Finally

I guess it's about time i do one now! I love looking at everyone's pictures and hearing about what's going on in your lives. It's so hard to be so far away from everyone. Ryan really has a hard time. Every single day he asks where someone in the family is and what they are doing. Good thing for my job (i guess i should say my employer). I have to work my first 3 day trip this weekend. I am flying with Melissa so that will be fun. I am getting really sad having to leave Ryan and Emily. At least I have been able to go this long without working a trip. And it is nice having a little extra money. Speaking of money, I don't know if I have told everyone, but Darrel just got promoted to assistant supervisor. And, he got a nice little raise. I think he is pretty excited about it, but he doesn't like to toot his own horn. I am happy for him, but now he thinks he has to work even more overtime than before. He usually works 8 to 10 hours extra a week. If it weren't for the weekends we would never see each other.
