Martha’s surgery went well and she is in recovery. 

Just to let everyone know!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARTHA!!!

i love you……

          

                                             

well, my job is going very well.  I am really enjoying the people I get to meet each day and i am getting to know the staff.  I have learned a lot and have a lot left to learn.  I love having an office and my own space.  The dogs are antsy and itchy from allergies and so i don’t usually get to sleep past 6:15, but that’s ok.  i love ‘em.  My sis comes home in less than two weeks!  WOO-HOO!!!!!!  I can’t wait!  Lots of time to make up for.  My family has grown…my step sis had a beautiful baby boy named Holton John Edward Phillips.  Very cute!  They were at family dinner the other night along weith Aaron, Leigh and Nate and of course dad and Linda, me and Becca.  It was so much fun and feels so much more full!  I love it and can’t wait to add our own little one to the mix…soon, just be patient.   Becca is the best wife ever and each day gets better and better if you can believe that.  Now that she has a job she really enjoys and I have a full time job with benefits, things are just so much happier and less stressful.  I couldn’t ask for a better life!  And to top it all off i have such great friends!  I am loving the time we have gotten to spend together and look forward to this summer…CAPE COD!  Woo!!  Thanks to everyone and I want you all to know how much I love and appreciate you! 

P.S. Shout out to Martha!  Her Birthday is May 8 and then she is having surgery May 10 so keep her in your thoughts!
