It's been a few weeks since I wrote.
When I last wrote, I wasn't allowed to share the big secret that my mom got an award called Arch Coal Teacher Achievement Award. It is given by the company based out of St.Louis for the coal based areas. My mom was awarded one of these awards . I am so proud of my mom! She only got to take 4 people with her for the dinner in Richfield. I was able to get off work and attend along with my dad, my sister Nancy and my Aunt Julie.
Last week was the week of Easter. My parents came up here and spent a few days at the famous hotel that they always stay at. It keeps the grandkids busy and gets them VERY tired! They were already with the grandkids when I got off work on Thursday. (I had to work a little later on Thursday, with the awful weather back East FedEx brought our shipment late). Friday I met up with Tammy and Josh and the kids and we met the others downtown at the Easter Egg Hunt for The National Kidney Foundation. It was really nice, they had pizza and cookies and of course WATER there for everyone. The Easter Bunny was there to get pictures with everyone. Then the Easter Egg Hunt started. Tammy and Kayden were even interviewed by FOX13 and got on the news that night. After the hunt, I went with my parents and Nancy and Tyler and did some shopping with the parents and then later met up with the Gales and more SWIMMING! Saturday we all met at Nancy's and ate turkey and the kids colored eggs. Lexi is getting so big (her birthday was last week, she is now 11) she was helping hide the eggs for the boys for a little easter egg hunt. Tyler did so good, we had a little section just for his hunt. He only had a little problem trying to distinguish between the dandelions and YELLOW eggs. Overall it was a great weekend. Sunday, I just rested and cleaned.
Mike hasn't been all that great, he had a HUGE boil last week. NO I didn't give it to him. I took him to the Instacare last Monday and they had to lance it. The doctor wasn't a good doctor. She didn't make sure he was numb before she lanced it. He was having really bad fevers!!The antibiotics have been working GREAT but there is still a little bit of an infection pocket left (the boil is on his stomach) so he will be going back to the doctor. I almost called my Doctor Brother to help me find out what I needed to do.
I will be doing the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure on May 7. If you want to donate, LET ME KNOW! I am so excited. I have been working out for about 2 months and started to lose weight and really started to feel GREAT! We have the weight trainer at work and been doing that on my lunch break at work, and WOWIE, she sure does make you work out.
Hope everyone has had a great month and a great easter!

Now you're in the know! :)
I know it's been a while since I have posted! I have been so busy with work...
I had such a good Easter! I was able to go down to EC and spend time with the family. Barrett and Chantel were so nice and picked me up on their way through and let me ride down with them. I worked that day (Good Friday) so I was SOO tired and I was so glad that I didn't have to drive down so I thought I would be able to sleep all the way down but Morgan let me know that was NOT going to happen! I fell asleep not long after we were on the road and I started waking up and she said "Nicky, you can't sleep on the ride down!" But I was able to sneak a nap in here and there. But I sure did get Max and Morgan laughing so hard when I started stealing their blankies. Being the coolest Aunt Nicky around, I colored Easter eggs with the kids (I tried to keep Koy from drinking the dye). We had some pretty colorful eggs (we had pink, purple, green, green, green and anything Max could reach). Saturday was our annual desert day! :) If you are from EC, you know all about being on the desert the Saturday before Easter. We rolled our easter eggs and played in the dirt. It was a lot of fun! I got a REALLY good microdermabrasion clean when I got home :) little sand covering my face and a good shower... Cheapest facial I'll ever have!
My parents bought the grandkids kites. We went down to the school to fly them after the desert and the kids loved them! Even though they were the cheap kites and 2 of them broke, it was really fun to watch the kids fly the kites (even though the "big kids" enjoyed them too).
At work, I have been given the opportunity (if that is what you want to call it) to have more responsibility. I can now help resolve the superviser questions (discrepancies in our queue) and I have been asked to do some training. AND, I got a big cubicle! Ok, I actually GOT a cubicle! :) WITH WALLS!!!! So I have pics of all the nieces and nephews in the cubicle now.. I also was asked to do a project for our SOP (our "bible" as we refer to it) on the cancers that we refer to frequently. These responsibilities really have been an eye opening to me and have really given me a lot to look at with my job. I LOVE MY JOB! I love the whole concept of my job. If you don't know about my job, PLEASE look at the website.. http://www.myriad.com/ My job keeps me busy, but I just love it! Yes I have my complaints, but I just love my job!
I have still been getting my earaches in that right ear. I went to the dr yesterday and they can't find anything wrong. So they are sending me to an ENT. Since I have had this pain since January and I have been on and off antibiotics, the antibiotics have been causing a lot of stress on my body. I have had to go to a GI dr. On Tuesday, I have to go in and have a procedure done to try and get answers (if you know what I mean). So when I went into the dr yesterday, I told them NO ANTIBIOTICS!!! So I go to an ENT on the 21st of this month.. I just want answers!!! :)

I thought that quote went really good with this picture. Here is Barrett out on the desert at easter. He put on the kid helmet because Morgan brought it to him. I looked over at him and his face was all squooshed. And when he took it off, he said he couldn't hear much! And this guy is supposed to be a dr and you want me to trust him? LOL... LOVE YA BARRETT!!!!
Now you are in the know with what I have been up to! :)
