Must needed Update!

Wow, it has been a really long time since I have updated! Sorry about that! Here is a recap of our time we've missed since I have updated! Austin is 9 almost 10. In 4th Grade. He is getting SUPER tall, I am expecting he will probably be taller than me by this time next year, which honestly, isnt hard, I'm short. Ive come to grips with it it and deal. High heels ect. ha-ha. Anyways. He is still very much into track and cross country. He reads alot, loves math in school.

He's really good at it...Which did NOT come from me! He likes playing NFL Madden on the Wii, and we have recently started playing Folf, Frisbee Golf by our house. We are living in Kent still. It amazes me how quickly he's grown up! I was looking at old pictures of him from when he was a baby and toddler and time seems to have just flown by. As for me, well, I am still working at Manson Construction, Working in a new position, a recent promotion landed me in the role of Small Works Office Manager. I love the new job. I currently am working on an amazing project, I am working down on Pier 57 where the Crab Pot & carosel in seattle is,next to the Aquarium--(i took the shot below from a little skiff)

We are completely rebuilding the West side of the Pier, driving new Pilings and building a heavy concrete foundation to hold a 175'in dia. Ferris Wheel. Appropriately named the Seattle SkyWheel.

From it you will have an amazing view of all of Seattle, the amazing waterfront, the Cascades and beyond!! The enclosed Gondals will offer dinner and drink service. It is an amazing project to land as my first project that i get to call mine!!! I have an amazing sense of pride in the work i am doing. years down the road, I hope to look back with my family and be proud of the work that it has taken to complete this project. I am currently dating an amazing man, Kyle Wagner. He is a California Native, living in Phoenix, Arizona.

We have been friends going on about 7 years, and 2.5 years ago, we decided to make a go at trying our hand in a long distance relationship. It has been hard, but well worth it. He has taught me such amazing things, and we are growing together, ultimate goal is for him to be moving up here after he graduates. He is currently attending school in Phoenix obtaining his BA in Project Management. He is incredibly brilliant, and I feel I cant praise him enough for the hard work he puts in, going to school full time, working full time and completely remodeling the home he owns in Phoenix, he has his hands full. On top of caring for our newly adopted Bull Terrier, Sammy. He looks like the Target dog. He was a rescue that is a welcome addition. Strong but with such a sweet temperament. We are hoping Kyle will be able to find a great job up here(so anyone in seattle reading this...keep him in mind!) He is a great analytical thinker, a hard worker and fully dedicated. Like I said, he's amazing...definate keeper! And as an added bonus, the Parentals Love him! How often has that happened ha-ha NEVER! So he is set to graduate late this sprint (round June)so with luck and savings, we should have him here July-ish...Which I myself can hardly wait for!!! Being in the same state with him...oh man, you know they say, when you find the one you want to spend the rest of your life with, you want the rest of your life to start right then...well I truely know the meaning of that!
