Wonderful News!! The ZVX's were granted a 5 year restraining order against the monster!!! We were afraid it would only be good for Ms. ZVX, but it includes the girls, too!! Praise the Lord!!

I'm bored now...

Republicans Rule!!!

Maybe now we'll have some fun!

Well, I just saw my 3rd cockroach and I gotta tell ya, the 3rd time is not a charm! YUCK! I feel like those poor Indians living on the reservation that Dana used to tell me about at Mr. Appliance. (Man, I can't believe it... I actually miss that job!....) Luckily for me, Zion was here and I just had to scream a girlish little yelp and go get him to come. He rescued me from the killer cockroach!! (My hero.) I was jumping up and down on the bed trying to shake off all the other cockroaches that I just KNEW were crawling all over me (I can still feel them...) until he came back and told me that the cockroach was gone. DEAD!!! (Insert 'sigh of relief' here) All cochroaches must die in my opinion!!

We went to Pinnacle Peak the other night. The waiter was pathetic, (I even had to get up and go get my own refill of pop after waiting for him to come by for at least 5 minutes) so we left a very small tip, then we were going to go watch the show, but we decided we wanted to explain the small tip to someone, so the waiter didn't just think we were cheap... (we're pretty sure that's why we got such sad service, because there was another party of about 8 seated close to us and he took excellent care of them....) so we went and explained everything to the lady at the desk(who happened to be the same lady who actually poured my refill when I went over there, and who also happened to be a manager...) and she apoligized to us and gave us each a coupon for a free dinner including sides and desserts!! So now we'll get a chance to go back and hopefully Jariah and Becca will see that we aren't crazy next time! Isn't that awesome?! (We had really been playing up how fun it is basically since we moved here, and that was thier first experience! They didn't even have the show because there wasn't enough people!!) This is way better than gummint cheese!!

Well, Zion has now been at TEP for a week, and so far he seems to really like it. He is working with a bunch of people who knew his dad pretty well, so that's kind of cool.

Jariah's job is the same as Zion's... (actually, Zion is training him today). They will be working the same hours, so they can carpool, which is nice. Jariah doesn't seem to love it, but he thinks it'll be okay. We'll keep you posted and update this when they get home today.


Interview with Jariah about job:

Jeshanah: So, what do you think of your job?
Jariah: "It's groovy, but, actually I hope to move into a programming job as soon as possible, but, it's not bad."
Jeshanah: What do you do at your job?
Jariah: "I transfer balances from previous accounts to the present accounts. I'm everyone's worst nightmare!"
Jeshanah: How was Zion as a trainer?
Jariah: "Well, he actually has excellent notes for the whole thing, because he just learned all the same things, so I basically can just work off of his notes."
Jeshanah: Anything else you would like to say?
Jariah: "The last half of the day was pretty boring because Zion just made me sit there and watch him work, the big meany!"


Interview with Zion about job:

Jeshanah: So, what was it like training Jariah?
Zion: "It was fine, except at the end of the day, I had to do my own, uh, work, and we couldn't work off the same log-on screen, so he just sat there. I'm not a meany! You lazy bum!"
Jeshanah: How do you like your job?
Zion: "It's okay, but, I would rather be doing my job that I want to be doing, which is CEO of TEP!"
Jeshanah: What does your job entail?
Zion: "My job entails, uhh, catching those sneaky crooks that try to rip the electric company off, and training Jariah."
Jeshanah: Anything else you want to add?
Zion: "Umm, No."
Check back later for a in-depth interview with Zion!

Here is the picture of Chewbacca as per your request, Israel. He is not technically a member of the family, but he worked for my Dad's construction company last year. This picture was taken at the annual company picnic last summer. We were sad to see him leave, he was great pitcher, and always good for a laugh!

I am waiting for some pictures of other family members from my mom. I guess I won't be posting pictures of the girls though, because I have been asked not to by parents. If you want to see pictures of my neices, and I know you, just ask and I'll email them to you. Meanwhile, here is the rest of my family tree. Each branch is a different, well, branch of the family.
