- This Blog: I have purposely slowed down blogging in anticipation of the upcoming “Simply Junior High” blog that I’m really excited about. Sadly, that is moving along rather slowly so I will comitt to getting back in the habit of a regular post.

- God is Good! Last week our old, beat up, dent-filled 1997 white Ford Expedition with 165,000 miles was totalled in an accident. Last night, spending only $200 out of our pocket, we replaced it with a white 1997 Ford Expedition that is in show room condition and only has 54,000 original miles on it….it has been owned by a resort and used soley for the purpose of showing potential clients around the property. Several years ago we made a decision to live debt-free and avoiding car payments has been a big part of that lifestyle. We drive used cars that we can pay cash for. This serves to purposes: Keeps us out of debt, and tends to keep us buying cars much more frequently as the ones we can afford typically don’t last more than a few years!  But, you can buy quite a few used $5,000 vehicles before it adds up to the price of a new car. Ummm….I will now step off my used car Vs. new car soap box!

- My daughter, Kayla, just got her driver’s permit and is suddenly the one doing most of the driving on our family outings….one more reason to buy easily replaced vehicles.

- Been in WAY too many meetings lately….gotta figure out how to get out of the office more often as we head into summer.

- I thought the LOST finale was lame and thought the 24 finale was decent. My favorite new show: Modern Family; which is odd because I’m really not a huge sit-com guy.
