Ahh...Indiana weather!

Friday, 16 January 2009

Good moring. If there are typos in this post, it's because I'm at work on this wonderful Friday morning, sitting in my coat, scarf & gloves. And yes, I have an indoor office job. Apparently, when it's really cold, that's a great time to "curtail" the use of the Universitys steam supply, therefore, reducing heat output around the campus. Therefore, our office is FREEZING. When I got here at 8am, it registered at 52 degrees....mind you that it's currently NEGATIVE 16 outside....so, really, 52 should feel like a heatwave....but it doesn't. As of 10am, it's climbed to about 56, thanks to Lindsay's little space heater there across the room....but it's still retarded that we have to stay and work in these conditions. I mean honestly -- gloves, while typing?? I have to admit, I feel really bad for the students (and my husband) who have to actually work out in this crap!  Except, I can't say that I feel all that bad for Jason...he's not real smart. He'd probably be out in this weather hunting, if he wasn't at work. He likes the cold --he's kind of a freak like that!

So, I hope that wherever you are and whatever you are doing this fine Friday morning, you are warmer than I am. You know, it's mornings like this that I wish I liked coffee...if only to keep me warm...

On another note -- Happy 21st Birthday Matthew Robert. I don't think he reads my blog...he's not into that kind of thing -- but regardless, happy birthday to him. We're going to Muncie tomorrow to celebrate with him, and I've been informed that Jason WILL be hunting all day Sunday if we go to Muncie on Saturday. Whatever...let him get it out of his system. It's supposed to be in the 30s by then -- a true heatwave!! I hope to spend my Monday off (thank you MLK) enjoying my baby and cleaning my house!!

Happy Friday!!!

Get Well Soon, Grandpa Kent

 Here's the best way to share Dad's video. Thank you all so much for submitting the clips. This really made him smile (and say some funny things the first time we watched soon after anesthesia). I think it will be treasured company this evening in the hospital. Thank you for your prayers, your thoughts, for answering the phone calls and lifting Dad up. We appreciate all your love and support.  58E2238E-D2E3-4B38-9FF6-AE1E502ABD14.mp4

Two + Two + One more = FIVE

Yup, you read that right, by the end of July, the Stockment's will officially be a family of five. Jason and I learned in mid-November that we were expecting our third child and we were both overjoyed with the news. (More so than I thought Jason would be -- he wasn't convinced on having another (or should I say, not as convinced as I was), but once he saw that baby's heartbeating on the monitor at the docs office, he couldn't keep it a secret anymore!!) I convinced Jason to keep our news to immediate family, however, failed to remember that we have a VERY chatty 4 year old, and a 2 year old who repeats everything her big bro says! :) So, we told our families on a Tuesday evening (after our doc appointment that afternoon) and by Thursday, I think half of White County knew. If you attend or drop children off to attend Pam's daycare or Bright Beginnings Preschool, you were amongst the first to know! I had hoped for some elaborate scheme to tell both of our parents ...

Life's Beachy

What a whirlwind month March has been! From the baby reveal to birthday parties (Madi turning 3, Sawyer turning 2 and soon Brad & Debbie!), to Jason working weekend after weekend at his side job, to moving Matt & Sarah into their new home, to Jason getting a new job, to kindergarten round up, to preparing for Florida....whew! Yup, you read that right -- after 14 years with Bouma Betten, Jason is making a jump. He applied for a job with Monsanto in Remington, and was lucky enough to be offered the job just last week. I am so beyond proud of him -- he's not a resume/interview kind of guy, but he put his best foot forward and proved what a hard worker he is. He'll start there as a Seed Tech in mid-April and although it will mean big changes for him (and US!), it will be worth it. The benefits cannot be topped...vacation time, paid time off for sick leave, 401K, health -- all things he didn't have (or did have, but not great) in his current job. It will certainly be a...
