all of our numbers are on DO NOT CALL Lists, but they still call. Does anyone else have this problem?

Allegro Medical

Having been around since 1996, Allegro Medical already serves over 1 million satisfied customers!! They are one of the largest and most advanced online retailers of life enhancing products in the United States. They used to only offer medical supplies and health care supplies, but now have expanded to carry everything including...Exercise & Fitness Equipment, Nutritional Dietary Supplements, Maternity/Baby Supplies and Outdoor Gear. As I looked through their website and some of the things they offer I was quite impressed. I know you will be too!! Take a moment and head over there...you won't be sorry you did. It's very user friendly.
