KG's Hideaway

Good Lord, things are going crazy around here! I've been a little distant here lately because I wasn't sure how things would go, but I NEver expected it to go the way it did. But first, some really bad news.

Jamie is having some MAJOR surgery tomorrow so I'm headed to her house tonight for a "slumber party" and that way I'll already be on that side of town tomorrow when we have to be at the hospital at the crack of dawn. I'm sleepy already!!

To top that off, Tom Beasley, who takes all the pictures for the local paper (and provides me with some of my favorite pictures of Ryan in action) was in a terrible motorcycle accident two weeks ago that paralyzed him from the neck down. At the time, they asked him if he wanted them to turn off the ventilator and he blinked to tell them no. I don't know if he changed his mind or if something happened but he passed away Friday. It really breaks my heart! He was sooooo kind and always teased Ryan that the reason she was ALWAYS in the paper is because she made the funniest faces when she was competing. So sad. We also found out that one of Ryan's teammates from last year and the year before, lost her mom this weekend. She was only 35 and died from a stroke. So sad!

About two weeks ago, Craig received a job offer from a company he did some business with. The actual job interview was a week ago today, but he told his bosses about it about two days before. They told him to be prepared for a counter offer. After the interview he came to them and was fully prepared to give his two week notice on the spot because he didn't believe what they would offer him would come CLOSE to the amazing offer he got from this other company. Well, his company DID and offered him 25% more than the other. WTH? He also got an email from the president of his company that was only 5 words long; "Don't even think about it!" So, he didn't. I had been prepared for Craig taking the other job. He was either going to have an extra 40 minute commute each way or we were going to move to the Denton/Lewisville area. That wouldn't have been a problem at all since that's where Ryan will be attending college next year, but still....

So needless to say, I'm pleased. He's staying at the company that I LOVE him working for (the perks are Fan-fucking-tastic!!) AND he got an amazing raise.

There're loads of other great news but I gotta get ready for school now. More later!
