No flights available to St. Louis


I guess luck is not on our side for the planned trip to St. Louis. So, we are going to press our luck in Vegas instead. No gambling of course. It is a busy time for Southwest airlines and no seats are open for us to get out. Emily and I are disapointed as we were really looking forward to visiting Peter ad Heather. We are going to hold on to the tickets if we can and try to get out to St. Louis in September or October.


Emily and I are glad that we are at least able to get out and do something for a vacation. We hope that we will be able to find plenty to do with the kids in Vegas.

The beginning, sort of.


It is 9:30 in the morning and I am sitting in front of the computer with Ashlyn in my arms, Maddie is watching the movie "Cars", and Emily is asleep.


I was working as a Network Administrator for a company and I thought it was time for a change. I enrolled in school and left my job. Emily went to work full time as a nurse so that we could have medical benefits and an income during this process.


I decided I would go into Business Administration Finance as I have already earned an associates degree in business from SLCC a few years prior. I took two classes this summer in management and now I am on a break until fall semester.

I am very much looking forward to school starting so I can keep myself busy and learn a new skill to make myself marketable.

Before school starts Emily and I have planned a vacation to visit Peter and Heather Anderson in St. Louis. We are looking forward to this occasion, as we have not been on a proper vacation since last March. The plans are contingent on our ability to get a flight on standby from Southwest. I hope it works out.
In this blog I intend to add pictures of family and updates as to the going on in our lives. I will write more soon
