Well we finally got our first family pictures taken couple weeks ago. They turned out pretty well. Things are starting to look up at my work. First time in about 6 months they are actually starting to add more jobs and call people back that were laid off.

The family made it out to Ottertail Lake last weekend to visit the Tamlyn's. We basically were on the lake all day. The girls love being outside. We also boated over to Zorbaz for dinner. They thought it was cool eating on the boat. Madison learned how to play candy land today and can't stop.

Somebody's crying
got to go

Ain't no cure for the summertime blues



Well it's been a weird summer so far. They have laid off so many guys at my work that I'm one of the bottom guys now. It sucks because system wide BNSF traffic is down like 20%, but in Dilworth we are running at about 6% less than a year ago. So management in Fort Worth decided to cut jobs everywhere, even in places that aren't down as much as others. So everybody that still has a job in Dilworth is working there butt off. Morale is really bad. So haven't had that much time to get the house ready to sell, but I'm glad to still have a job. Also work related, I applied for a management job in Bismarck. It's an office job with set hours and days off. I don't even know what that is anymore. So I hope that will come through. They are also laying people off at Tracy's work. She is really stressed out and worried. I don't think she has anything to worry about, but you never now.

We have been looking at alot of houses recently but are afraid to pull the trigger with our work situations right now. We found a smaller 2 story in West Fargo that we both really like. The back yard faces a greenway/park area and there are baseball fields,parks, and a school across the street. It would be exactly what we are looking for. It's just a great area. I'll post a pic.

Madison and Mac are both doing great. Mac can almost run right now. She's a busy bee like her sister. Madison is getting old. She know when people are lieing to her and always has something up her sleeve. They both love the lake. We have made it out there 2 weekends already this year.

Anyways, talk to you later



Oh yeah, I would like to mention that Roger Federer is officially "The Man"
