September is upon us...

Here we are and it's September... the 11th to be exact. A day to remember those people who were innocent victims of hate. I still don't understand how killing innocent people is justification or retribution for being "wronged."

Anyway, this is not meant to be a political post.... on a much lighter note.. Tom turned 43 today... and his Dad turned 69 today as well. Tom's group at work decorated his desk with lots of confetti, streamers and even shrink-wrapped his chair. On top of all that.. they taped his mouse to his desk... pretty funny. We will be going to dinner and a movie this weekend, which will be scheduled around the many college football games. GO DUCKS!!!!

Well, just thought I would checkin.. not that anyone really reads this, but oh well.. life sucks and then you die.

Later and until next time... Tootles!!!

The Latest Happs in NC

Wow... it's been 4 months since I last posted a comment. Things have definitely been hectic since April. To start with, I now have a new job. My previous employer decided to sell out to another Bank, so myself and several other IT colleagues were left in the cold (so to speak). My last day was 6/6/08 and I have since started a new job at PROBuild. So I was only unemployed for a couple of weeks which worked out well since we have a new addition to the family.

NO, I did not have a baby!! We added a new puppy to our home and we have been having a great time with him. His name is Ryder.. named after the Ryder Cup. Any of you golf fans would know what that is all about.

Ripley (our cat) is tolerating Ryder and it's like having two furry kids pick on each other. It's a lot of fun and entertainment for both of us.

Tom is still doing great at his job, just one minor change to the business... NEW OWNERS.. Yep... the old one got tired of being in the business, so he sold it to some young guns. It's actually going to be a really good chance for them to finally get into the local market and connect with the community. The change has been a little crazy, but I don't know when change isn't crazy no matter what degree it is.

We just had the one year anniversary of buying our home. It's changed a bit since we bought it. Tom has added his touch to the front yard, so it's looking like a home. We have a lot more to do, but it's a work in progress.

Hope everyone is doing great.. we hope to see you somewhere soon. We love you and hope to hear from you soon.

Love,

Tom and Heidi

Update on the Robinsons 4/26/08

Hi All, well April is almost past us by and May is lurking around the corner... I will be leaving for Oregon on 4/30 to see my Mommie, brothers and friends. I am really looking forward to it. I have been home since January of 2007 and I need a break from work.

Tom has been working his fanny off in the front yard. He is getting all the landscaping done and also reseeding the grass since part of it died during the water restrictions last year. It's all coming together very nicely. We will send pictures when it's all done.

Hope to see you on the blog soon... love to hear from everyone. Take care and write soon!!
