Has it really been a month???
Okay, I know it's been a long time since I've posted anything and I know you just can't get through the day without knowing what's going on. It's about 6:30 Monday June 18th. In approximately 4 hours we leave on the family vacation to Atlanta to see the Red Sox play the Braves! Yeehaww! We'll be camping at Stone Mountain all week. I haven't seen the kids this excited in a long time!! We hope to visit Callaway Garden for a day also. With the Coca Cola museum in Atlanta too, I think the next 3 days will fly by! I'll be posting some pictures and stuff later in the week when we get back.
So what's been happening with me the past month you ask. Well, here's the short list..... Kimberly has been accepted to nursing school and will start this August so we both have been working a bunch of overtime to pay for the tuition and books. The bad part of that is I don't get to see my wife as much as I would like. Yet another reason too look forward to the aforementioned vacation!
We've caught a bit more of the home DIY bug again. I've primed and painted the hallway. Installed a new programmable digital thermostat, and WILL finish the bathroom by August 1st!!! Really!!! Speaking of home projects...... we had an incident with a forgotten bathtub running. The nice hardwood floors in 2 rooms & a hallway took a big hit. It took about an hour to clean up the water and the floors were starting to buckle bad. Following some advice, we borrowed a dehumidifier and ran it for a few days in the affected rooms. It reduced the swelling & bucking by about 90%!!! There are still a few bad spots but now we can wait until we want to have all of the floors refinished on our own schedule instead of having to shell out money to do it now because it looked so bad. I won't mention by name which wife of mine forgot she was drawing the bath or the child who thought it was a good idea to stuff cotton balls in the overflow drain after being told that the drain serves an important safety purpose. I hope you never have to use this little trick.
I have a line on a cadaver for Colonel Mustard. I guy from work just combined three old Ford trucks (1974, 75 & 77 F100's) to make one good running truck. He was mostly after mechanical parts, so he has many old body parts left. When he's totally done I'll make like Dr. Frankenstein. Slowly but surely Col. Mustard is taking shape.

Oh, the vacation sounds like FUN! Having grown up just north of Atlanta, I know of the places you are headed.
Congrats to your wife for being accepted to nursing school. It's a lot of work, but also a GREAT opportunity! Sometimes hospitals offer a grant if you promise to work for them upon graduation. She may want to look into that.
