A Walk Down Memory Lane - Indianapolis

The year was 1979 and I was working in the warehouse for Hoosier Photo's Retail division. The warehouse was in the basement of the downtown store, right on Monument Circle in the Circle Tower Office Building. It was a normal day in the warehouse until I spotted one of the most beautiful girls I had ever seen. She was in for a job interview. As it turned out, and little did I know it at the time, my life was soon to be changed forever. She got the job and I guess I came with it. And 33 years, 4 kids and 4 grand babies and here we are. Life is good!

Looking back on 2011

Well we are into 2012 now and looking back on 2011 it was quite a year with a number of highlights:

- Grand babies all over the place:

Allie and Josh had Evie Jo.
Jonathan and Shannon had Wes.
Anna and Rob had Elliot.

- Allie, Josh and Evie move back from Los Angeles

- We finally find out why Lis had been so sick and got the scare of our lives as Ovarian Cancer was a scare after some tests. More tests, etc. and then finally a 3 1/2 hour surgery. 45 minutes in the head surgeon sent his surgical nurse out to tell me "NO cancer"; I felt like a weight (that I had been concealing) had been lifted from me.

God really blessed us in the areas that mean the most in 2011.
