News and Such

Hello all. Now I realize that it's been a few weeks since our last post. I could give all sorts of excuses (I even started a post earlier this week but never got it done) but none of them would be sufficient. I'm a slacker. There it is.

Here are some pictures from the picnic we took last Saturday in St. Joseph. It was a beautiful, sunny day and we thoroughly enjoyed playing in a park and riding our bikes (except for a few encounters with some large birds that inhabited the park).

As I'm sure many of you know by now, life has been a little hectic in the Johnson household this week. Daddy got offered a job in Houston. He gets to work on the space suits at the Johnson Space Center! How cool is that?!! We only first heard about this opening last Friday when a fast talking man from New Jersey called and asked Daddy to spruce up his resume if he was interested. Needless to say, he was interested. So he worked his magic and sent it back. Tuesday he got a call to schedule the interview on Wednesday (there were a quite few more calls intermitently as well), and yesterday he got the call with an offer. Crazy, huh?! I don't know if it has really set in yet for Mommy & Daddy. They both seem a little dazed. I, personally, am jazzed (yes, I used jazzed). I've never seen an ocean and now I have a chance to live within miles of the Gulf. It should be pretty cool.

On a completely unrelated note, Daddy ordered us a new laptop and wireless router last night (we actually haven't had a wireless router before as the sentence seems to imply, anyway). Mommy & Daddy are very excited about this considering the fact that our current laptop will shut off if someone hiccups in Tulsa (we really need to get them to drink less). It has been very frustrating for the last few weeks because if you are doing something, you lose everything if you simply bump the laptop (or in Daddy's case, look at it). It will be a wonderful new addition and we are all very excited.

Anyway, I should get back to yelling and trying to pull things out of boxes.
As always,
Addilyn Elise

I love the picture of Addilyn sitting with her legs crossed. What happened to her lip? Looks like it was a nice day!

Did you buy the Vostro 1500? Dell sent me a new hard drive (got here in less than a day, impressive!), which will hopefully solve all my problems... except for that bit where you'll be living twice as far from me. Thank Goodness for Blogs. See Ya tomorrow!
