New Adventure


Olin just finished the first draft of his first novel, and we are very excited about it. He has created websites to help promote the book, and show prospective agents and publishers that there is general interest in the subject. Mostly his websites just need to show people regularly visiting the websites, so I'm asking you all to check out the sites! The book is already in the hands of a Hollywood script writer, a few literary agents, and an editor, so we are obviously positive about the book and it's potential. Carl has spent the last 6 months finishing the book that he started in 2006, and it's quite the accomplishment. Leaving comments on the blogs would be appreciated. Here are the links...thanks everybody!

Throwin' in the towel

Well, I think we're pretty tired of the house issue because Olin and I can't even talk about putting in back on the market, we're SO tired of messing with it. I think we'll do something, but the motivation is completely gone, so as for now, we're staying here, unpacking our boxes, and enjoying our very large windows. Our front yard is a mess, so I'm going to work on that when I can. I started working at Hair Razors salon, so I'm keeping busy with that. Carl has filled the requirements to get is Social Work license back, and he will be starting a job soon...I hope. Life continues to go on, and its funny because sometimes it doesn't feel like it should.
Over all things are good, it's SO nice to have Olin home, he's watching the kids on the days I work, and it's been very good for them to have Daddy home.
Taloopidoo and Daddy have become good friends the last couple weeks, going from working like 65-70 hours a week away from home to being a stay at home Dad has thrown some curve balls at Olin, but he's doing remarkably well, and I enjoy seeing him having fun with it....and the struggles that come with the fun....and I'm enjoying the break.
