My 10 year class reunion

2007-08-08T08:51:00.000-05:00

I had my 10 year class reunion this past weekend. Out of 22 of us 12 showed up at the party on Saturday afternoon. It was good to see everybody and to be able to see some of their kids. Who would have thought that we would all be so responsible in just 10 years. I didn't take any pictures..i know..slacker. I was having such a good time that i totally spaced taking pics and video. Oh well. Anyway...good times i think were had by all.

I suck at blogging

I am terrible at remembering to write on this thing. You would think since i spend my entire day in front of a computer that i could do this more often. Anyway....not a real busy summer. We have both just been working. Sharon got a new job working at the college as part of the food service department. She seems to like it better than the last job. We both start back to school in August. I should be done in may and have my associates degree in criminal justice/law enforcement. It will be awesome to finally have that done.
I have my 10 year class reunion this weekend. I'm so excited to see everyone. I haven't seen alot of them since the summer after we graduated. It'll be good to see them and meet their families. I think almost all of them are married and gots kids.
Anyway i'll try to keep this more updated...yeah right. I'll have to post some pics of stuff we did this summer...like relay for life and camping.

Been awhile since i wrote...again. We are busy with classes again this semester. I'm taking nine hours and sharon is taking twelve hours but it's like 5 classes. We both stay pretty busy with that and working. I had state patrol testing and a preliminary interview in january. I'll find out here in the next week or so if i get to move on in the hiring process. I'm pretty excited but nervous too. Other than that not too much going on. I'm going to Oregon in March to hang out with Misti for a few days. That should be fun. I'll try to post some pics here in the next few days.

Lots going on

2006-11-20T17:12:00.000-06:00

I haven't posted on here forever. We have both been super busy with going to school and working. We are both doing well and ready for the semester to be over. Sharon is switching her major again. This time to Behavioral Science. I'm majoring in Criminal Justice. We haven't really been doing anything too exciting.
Adam is back from Iraq. He got back in October so that was a huge relief. Him and Alex are suppose to be moving to Fort Carson in Colorado in March so we will be closer.
Misti was able to come back in September. We had such a good time. That is really the first time i remember meeting her but it was like we had known each other forever. I kept telling people if she had been around when we were younger we would have been the female version of Adam and Will. That would have been awesome but i'm sure mom wouldn't have thought so.
Well I will try and post more and put some pics up soon.

Just a couple pictures Sharon wanted to add.

Happy Easter!! Sharon and I spent the weekend at my parents house. We had the usual Easter festivities with the Zoucha side. I've loaded some pics for everybody. Not too much else going on. Enjoy the pics.

Sharon and I dyed eggs. They are almost too pretty to eat.

March

2006-03-22T13:36:00.000-06:00

Well not too much has happened this month. I had a birthday and it snowed alot. We received around 20 inches of snow this week. Was kinda fun. I love me some snow. I haven't heard too much from Adam lately. He's on day shift now and sounds like he goes out with convoys sometimes. I've post some snow pics below.Enjoy!!!

Our vehicles were a little coverd on Monday before we even got all our snow.

Scout checking out the drift on the backporch. We made him a tunnel later.

Sharon standing by our drift in the living room window.

Our deck in back. I'm surpised the thing didn't crash to the ground with all the weight.

Trevor's birthday

2006-02-09T19:21:00.000-06:00

Trevor turned 17 at the end of January. Most of the family hopped in the fan bus and drove down to go to lunch and shop here. Little did they know Sharon had baked a cake and decorated for it the night before. Here are some pictures of the festivities.

Eileen trying to coax Emma into putting the hat on but she never did.

Trevor and his birthday cake.

We look so excited and so sexy with our birthday hats on!

Adam sent pics

2006-01-17T11:19:00.000-06:00

Adam sent pictures of him working. Thought everybody would like to see. Sounds like he's doing good. He looks good I think.

Update on Adam

2006-01-05T09:56:00.000-06:00

He trys to email as much as he can. That's the best way to talk to him since they don't get much phone time. Regular letters would probably be good too so he doesn't have to be online to read or reread them. He is currently in Iraq living on a base with 800 Iraqis and about 40 American soldiers. He reassures us that these are the good guys. He was promoted to Sergeant on Dec. 1st so I don't know if he's still doing the same job or not over there. I'll try to update this as i know more but until then keep him in your thoughts.

South Dakota Xmas

Thought I would put new pictures up of Scout since he's getting so big...and lazy.

He likes to lay on Sharon's college books while she's trying to do homework.

He likes to hold the cup with his two little paws while drinking out of a cup!!

Thanksgiving

2005-12-01T08:27:00.000-06:00

I spent Thanksgiving weekend in Cedar with the Zoucha clan while Sharon was up in SD with her family. All the food was good(I should know since I probably tried everything). Mom and I put her x-mas decorations outside. There are extension cords all over the place but it looks good. Saturday night we went to Primrose and watched Tricia sing and of course we danced. Tricia, your singing was awesome. Also Adam left for Iraq on Monday. He emailed me yesterday to say he made it okay and that it wasn't as bad as he thought. I'll post Thanksgiving pics tonight sometime.

Adam and Alex

2005-11-16T21:19:00.000-06:00

Recently Mom, Dad, Joleen and I went to Wichita to see Adam and Alex before he leaves for Iraq. I've posted a few pictures for everybody to see. We had a good time going out to eat, bowling(I won one game), and watching a movie. We found out that Adam will be training Iraqi's to drive bulldozers and such. I'll try to keep everyone up to date on what he's doing.

Our new pet

2005-11-01T20:23:00.000-06:00

Since the loss of Budha(our hamster) I've been wanting a new pet. I decided about a month back to get a cat. I've posted some pictures of him here. He is very cute and very sassy. His name is Scout.

Just Starting

2005-10-31T16:31:00.000-06:00

Well I decided to try this out to keep everybody up to date with what we are doing. Not that we usually do anything exciting but just in case. I'll try to update it as much as possible and I'll start adding pics.
