It's been a while since I've posted.  The most recent news is that I served as a juror on a two day criminal case last week.  I didn't think I would get picked at all because of where I work and because knew the attorneys.  The jury also picked me to be the presiding juror.  It was a great experience and I learned a lot from it.  It's serious business deciding someone's fate/future. 

Jesse has been busy at Frito and hopefully they are getting close in negotiations with regards to their contract.  It's been a long, drawn out process.  If he had the opportunity to work as a full time permanent worker, I don't know if he would want to; maybe if it was better hours.  

We got our big screen HDTV taken away from us because it was defective.  We are in the process of getting a replacement; Jesse has done a lot of research.  Now it's just a matter of time and working a deal.  I feel spoiled in a way, because I was so used to watching tv on a big screen and now we are watching tv on our old tube tv.  Talk about old school.  :)

I thought about grandma and grandpa today on my way home from work and how much I miss them.  They are in my thoughts often and I am so glad for that.  I thought about how they are up in heaven with God and they are young and healthy again.  I think they are proud of all of us and that they watch over us and see our lives playing out.  And though it seems like they've missed out on so much since they've been gone, they in fact are seeing everything and smiling.  They know the great grandchildren they never got to meet.  My heart aches to see them again, just once more, to tell them I love them.  I wish they were still here.  

*Thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, with which I'll never part. God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart.*
