Hi everybody and Happy Thanksgiving. I am home with LeAnn, who was called out due to low census. We had an eventful Thanksgiving this year. Since LeAnn was supposed to work tonight, she slept all day while I was over at her parent's house working on their new surround system. I installed the wires last year, and now they upgraded. Good thing I did that before hand. Their surround system is semi up and working (needs a few wires, but works for now). We will be having Thanksgiving with them tomorrow, and then my parents on Sunday.
Donna was working on pies all day today. They smelled wonderful. Too bad they will all be gone tomorrow. My parents are having Mexican food when we go over there. My dad is sick, so they couldn't go and visit my grandmother in Phoenix. They are going to try and see her on Saturday.
We are NOT going shopping tomorrow. We did this one year, being at the store at 2:30am. This year, we have most of our shopping done beforehand, but are going to go later in the day to get some things that we just purchased at a lower price then return them.
Tomorrow, I am also going to install Steve and Donna's Christmas Lights. As Katie will be down, I feel that we should all work together and get the Christmas Tree up and the lights up. This will be a simple undertaking, but take quite a while, especially with cherries on Saturday and dinner tomorrow (with LeAnn possibly working).
One very important thing that I forgot, the dogs have been destinkified. We gave both dogs a bath and trims. They now smell so much better.
We are ALL looking forward to Lorna and Stan's visit within a couple of weeks.
We wish everybody a Happy Thanksgiving and a enjoyable Christmas Season.
Please pray for all of our families and friends during this Christmas season. Pray for Katie, that things will be good for her including her job. Pray for good health for my parents and Donna.

Nov 20th Update
I have finally, I think, started my 8 hour job, after waiting over a month and a half. It is nice being able to work full-time. The only issue left is who my supervisor is because I am now under a different department within the district. That will happen tomorrow, when I meet with the head of Technology Services. That meeting will be fun. It happens at 8am. I have also been working hard to expand the school website. Thanks to those that have checked it out (and for letting me know of issues that have occurred).
LeAnn is at work tonight, caring for sick babies. I have not been able to see her much these past 2 nights because of work and my parents being out of town. I have been getting off around 430 and having to stop by my parents house afterwards. It is ok, as my parents will only be gone for 2 more days. Tomorrow is her last day of work this week.
We plan on going to church on Sunday and visiting her cousin Selina and her 2 kids. I am going to fix her computer and LeAnn is going to visit. We will have a good time. When I was working for Trico, I saw the outside of her house. It looks nice.
I hope everybody is having a good fall, as it has been unusually warm here. Continue to pray for Katie, Donna, and the rest of the family as we all begin to enjoy our holiday season. We hope to see and hear from many of you over the coming weeks (Yes, that includes seeing Lorna and Stan in December).

Greetings
It has been nearly 3 weeks since we last updated everybody. I have been at my job at Rincon High School for over a month. It seems like so long ago that I started. I am very busy (mostly trying to get my pay paperwork corrected, which should happen on Monday). I have started to update all of the computers on campus (this will take several months due to the fact that they have been neglected for nearly 2 years). At the same time, I am running the website (yes, I created the whole thing), monitoring the computer lab, building several new labs, and running all over campus with various problems. This past week, I had to attend manditory training on software that I have been using for nearly a month. I didn't really learn anything important, but it was nice to get away from campus for several hours. I did monitor my site while I was away, and ended up fixing a couple of problems while I was there. As part of the website duties, I get to take a lot of pictures. My goal is to take nearly 3000 pictures by Christmas break (December 18th) and have them all displayed on the website. This will be quite a task, considering everything else that I have to do.
LeAnn has been working a lot. She just got off her 8 days off, but we had a yard sale and other things that we were doing. We got rid of some items, but need to give the rest of it to charity. Last night, LeAnn told me they had 33 babies, with a lack of nurses to care for them. They were REALLY busy. She said she was very tired today. Luckily this is her last night for several days. She has to work on Thanksgiving (Wednesday - Friday nights), with possible call on Tuesday. Luckily, she does not have to work on Christmas. She has also been applying for a day position. God willing, this will happen soon.
We plan on doing Thanksgiving with the family on Friday and Sunday. On Friday, we will be over and Steve and Donna's house for our traditional Thanksgiving. Then on Sunday, we will celebrate Thanksgiving with my parents.
As my parents are currently out of town, I pray for their safe return and travels. I also pray for Katie's health and safety, as she had the flu this week. I also pray for Donna and her health, and for Steve to have the love and compassion to help her as needed.
We send our love to all and Kisses from Max and Lucky, especially Max.
