Ski Patrol

Joe and Kristen left today for a long weekend skiing at Winter Park. He took Kaitlyn last year in April so he owed Kristen a daddy-daughter trip. Kaitlyn is busy at school with the school year winding down. She has a Spring Show for her Sooner Dance Company troop in a few weeks so she's spending about 4 hours a day on dance practice. She was complaining that it was more than she did when she was on the pom squad back in high school. She and Michael were "approved" for an apartment (meaning they aren't serial killers or credit risks). They are very excited to move in together for real on a permanent basis. I think Kaitlyn is ready to move out of the sorority house - you know - too many cooks in the kitchen stuff. Everyone's getting "bitch-y."

Kristen, meanwhile, is lamenting the fact that "she is the only one who doesn't have a boyfriend." It doesn't help that she receives a wedding invitation in the mail about every week from one of her sorority sisters. Maybe she shouldn't have dumped the dentist last fall. Hopefully when she moves to her new apartment in the city in June (where all the future dentists/doctors live while going to the health sciences center), she'll meet a prospect. Her new apartment is about 5 minutes from Chesapeake where she works. Now she can sleep about an hour later in the mornings.

I'm going to Fort Worth again on Saturday with the ladies from my prayer shawl circle. We're riding the train down and going to visit a yarn shop close to downtown to sit and knit and make new friends! I'll try to take some pictures while I'm down there. It's supposed to be in the 90's and windy.

Joe and I and the girls are going back to Siesta Key and New Orleans again this summer. We invited Michael to go with us but he's too busy at work (he's the only one that does what he does at the television station - so there's no backup person). Lindsey, Kaitlyn's BFF is going with us again. This will be the 3rd summer she's gone on vacation with us. She is definitely like one of the family. Kristen is not bringing a friend because she's flying out of Florida after a few days with us to go to Las Vegas with a bunch of her friends to party over the memorial day weekend. I'm also looking forward to more lake action this summer. We're in a drought, and I don't see it raining much in our normally hot, dry, summer.
