Wow. Almost a month since my last blog post. I knew that once I started the academy, what little free time I had would be gone. Good news! I had my first exam at the academy a few weeks ago and got a 100%! It was a legal exam which covered a months worth of material. Although I was a bit nervous and expected to pass with ease, I did not expect to ace it. It is hard to believe that over a month has passed since I started. Hopefully, September 11th (my projected graduation date) will be here before I know it.

Thanksgiving was OK this year. It was strange not having Paul there. In fact, it did not feel much like Thanksgiving at all. Were it not for the Macy's Parade and the traditional football games, I would have thought it was just another day. Maybe next year will be better.

We are looking around for a used car for my oldest son so that we can quit playing his chauffeur. His budget is for between $1000 and $1500 so it may take a while to find something that actually runs good. My neighbor offered his truck but at over $3.00 a gallon, that 38 gallon tank would take a months pay for him to fill it up!

Most of my family will be coming for Christmas this year and we can't wait. It will be only the second Christmas in my kids lives that they will get to spend with their Memere and Pepere and they are wicked excited about it. There probably won't be any more Christmases after this one with all my kids at home. Adam should be graduating in the spring and wants to go into the Coast Guard. There is no telling where he might be next year at X-mas time.

Gotta run but I will try to post at least once per week from now on. I'm really not sure how many of you actually read this blog but I will pretend there are a bunch of you!
