You would think education would be a priority

Finally Friday. The weather is really nice. I think in the upper 60's. Nice all weekend too.

The budget situation at work seems to be getting worse by the day. It looks like we will have to cut almost 2 million dollars between this year and next. I really have no idea what is going to happen but it is going to be a big mess.

Right now there is not one person that is happy at work. The tone is quiet and scary. Half of the people are worried about losing their jobs and the other half are worried about what it will be like after everyone is cut and how bad is it going to be for the people left. Pretty bad times but at the end of the day, the world keeps on spinning.

Not really much going on other than the budget stuff. Jess starts basketball practice on Monday and Drew will start the week after that. We are trying to get an official visit in to the university of northern Iowa but it is conflicting with basketball games. We will get something worked out in the next couple of weeks.

The ISU coach emailed Jess and is looking at a time to come and do the home visit and offer the scholarship. I really think she is going to take that offer and go to ISU. She really liked it and it is Division 1. She would also get to go to places like California, Florida, Texas, and Arizona and run so the experience would be good.

She told me yesterday that her new goal is to go to the Olympics or at least get a shot at the Olympic trials. It is a good goal, I hope she does it. I honestly think she can if she really sets her mind to it. How awesome would that be?

Drew is getting big, have I mentioned that he wears a size 12 shoe now? Dang!

Ok, off to start.
