I live...i know it has been a long time my new job is soo insane. Ive been so busy that i have been compleatly unreachable. last week an alarm went off on the sprinkler system.. long and short a old head on the system ended up blowing thank god the system was shut off when this happened. and only air came out of the head when it burst. MUCH better than 80 gallons of water per min. what a rush, the tenants are mostly crazy but harmless, always wanting more for less money. DONT they know how far below market they already pay? AAAH me an rick are great as usual now a days. He is working tons but starting to enjoy it again i think he goes in phases between love and hate of his job. I went to kate shoreys bridal shower last week and wow i am so happy for her! It was really nice to see all the old girls. I got to reconnect with some wonderful friends and am meeting one today to go to the Marbleworks Pharmacy 20th anniversary festival. Should prove to be quite interesting. Her son who was just a tot when last i saw him. Is now six years old! My oh my time flys.

the family*

its strange how tragety brings people together. Morgan Leigh Lancer 7/31/82-8/21/08. Sadness and greif are abundant. I was hoping that writing could heal my soul but right now it is not right. I knew morgan since we were babies together. She was so fun, spirit shining through the good bad and the ugly. we had alot of fun times together, not to mention the trouble we got in together. Ahhh its amazing how much i have prayed in the last few days, i mean its a regular thing for me but really non stop. I know thats what she needs and what she would have done for me. We hadent hung out in quite a while and i wish we had, i guess that is why im praying so much catholic-ish guilt on not trying harder. but its not important, what is important is remembering the sparkling soul that was morgan, the morgan that i will never forget. I guess her family is having an increadibly hard time, cant blame them. i and everyone should send them strength in whichever way you can....i guess ill just keep praying.

and shes gone on a jet plane.... I didnt think it would hit me so hard but my oh my. Lindsay left on tuesday for tuscon AZ to work for white stallion ranch. I am so happy and proud of her but cant help but feel deserted. I miss you linds. this year has been tremendously hard and well linds has been my stone. She always understands and never judges no matter what! Wow. i cant help but feel like my lincoln connection is no longer which is bittersweet. But alas i have no time, i love this picture i just wish you could see mrs. perfects "stairway to heaven". I hope to visit AZ this spring after the heating system is shut down for the winter at the building. If and when i do trust that there will be many wonderful horseback riding in the desert picts.

one doggy pic

I never finished about ruckus

So i never fininshed the whole big dog thing. I didnt end up keeping him we were testing him out and it did not work in a big way. The problem was this. Big dog=big poop, pee, big dog that has not been fully trained= ... well im sure you can put it together. Not to mention the time i took him for a hike and he got loose and almost got us both killed by a bus. scary..
on a better note. i am "testing" another dog this weekend and i feel really good about this one. He is a american eskimo dog, purebred. he only weights about 15 lbs. ( i can totally take him). he is white, fuzzy, snuggly, cute, 7 years old and FULLY trained. So we will see. Promise for a update after the weekend.
