Kimbel news

I am writing from my newly assembled computor desk. It only took Tom 13 hours to put it together and another 4 hours to re-hook all of my electronics. But I love it. We had new carpet installed thursday in the family room. No Lana, he has not been brave enough yet to lay the bathroom tile. We went to Hutsons Saturday and ordered new family room furniture, along with new bedroom furniture. They had great buys. I have never in all of our 33 years in marriage had a head board. Tom is looking forward to going back to work part time. He will be driving for St. Paul Luteran school this fall. Very well behaved children. He drove for them while he was on the police department.
Ryan recieved his orders this week. He will be going to Fort Hood, Texas. The boys start school tomorrow. They will be ableto get a few weeks in before they move. They are very excited about going to Texas. We figured out that it will be a 12 hour drive for us. Which is better than we had thought. He still does not know when he will get a leave though.
Julia and Ashley started school Wednesday, August 6. Carrie said Julia did not even cry on her first day. Good girl. She has Ashley's kindergarten teacher, which helps, because she knew her.
We took Mom and Dad to Aunt Armella's 90 th birthday party today. There was a very good crowd there. Aunt Palma's kids were there. Aunt Armella wispered in my ear, "take good care of your Mom and Dad, Your a good girl". Mom said she is down to 194 pounds. She is working very hard to lose weight. She just decided it was time to cut back on her eating. Good for her.
I wish I could have been with you girls to paint. We take our kids to Creative Ewe. It's a pottery place. We love it.
Better go to bed.
