Hello Everyone

It's been a crazy summer.........
Here's what's going on with our fam..
So, Mark's dad has been back and forth visiting us here and there...he floats from job to job and location to location. He's from Phoenix, but he's lived in Texas, Florida, Las Vegas, and most recently, Washington. So, last time he was here visiting, Mark said if things don't work out there, then come here. Mark really liked the idea of his dad being here and getting to see him more often. It's been like Mark doesn't even have a family except for mine because we NEVER see them.
For those of you who don't know, Mark is the youngest of 3 boys. His mom lives in Phoenix. His oldest brother, Mike has a 4 year old daughter named Meadow and she and her mom live in Phoenix. They are going through a divorce. Which leads me to my next paragraph. And the middle brother, Matt, lives in California with his wife, Jennifer.
Love them to death!
Ok, so, Mike calls Mark a couple months ago and is really going through a tough time, so in a nutshell, he asks if he can move here and work with Mark and be close to our family. Of course we say yes. He's here and actually living upstairs at my parent's house now that Jonathan and Matthew have moved out! Jonathan and Aubrey are having Matthew stay with them! How sweet of them.
Ok, so we are looking for a new house with a basement so that Mike can live in the basement and he'll help with the mortgage payments. So, we have put an ad in the paper about our house and we are going to put up a For Sale sign pretty soon. UGH! The thought of moving...yuck!
Oh and by the way, Mark's dad did call and things didn't work out for him in Washington and yeah, he's living with us, and has been since like June 7. So, Mark's family is coming out of the woodwork so to speak, and needless to say my summer has been crazy! I feel like a chicken with it's head cut off sometimes. My mom is so sweet to come over almost every week day to take Elizabeth and Sydney to the park and school lunch and I get to go to the gym and take a break with my iPod blasting in my ears...
So, we are looking around the same area here just because I can't be too far from my school and the girl's pre-school. So, wish us luck on that!
Other than all that, things have been great! Mark and I went out with my cousin, Rachelle and her husband, Dave to the Gateway for dinner and a movie. We saw Get Smart. It was hilarious! I'm in love with Steve Carrell. I saw Dan In Real LIfe...oh my gosh so good!
I saw Hancock, too. Wow, Will Smith is unbelievable...The Pursuit of Happyness made me have so much respect for him!
Anyways, that's that for now. We are hangin in there! Hope all is well with everyone.
