Life Changes

This past week, my brother-in-law got a job offer with the company that he has been interning with. The job is in Michigan and they have to be there at the end of January. He's been interviewing with the position for a few months now, so we were expecting it, but it's now REAL. I can't just got up and see the family anymore. I'm getting sad, even though I'm so happy for them.
They'll do great! Congrats to the Barbers.

Change of subject:

Some have asked about my new job. I work with Precision Concrete Cutting. I'm their new Office Manager. (My title is the Secretary, but I don't do much secretary work!!!) It's been rough in a couple of places. I work with a bunch of guys and they sometimes to think about what they are saying and just say it. Girls are a lot more sensitive. But I need to get my mind in the right set. I do love the work though. I feel like I'm really accomplishing something. I was accomplishing things at my other jobs, I just couldn't stay there. So it's been a good transition. Hopefully communication will get better and less assumption with reside.

I hope you all had a MERRY CHRISTMAS and that you're NEW YEAR will be filled with lots of Joy and Happiness and that unexpected surprises will be cherished with their passing.

May I take your order miss......

Mommy, do you mind if I order? I think I'll have these yummy pancakes. What do you think?

She just picked up the menu and held it like us. Isn't she cute!!!!

I'm sorry that I just keep posting stuff about my nieces. I just got my camera fixed, so I'm making up for lost time.

Go horsey go....

Remember riding on your dad's back when you were little? I loved it and my dad would do some crazy stuff. I saw William and Alyssa doing it and I had to take a picture.
But I do not remember, EVER, wanting daddy to ride on my back. Did you?
Cute that she couldn't even see that it would never work.

Lynn. My Supergirl...

This is my niece Lynn. She turned 6 months on Dec. 4. She looks more like her dad then her sister Alyssa, who is a carbon copy of her mom.
Well, when I was home this past week, I had the opportunity to spend a lot more time with her then I ever have before. My camera has been broken, so I've been using my phone's camera, but now that my camera is fixed, I went camera happy. Although I got some great pictures of Lynn, I accidentally deleted them before uploading them to the computer.

I don't know how she does it, but her bib always gets rotated around so that it's on her back and it looks like she has a cape on. So I call her my Supergirl. I wish I had this picture, but it was one of the ones I erased, where she is on her belly with her arms and legs up in the air and it looks like she is flying. So, she really is Supergirl.

Isn't she so....CUTE! I had a picture of her sticking her tongue out, which she does all the time. She just sticks it out, not wiggling it or anything . Alyssa, her big sister used to stick her tongue out when she was a baby too, but her tongue would be going a million miles a minute. Must run in the family.

Alyssa...

This is my niece Alyssa. She's so cute. I can't believe she smiled so real in this picture. I'm so proud of her. She is so obedient and so kind. She loves life and loves to live it to the fullest.

Here she is with her doggy in her coat. She didn't want her to get cold when we went to the store. She goes everywhere with her. She calls her "Mama Dog"

I think it would help out my webpage to have that kindof thing on it. My email is jenny.n@jpbooksdesigns.com and put "testimonial" in the subject line. Thanks. You all are great!

The End

This blog is a tribute to my Grandpa. Arthur Lynn Nielson was born Dec. 17, 1919. He left this life while he was sleeping on Dec. 2, 2007. Husband to Margaret Alma Green Nielson, Father to Linda, Mark, Claudia and Dart. He was a great community leader (he was the Mayor of our town before I was born) and he started the business that my Dad now runs.
I grew up with my grandparents right next store. I was at their house more than I was at mine. I loved to sit with them and just be with them. Grandad was always the hard one. Grandma was the soft one. But together they complimented eachother. When Grandma died in 1998, Grandpa took it really hard, but he was still the same old guy. He softened a bit (I think the great grandchildren helped a bit) and I started to get to know him better. Coming home to visit from college led me to go visit with him and there were times when we would just talk about his life, times when he would just tell me about what I should be doing, times when we would just watch TV together and times when we would cry about life, love and all the stuff in-between. I grew to love him more in those times then ever before.
He is my Grandad and I love him. He's not hurting anymore, and I know that he's with Grandma again. I'll miss seeing him when I go visiting Colorado, but I'll be content living in the time now till we will meet again.
I love you Grandpa. God bless!
