I just had the best weekend with Katie! It was so fun, shopping, talking and more talking. It was great. Now I'm back in Mesa for one day and then home. I must admit I'll be happy to be home.

If you haven't talked to dad lately, he is extremely excited about his job. Keep him in your prayers...we need this to be a winner. He is very organized and has had Jason helping him on the computer. The Job Box is coming together. When I get back to Thatcher, I'm going to get with the EAC business guy and try to get our 8A certification. Apparently the stimulus money is for minority businesses and women owned businesses. This certification would help us get government contracts. And since the government seems to be the only ones working...

The Duncan deal is still up in the air. We did not accept they're proposal, issued ours and we are just waiting to hear. Again, keep us in your prayers that this can all be put behind us.

Well it's late, got to get to bed. Love to all. Mom

Good news, good news! Dad got a job!!! He starts on Monday. What a blessing. I know the Lord is watching over us. He'll be in Mesa for a couple of weeks. This will really help us out. We've not heard anymore from Dana. Our lawyer said to not contact him. The paperwork will be filed this week with the court, confirming the judgement. I guess after it's filed and recorded, we can request an asset disclosure conference. I can't imagine him declaring bankruptcy, but you never know. Greg Lambright called last night and said he saw Paul Rowley heading to Dana's. I can just imagine what those two have cooked up. So, today is a great day. Tomorrow I'm heading to Mesa for a few days, will be so fun to see everyone. It's only been about 2 weeks, but it seems like forever. Next weekend I'm planning a trip to Katie's. So fun.

Loved reading the new blogs from everyone...hmmm....almost everyone, haha. The pics are great and Emily, you really crack me up!

Love to all of you. Mom

It's another late night and so I decided to update everyone regarding the Duncan "thing"! Guess who showed up today and visited with dad for 4 hours? You got it, Dana. I gues he did the crying thing and said he was broke and if we filed our judgement he'd have to declare bankruptcy and they would lose everything. Hmmmm. Been there, done that almost. The best part was the first thing out of his mouth was ,"Could we keep this private, just between us?" Hello, I think that's how this whole mess started. Anyway, I was feeling rather compassionate yesterday towards their family, not so much now. I guess they took another loan on the house, his work is crap, and that land in Mexico, time share in Mexico, plane and new cars and equipment have really taken a toll. Offered his land in Mexico, which dad of course turned down and basically told Dana, "Go home, regroup and come up with a plan." The best part was he said he could have paid us in full just 6 months ago. Yea, right. Still can't believe anything that comes out of his mouth because he contradicts himself constantly. Dad stayed cool, but told him how it was. So, keep those prayers coming. Hope everyone is surviving the heat! We did get a nice downpour tonight, probably just add to the humidity tomorrow. Love you all, I know we've been in your prayers because I've felt them. You don't know how much that means to me. Mom
