I asked Jason to write a blog, but he said he had nothing to say, yet. Anyways I'll keep it going until he decides to write one. I spent the entire weekend writing a boring paper. All it contained was facts and I was so annoyed with sitting at the kitchen table both Friday night AND SaturDAY. Sunday, I took a break. We went to early service (8:30) and then went to Fairview Heights to exchange Jason's ring. The friggin diamond fell out within a week of having it. Well, we were just in Fairview Heights not too long ago so we spent very little time there. Instead, we went to Lebanon. Very cute area. It has an old town feel and a couple of neat stores. Jason bought me some "Bitch" wine. Ha! Good times. We then spent the rest of the afternoon at Hidden Lake Winery near New Baden. It was beautiful outside. A perfect fall day. There was no way I was going to stay in ALLLL weekend. We were going to go to the Christopher Homecoming game with Tim and Rachel, but since Tim has been coaching basketball, I guess they barely spend time together. So, they decided to hang out alone. It was fine since I had to type this paper anyway. But, sorry we missed the win. Congrats Tman! Nice mohawk. So, how about those wineries?? We need to regroup...I hear some regrouping has been done involving wineries and I was like, What?! What gives?? Anyways, I'm gone this weekend. I'll be back the next. I know we have a Halloween party to go to on the 31st...
Anyways, that's all I got.
An investigation is still taking place when it comes to my sister. But...I'm not going to blog anymore about it. It's complicated...

So, here's the story...
I see that most of you (out of what? Six?) have added us to your blogs, thanks for that. This is still a work in progress but I will go ahead and get things started.
Other than school and work, this is what's going on:
Jason had to fire two guys within a week of one another. The first one decided that it would be awesome to show up at the Barrell and help himeself to a cup of stolen Beamish and hide back in the cooler to sip it while he was not even working. Hmm.
The second just made the mistake of falling for a sting and sold to an underage girl. This caused a lot of stress being that the store has already been charged for this last year. It was possibly our second strike. This would cost us a $2500 fine and a 3 day suspension of our liquor license. Fantanstic. Sure, CVS was caught too, however, no one really knows about their liquor supply. Thus, not much harm is done. BUT when your business is solely liquor and the related...well, that frankly sucks. BIG time. Soda and Cigs can only make so much profit. There are things to consider, Jason just took over the store, so technically it's his first offense. We're hoping that it slides.
I also have family drama going on. My niece, Lori, is back in the hospital due to complications with her pic line (she keeps pulling it out) and the fact that the antibiotics are not necessarily doing their job. The infection is not getting worse, but they're also not changing much. Argh. My sister had to rush her to the emergency room in the middle of the night due to her breaking out in hives and being in pain. The doctor in Reid Hospital (Indiana) decided that he needed to call Child Protection Services on Bethany for not taking care of Lori properly. I am still confused on this investigation. They transfered her to Cincinnati and almost didn't let Bethany go with Lori because of this investigation. My dad went to Reid and raised hell saying they didn't hear the last of him blah blah. Big mess. Anyways, we think we got it worked out due to the evidence that Cincy has on Lori's history of pulling out her own pic line. But until the investigation clears, Lori can't go anywhere. It was scary and my sister is trying to pull it together. I'm just confused about the whole thing and not sure what to think. The system is complicated. I know. I used to work in foster care.
So, besides the above, everything is fine. We booked tickets to go to Charlotte, NC in March for my ACA conference. Not as cool as Honolulu, but still nice to enhance my professional development. We may attend the homecoming game Saturday in Christopher. Keep us updated.

We've moved
Hey peeps. This needed to be done. We have not been able to post on our original blog in weeks so a transition is in progress. We will give people the time to locate us before going into any type of depth. Sometimes change is necessary and sometimes change is stressful. As of right now, we are under construction...
