Yep

Sorry, I should have expanded some more uh? :) Yes, I am starting my own bookkeeping business. It's a little daunting and a lot of work, but this is a dream of mine and I figure that now is the time to do it. I'm collecting unemployment so I'm still getting some money in, but yet I have the time to dive into it.

What do you girls think of Capstone Bookkeeping? I want a Christian meaning behind it so that when someone asks, I can use that as a opportunity, but yet I don't want it cheesy or "too" Christian if you know what I mean. I'm not very creative and I've spent wayyyy too much time trying to think of a name. So if you have any suggestions I would LOVE to hear them. My goal is to have one picked out by the end of the week and just go for it.

I'm working on writing a business plan now and so I'm staying plenty busy. It's really fun though. I'm excited. I'll have to market myself so I hope I"m able to find clients. I have a couple that may be possibilities so we'll see.

This also is a great way for me to be home and not pay for day care! But boy, is it hard working with a baby around. Way harder than I thought. But I just have to train myself. I'm just so thankful I have the opportunity. Just please pray it works out!

What are you girls up to? Erin/Jenny have you started school yet or when do you start? We will be thinking of you!

Well...motherhood is calling. I think I hear Samantha waking up. She says HI AUNTIES! :)

business?

I'm a little confused. JVeld- did you say you have your own business? did you forget to mention that earlier?

Quick note

Hey Girls!

This will be short--Dustin's grandpa died suddenly on Monday morning so we are on our way to SW MN for the vistitation and funeral. We just got back from vacation last week too. It was fun.

It was so good to hear from you girls. Erin--you need to update us on your love life! I'm excited to hear about it. Are you expecting anything soon? I'm planning on another summer wedding! I want to see you girls again.

Bec-glad to hear you guys are doing well! Sure think about you guys a lot.

Jen-sounds like you had a great trip. I haven't had a chance to view your pictures yet. How is your family doing? Anything new?

I better get going. I have to get some groceries before we leave and I'm waiting for Sam to wake up from her nap. Oh and there won't be a second anytime soon! I don't know why but having a second freaks me out. It sounds like so much more work. Having one wasn't that big of deal because she's so easy. But two just sounds really complicated! I pretty much still do whatever I want when I want, but with two, how do you even go to Target? haha. So nope, no #2 for awhile. Maybe we'll start trying in a year or so? I don't know. I want to get my business up and going and focus on that for awhile.

Love you girls so much! I miss you guys like crazy.

So I just tried to change the picture but this is what I got :) Someone else might have to do it!! Sorry, I tried :)

Long time...

It seems like it has been so long since we have communicated. Bec, I agree that your wedding was a tease since it was such a short time, but it was so much fun!! Definitely in my top five weddings that I have been in :)

I just got back from Alaska with the fam. It was beautiful there. You would all love it!! We went rafting and on a wildlife/glacier cruise and I saw whales jumping which was so awesome. Then of course, we had my cousin's wedding on a glacier which was a once in a lifetime experience! Highly recommend you all visit Alaska some time in your life :)

Only a couple more weeks until school (both schools) starts so I am enjoying every moment of relaxation I have left!! It is the calm before the storm :)

Anyway, hope you are all doing well. Jenny, Samantha's pictures look great! Erin, any news on the engagement?? :) Bec, I have been looking into places to see here in Cali when you visit next year :) Can you tell I'm excited.

Love you and miss you!

JRo

hola amigas....
i can't believe it's been a month either. i hope to have some pics soon that I can post. we've only seen 2 wedding pics and one is the jumping one and it is quite humorous. when i get the file i'll post it.

our honeymoon was great- really hot, but so nice to relax and have no responsibilities. married life is great. we have our little spats, but nothing really big yet. it's just so nice to not have to spend so much time on the phone and to be together every night.

nothing too new. life slowed down a lot after the wedding. we're finally settled in and enjoying just relaxing and hanging out with friends. i miss you guys though. it was like a big tease to see you guys for such a short period of time. i hope our only reunions aren't only at weddings, although i'm afraid that may be the case for the next few years. jveld, hope all is well w/ your house and the baby. when is number two coming along? any predictions?

hope JRO and Voss and ready to start working again. Another luxury teacher summer is over...

hope all is well. i'll post pics when i get them

Calvin Chica's!

Girls I miss you already! It's been a month already since the wedding! Crazy.

I hope everyone is doing well. I suppose you teachers are starting to get prepared for another year. I will be praying that your new classes etc go well. Bec--married for a month! How does it feel? I hope everything is going well. Have you guys had a first fight yet? Oh, I remember you telling me that the tempature thing is a struggle. haha. Does he put the seat down? :)

One of you that had your camera out for the wedding should update our picture on this. We all look a little outdated. :)

Love you girls! I keep praying for you guys. Please let me know if there are certain prayer requests.
