Hello everyone, I know I was going to try and get on her more, but WOW!!! I haven't done this much laundry in what feels like 20 years. They guys have been staying busy with school and friends. Brennan had a friend spend the night last night and we all piled into the van to go see "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs". I have to say it was pretty cute. Tracey went and picked up our tickets early so we wouldn't have to stand in line. You're gonna love their prices here! For 2 adults and 5 children it only cost us $49.50 and that was for the 8:00pm show. It was our first big outing with everyone and we had a good time. After the show we were treated to a fabulous lightning extravaganza on the way home. The thunder shook the whole house this morning at 0514, but only Trace and I heard it.
Jeanie has called a couple of times. We're preparing another big box for her this week. They don't sell Trix cereal etc. so she's having us send some for the young troops who go into sugar withdrawals. Amy sent her large amounts of candy and pumpkin lights for her room. She is in a 4 person room, so privacy is nil and she's already had her shampoo and conditioner stolen from the shower. Go figure. We drove Tracey to Salt Lake yesterday to interview with the Petco down there. She just can't live on 17 hours a week. They had at least 30 cats in there for adoption. The horrible fact in Utah is that they don't seem to spay/neuter their animals, so overpopulation is outrageous here. Saw some adorable cats and dogs! Hopefully she'll get hired on down there and be able to make some decent dough. Miss Washington horribly, but I'm hoping fall is on the way. Tom is trying for leave and a drive down here in November. Can't wait to see him. Miss him something awful. Hope you're all doing well. The Marveling Murphy's

  1. I bet the laundry is horendous! Tom made it to the BBQ Saturday, lucky for me becuase I had him do all the cooking! It was so nice of him to come so that I could put him to work!

  2. Could Jean use some of those hotel soaps/shampoo/conditioners? I generally save them for Charlies mother-in-saw, but she would have NO problem with them going to Jean!

  3. UGH, laundry is the pits and having 4 boys' worth of it would probably push me over the edge! Good luck with that one. Glad to hear that everyone is settling in, even if there are some kinks to work out. Love to all!!
