Hello Friends and Family!
We created this blog so we can keep in touch with all of you who matter so much! We hope you post messages as often as possible and find news about our family and updated photos and videos of Aden. he is growing so fast!!!
We are planning a vacation and are hoping that many of you can join us. It's an easy breezy sunny 7 day cruise to the Mexican Riviera on the Carnival Pride leaving Long Beach, CA on Sunday, November 30 returning Sunday, December 7th. Balcony cabins are going for $599 for a limited time so contact Carol Stark (866- ) as soon as possible. The best part- Camp Carnival for the kids- so we can take a break and kids only cost $259 for a whole week with all food and activities included! It's a gerat value and a fun even to look forward to. Hope you can come!!!!
Recent News:
My parents, Tim and Linda Kimble just moved to Dallas today. They pulled out this morning and it was very sad. Aden will miss his Mahhmahh and Bumpa very much.
American Express bought my GE division for $1B so I will become an Amex employee shortly. Keeping my fingers crossed that it will be another good large company to work for. We will see!
Andy is an Electrician-in-training. He is learning a new trade which is great and he really enjoys working for his close friend, Jim. NO CAR BUSINESS for Andy we hope.
I just embarked on a new side career as an Independent Rep for Silpada Designs Jewelry. You can visit my site at www.mysilpada.com/amy.andersen. I am passionate about the product and services and the business opportunity is quite lucrative. My goal is to become a stay at home Mom during the day working a few nights per week so I never miss a single game, practice, recital or anything!
We are going to the River (Parker, AZ) for the 4th of July and to celebrate Jack Mac's 60th birthday. we are staying with Natalie and her husband and 9 month old in their river joint. Hope to see some of you there!
Love,
Amy
