Good News

Great news. Our new neighbors are not drugs users/dealers. Our landlord told us that he rented out the adjoining duplex to a lady he rented to a few years ago. Apparently it will be her and a roommate. He said she was really great. Do you have any idea how much better I'll sleep at night now. Well... I actually won't sleep any better, but I sure am happy about it. That was an answered prayer for sure.

Nathan is now officially the Photo Editor of the Midland Daily News. Today was both Ryan and John's last day. That means Nathan is the only person in the photo department for at least the next week. He made his first hire today, the candidate accepted, and will probably be starting in a week. He is close to hiring the second, but still needs to make a few reference calls. Our friend and former intern, Briana, is staying with us this week while freelancing for the paper. Having her here to shoot for Nathan this week is huge. She came the whole way up from KY to help and we are very grateful! All in all it looks like everything is going to work out just fine for Nathan at work.

Tomorrow is my favorite race day... The Kentucky Derby!! I always pick two horses, one based on the horses name and one based on some other random factor. If Calvin Borel is a jokey tomorrow... he will be one of my picks for sure. He is just so cute when he wins!! And he really seems like a good, hard workin' guy. So after I scope out the line up tomorrow... I will be announcing my official picks. I've been on a roll the last couple years. If it weren't for the second hand smoke factor of the casino, I would totally be placing a bet on the race. OK so maybe I wouldn't. I never have... but I should because I would have done well in years past. Anyway... I hope you'll watch the race. It should be a muddy one!
