He's Legal

That's right, Casey is on the road and driving! Watch out!!!! Stay off the curbs!! He has to be the happiest of any of my kids to this point by getting his license!

Casey is 16

I am not the best at keeping everybody up to date on things, but I try. Today my baby is 16, another milestone reached! I have to say that he is probably the most excited of all of my kids about getting his driver's license. He has already taken and passed his written exam, and he is scheduled to take his driving test this Wednesday. I found out today that it may snow tomorrow, so I am hoping that if it does that it all melts before his test because that would kind of suck. I am not sure if they are any easier on kids if they test on snow versus dry roads, but I would hope so. Let's all just pray that the roads are bare and dry O.K.?
I think that we are getting very close to having Jared move out. He rarely spends any time at home and it seems like both boys are constantly at each others throats when they are around each other so I am thinking that it is time. He has a place to go, and he has the possibility of moving to Florida with one of his friends families in a couple of months. I just don't know if we can make it another couple of months to see if that pans itself out. It is just one of those things that has to happen at some time, and it is better for it to happen while there is still a good relationship with all parties involved.
Stacie and Jon are doing great, it is such a good feeling to know that your child is in a commited relationship with a person that loves them and treats them like you want them to be treated, you know like royalty! They are both not afraid to speak their minds, but not in a way that is hurtful. I think they have great communication with each other and are obviously in love so what more could I want for her? Their puppies are growing and are doing so well with their obedience training that Stacie and Jon do with them, I guess all those dog whisperer shows are paying off. They are kind of looking into moving closer to where Stacie works, but I am not sure when that move will happen.
Shane and I are staying busy at work. My last post updated you on my change of hours and days at work, and now I hate to say it but my hours are going to change back. I will once again be working three twelve hour shifts from 0900-2130 starting May 8th. I am tired of being so nice and switching back and forth, but I don't think this will come up again for quite some time so I am not going to complain too much about it. I am looking forward to going back to what I have done for the last four years because it is my comfort zone and I am pretty confident in my job. I will catch up with you all later!
