I guess Tonight is It!
I was in the Salon and Max headed off to work. He peaked in and said" This is my last one"! I don't know where I have been but I thought friday was his last day at the Cement plant. Seems almost SURREAL to me and I am sure it's a NIGHTMARE to him. I keep thinking we are going to wake up from a bad dream.

The Countdown
Well It's seeming like life is in a series of countdowns for us right now. We have a new grandchild coming in March, Bryces High School graduation day in May. Bryce just landed a job also by the way.Chris's College graduation day is also in May and he is off to Durkee Oregon for a 2 year Internship and back on August 29 for Amanda and his wedding. Shane is done with the Marines in Late May and home with his new family. This week for Max is the culmination of almost 24 years at the cement plant on March 25. On January 31st he will no longer be employed At Ashgrove Cement. Four generations of family have worked there and now....IT IS
done. This has been a week of mixed emotions for us. I think Max prayed for this because he has wanted to be able to go to church every Sunday. Well...Now he can and I must admit, when we got married, I was looking forward to having someone to go to church with and talk about the gospel. Boom, 7 months later he got put back on shift work and that was gone. Not only did we not go to church together but we have had very few if any weekends off together. Hopefully, That can change now. Pray for us that we both will head in the right direction... we need all the help we can get.

Happy Birthday Brock
It's pretty strange when these little nephews of mine and Max's turn into Big boys and Daddy's.
I told Brocks little boy the other day his Grandma Sue was my sister. He had the cutest look on his face and told me "don't blow my mind." It wasn't very long ago when Brock was his age and he and I along with his brothers and cousin attempted the Movie " HOME Alone".
Happy Birthday Brock!!! I felt like you were my own...

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009
Max and I went to town to take care of some license plates, tax stuff, employment stuff and picked up some New years Eve dinner to go home and watch some movies. Today was the last day the Ashgrove cement plant produced clinker. There will be no more smoke or steam in the sky. On our way back into town, we stopped to get the mail and ran into Matt Gunter. All the guys at the plant were going over to the NEW El RANCHO for a last party. We stayed and visited for a bit with the group and went on home to bring the New Year in. Lots of changes in everyones lives with this shutdown and also some somethings will never happen again feelings. Mike Burrup came over to the house to visit and Our Neighbor shot off some fireworks. We had a lot of changes in 2008.2009 looks to bring on quite a few more....
