I'm going to be an aunt again!

I'm going to be an aunt again! My sister that just got married at the beginning of June announced on Facebook today that she is pregnant. It is getting hard to keep up with how many nieces and nephews I have. Let's see--on Erick's side, Daniel has two, Christa has one, Liz has three, Ben has two, and Joe has three. On my side, Chris has one, Emily is pregnant with her third, and Susie is pregnant with her first. So all together that's sixteen nieces and nephews! Whew!

I actually found out the news on Facebook because they didn't have our new numbers. We recently switched from Verizon, which we've had forever and a day, to AT&T. We were able to get smart phones with data and will be paying just a few dollars more than what we are paying now with dumb phones and no data. But I think we can afford it. I didn't get the department manager job, because someone else transferred into the position from another store, but I did get CSM again (Customer Service Manager) which meant a .70 raise. I've also been getting lots of hours. The plan is for Erick to take over the bulk of the homeschooling this fall since I'll be busy working pretty much full time and finishing my last semester of school.

We also did close on our house finally. There was always just one more thing, but we finally were able to sign the enormous stack of papers and so we can call it our own now. Still hoping that the old house in Jasonville will sell, though. I need to call the realtor Monday and give him my new number.

Three of the kids want to join the Civil Air Patrol. Jay and Abby really like it. Sarah said she'd join if her friend joined, and it looks like her friend is going to join. Joy said it wasn't for her. We met another homeschool family there, and they helped me get on the waiting list for the Springfield co-op group. So far we've been meeting with the homeschoolers in Lincoln, but they don't have co-op there. They just hang out at the park for a couple of hours once a week. It's kind of a drive and the last time I went I got completely lost.

The older three girls have been gone all week. They went back to spend a week with their friends in Indiana. They come home tomorrow. I'll be glad to see them, but I'm glad they had the chance to go.
