Family Update

Here it is October and I have noticed that it has been a month since my last post. I do have a semi-valid reason this time though, my laptop is in the shop for some repairs, so I do not have access to a computer at home right now. LOL.
I just got back from a weekend of early hunting. Nebraska had an early, any weapon, season on does for the area where I usually hunt and, since I am not working yet, I thought it would be nice to spend the weekend trying to get some good meat. Didn't get any this time though. I saw 3 does during the weekend, up 3 from last year!!! I am going to try to go down there during the regular rifle season next month.
I have a temporary job now with Omaha Steaks, working in the warehouse. I will be driving a forklift starting next month. I will be starting on days and switching to nights in December. The job will run through the beginning of January and there might be a possibility of full time work after that. I will just have to wait and see.
Shawn is still at York College, he is coming home on Wednesday for fall break. Probably for a week or so. He seems to be doing pretty good, I haven't heard any complaints yet.
Shane is probably moving back home sometime this month. He is having trouble finding a job in the Chicago area and, as we all know, it is pretty expensive to live there. Especially with no or little income coming in!! He found out that his unit in Illinois is not shipping out next March like he thought. So, he is trying to transfer to a unit located in Council Bluffs, just about 2 or 3 miles from Anne's house. If he gets that transfer, he will be living at home at least till he gets a job and can afford a place of his own.
Shay is progressing in his schoolwork. He is on track to graduate at the end of the semester. Then he still wants to go into the Army after he graduates, hopefully after the wedding!!! LOL.
Anne is currently working 2 jobs, she is still at Ford Credit and now is working part time at Nobbies (a retail store for Oriental Trading Company). She is a team lead and works there 3-4 nights a week. She is like a manager over the other employees that work with her. Right now is their busiest season of the year, they do a lot of business selling Halloween supplies and costumes. Not sure if she will have to work on Halloween or not yet.
Shannon is due on November 12 with her second child (second GRANDCHILD!!!). Things are going pretty good for her so far. Julia is growing like a weed (don't they all?!). Walking and talking up a storm. She sure keeps us all on our toes!! My mom is coming up here sometime after the birth to help Shannon and Dave out, and will probably stay around here till our (my and Anne's) wedding in mid-January.
Anne and I have a new blog page for the two of us. It is titled "thenewgronseths". It is also here at blogspot.com
