Moyer family update!

The Moyer family is doing great! Logan (Stacey & Brent's son), our grandson turn 1 years old on February 16, 2009 & really enjoyed his birthday cake! Logan is such a joy to us and we count our blessing each day we get to spend with him! Another blessing is John still has a job with GM. It has been a hard time watching a company so strong go down so fast and our retirement funds.....like everyone else's. Hopefully, GM will come out a better company in the end. Jessica is doing wonderfully in her new job and she purchased her 1st new car at Christmas time - a GM Malibu! Jessica and her 2 boxers puppies are loving life. Johnny is home currently on Spring break from College but will be heading back this weekend to finish up his Junior year. Johnny is doing great in his studies at Michigan Tech University and I think enjoy the college life too! We are so looking forward to the Lusty Reunion in August. I have taken up knitting, so anyone want to learn to knit at the reunion? I can try to teach you! Love you all much! Sherri

Winter never ends in March

I looked at the weather yesterday and it said it was like -10 wind chill in the North Dakota region, burr, looks cold. I am actually in St Louis today 'til Friday for work and I was expecting 60-70 degree weather, but no, its high 36 today, high 45 tomorrow. Then it warms back up again in St Louis when I leave. New Jersey is just starting to warm up and we have had a few days over 50. Its a good sign; except for the darn wild onions that started coming up in my yard. They seem to grow better than the grass does. when I mow my lawn in the spring, it smells like onions, its really strange. Its like 'crab grass' for new jersey.

I hope you can all make it to the reunion (Mary and Doug, yes, you too). I will keep my fingers crossed. David (my new and old boyfriend:)) might not be able to come, not sure. It depends on if he gets a new job. If he doens't get a new job by then, he will have to be at a boat show in Florida. He currently works for Tiara Yachts and with the economy as of late, they are doing bad in business. I have hopes he will have a new job and can join me at the Lusty Reunion. I will be training for the NYC Marathon at that time, so I will be looking for running partners while we are there; anyone is welcome to run! :) The race in Nov 1st, but I will start training in early July, so I will not be able to skip the long runs.
See you all soon!

March day

Hi all!
March 10th we had a snow storm, I went home early from work so I wouldn't get stuck in McVille. It was blowing pretty good, hard to see. We have recently bought a house in McVille so I won't be able to do that anymore. We should be able to be in the first week of April or so, we need to do some painting and put in some carpet. I can now go shopping for stuff we need, hopefully we can go furniture shopping next week. It will be nice not to have to drive anymore, on nice days I can just walk to work. So we are excited, although Mom isn't exactly happy about being alone again. Last weekend I was down to Marisa's to help her paint in their new home and Craig and I are going down this weekend to help them move. So we are happy they have a lot more room now. They are planning on doing some carpet, kitchen flooring and counter tops, so will be nice when they get it all done. Carson is 9 mo now so I enjoyed getting in some Grandma time! I don't know about the reunion yet, August is a busy time at the elevator for me and also for Doug. Take care! Mary

Spring is a ways off here in ND

Hi,
I just by chance checked the blog this evening and found a note from Amy. I am glad to hear you will be coming to the reunion and how fun to hear there is a new love in your life. Will he come along to the reunion?

I have heard of the great quilt shop in Mayville, I haven't been there but have heard good things.

We are a ways from Spring here in ND. another snow storm blowing it self through today and tomorrow. We will miss most of it but south of us will get hit hard again. Typical for March in ND.

Mark and I will be taking a trip to Texas next week to spend some time with Mom and Dad. We are looking foward to some warm temps.

We will head to Roseau this weekend to celebrate Max and Bryn's birthdays, They are 4and 2 this year!

We look forward to seeing all of you this summer!

Spring is around the corner!

Family-
I haven't seen any posts is so long, that I thought I would just say hello to everyone. I am excited to come to Big Rapids. I have never been to South Dakota, ever. I bought my flight last week, so I am secured to attend. On a side note, I went to a quilt show here in New Jersey yesterday and met a vendor from Mayville! He sold wide batiks for backing a quilt (108" wide), and those are hard to find. you could use it for whatever, but for backs it is perfect. He was great and very friendly, as I expected once I found out where he was from. He first said 'small town between Grand Forks and Fargo'...that was my queue:). I made a new friend, go figure. Of course, next time I visit the area, I am going to his place. Not sure when that will be, but its on the list anyway:)

My new information is that I am back with my college sweetheart (David Walsh) and he is in the process of moving from Holland MI to New Jersey. He is looking for a job as well, so will be a slow process (and selling a house in MI), but I will be happy when he gets here.

Putting a picture here of my dogs so that you can see Nikki and Levi are pretty settled. Nikki has finally gained back all her weight from being lost for a month back in August. She is doing great. Last week I was out looking for another lost german shepherd in my area, found one, but it wasn't the right one. It was yet another loose German Shepherd. No one has picked it up yet, its at the local shelter. hopefully it belongs to someone, its a young female.

Can't wait to see you all!
Amy
