Well its been a very busy April for us!!! The weekend started with our friend Jeff Wilby, being rushed to the emergency room because he thought he was having a heart attack. It all started when he was driving a Praxair truck and became dizzy and short of breath. He was smart enough to pull over and called 911. After 7 days in the hospital, they concluded he did not have a heart attack. Not sure what he has but he will never be able to drive a work truck again....bad news for him and his career at Praxair. I think his family is relieved he didn't have a heart attack and just a bit worried he will never work again. We love you Wilby family!!!
April 1 we had 2.5 inches of snow here in Enfield, CT. Crazy. Most places is melted the same day...not in Enfield. I came home from work and had to shovel. By the time I got home from work the next day, the snow was gone!! Weird, snow in April!!!
Stephen spent the week in Chicago working...lots going on with his new job! I had a busy week here in CT with house showing every other day and the opening of the golf course! Everyone has the winter itch so we have been slammed at St. Anne Country Club!! Its good seeing all the returning members!
After picking Stephen up from the airport, we spent the weekend in the yard trying to get all the leaves picked up. It wasn't the warmest day, but at least no snow or rain!! The yard and garden look decent and we got our Koi pond going. Have crocus and tulips coming up...didn't know because they were all buried under leaves. Had a few sightings of Myrtle the Turtle and all our Koi survived the long, cold winter!! After the outside work, we spent a few hours on the inside preparing for an open house. I sometimes feel like I cheated because I made cookies right before the open house...the house smelt like freshly cooked cookies!! We had 16 groups attend the open house. Keeping our fingers crossed for a bid!!!
Next week is busy busy busy...both of us working lots of hours and we have a robotics scrimmage in Boston!!!
What a wonderful night out with a bunch of great people I worked with at St. Anne Country Club! We started the night out with dinner and drinks and went bar hopping in North Hampton. We finished up the night by closing down a piano bar in Springfield MA. What a blast!!! Thanks for everything guys!!
Aces High 176 qualified to go to Championships located in Boston, Massachusetts. The team started off yesterday 4/1/14 with a very early morning leaving the school at 5am. We arrived in Boston and won our first qualifying round of the day around 3pm. After that we had an uphill battle loosing two rounds and having to replay one of them. After some trouble shooting we got to dinner at 8pm and got some rest at the hotel.

Saturday March 15 we sadly headed to St. Louis to help make preparation for the cremation of Kay. He had been sick for awhile but this was a sudden, unexpected time to pass. Kevin and Denise came in from Seattle; Sheri and Derek came in from Florida and we came from Chicago. Kay had all his kids with him during the memorial. We spent time going through old pictures and all his accommodations selecting a few to be present during the memorial. We love you and miss you Kay!
We started the week off by flying in on Saturday night (4/8/14) and visiting with the Zaehringers and Mom and Dad Wassmer at a hotel close to Marty and Julies. Sunday was the baptism with a lunch that followed. It was so good seeing all the nieces and nephews together. I'm a proud godmother of Alexis and Emery!!! After the luncheon, Mom, Dad, Stephen and I traveled back to Merrillville IN where we stayed for the week to house hunt. Monday and Tues Mom, Dad and I looked at 25 houses. We all made little notes on the ones we liked! Mom and Dad had to leave Tues night so Stephen and I discussed which ones we like best. On Thurs, Stephen took the day off work and we re-evaluated about 8 houses and found one we liked and placed a bid. 
While in Indiana for a week, poor Stephen worked everyday which gave me time to visit with some of my friends. One night we had diner with Barbie and Scott. Another night, the day Stephen had to work 22hrs, I went out with my girl friends from Merrillville Animal Hospital. Its was so good seeing those girls!! Also had lunch with Tony and Marcy-whom set me up with an interview with Allstate! During this busy week, we also had 3.5 inches of snow....crazy!!
