So, since I haven't added anything in a few months does that mean no news is good news? Just food for thought of course..... Actually, a lot has happened since November. We have been busy with the Light Rail for Jay and Open Enrollment for me. It seems that December and January are always this way but this year was 10 times worse.
In December we sighted our first Scorpions since we have moved to AZ. Jace walked in his room and saw one crawling across the floor. We caught it, played with it, then they squished it. hee hee hee! That same week we saw one in the garage. We had people working on our trees around the yard so I think they got stirred up and found their way inside. I am sure the scorpions were always there, but we didn't notice. What we don't notice won't hurt us....
December also brought Christmas, of course. Jay and the boys got a salt water aquarium set up. It is actually for Jay but the boys enjoy working on it as much as Jay does. I am surpised at the amount of time they spend playing with it. We had one in Utah and really missed it when we moved here. Jay has done an amazing job with it. When it gets more of the set up done I will post a picture of it.
The end of December brought the opening of the valley Light Rail. Jay has been crazy busy, working 12 hour days, but it was worth it. The opening went off without a hitch. Normal service now has been good if you could stop all the idiot drivers from trying to turn in front of the train. There have been 11 intersection accidents since opening. Considering that the system her has 140+ intersections that really isn't bad. The good thing is the design of the train worked out perfectly and pushes the cars off the track instead of demolishing them.
In January Jay is still busy at work with all the events happening. He spends a lot of time at it while the boys and I just relax at home. Sometimes I think this is really the good life. I know the boys and I need to get over the wintertime blues and start expending energy but we haven't yet. It is a great life though.
February has so far been more relaxed. Jay is working a lot still but it is slowing down. Jay and I did see Air Force One land yesterday. We were on our way home from work and it flew right over us. We knew it was coming into town, they stop all air traffic and auto traffic around the airport for a few minutes. It was fun to see though, a much bigger plane than I thought it would be. Now we have seen the Space Shuttle and Air Force One in person. (We saw the space shuttle flew over our house in Utah years ago.)
Not much else is going on..... For Now!!!! Knock on wood!
