(Happy Birthday Mom) and mailed it from the post office across the street.  We also stopped in Belton at Sonic. /p br class=giImageBlock-clear-both /pa href=http://gvarnell.com/node/14 target=_blankread more/a/p

p So a lot has been happening this week and I haven't updated...so grab and drink and sit back...this one's going to be long. /p p Monday and Tuesday were fairly uneventful.  I don't remember much about them so not too much could have happened. Monday we did get our new mattress delivered so that was cool.  It is a foam Tempur-Pedic knock off and we love it.  Since the girls sometimes visit during the night we definately needed a king. /p pa href=http://gvarnell.com/node/13 target=_blankread more/a/p

pGood grief. I can't believe my youngest son is having his 2nd Childhood at the ripe young age of ..... crap, how old are you anyway, Greg? 32? 33? [Where are those adoption papers???]. ///p pa href=http://gvarnell.com/node/12 target=_blankread more/a/p

p So, here is a short update of what we have been up to this past week or so.  As many of you know, I have been in-between jobs for the past few weeks and am really enjoying being unemployed.  In fact, I like it so much I have contemplated making it a permanent thing.  However, a few bills showed up and the house payment is sitting in the bill pile so I figure that is likely not the best long-term plan. I start my new gig on Wednesday. /p p/p pa href=http://gvarnell.com/node/11 target=_blankread more/a/p

pHey Greg, I just wanted to blog on your site since I seem to have that permission now, Thanks! I ran cron.php so your search works now. You can run it manually from the admin/logs/status page, or set up a cronjob in cpanel. Please only run it as little as possible. Like everything else, cron is an api hook in drupal, so there are modules to optimize the db and lots of other stuff whenever cron is run. Just point the cronjob to the cron.php script. The easiest was is ~/public_html/cron.php.Your site is looking sweet though bro! /p

p Macie started first grade this past Monday. She had a great first week and we really love her teacher, Mrs. Campbell. We're looking forward to a great year - it's hard to believe she's so big! Where does the time go?/p p img border=0 src=http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AS4IElt8fPo/SLrqU7jeqTI/AAAAAAAAACQ/osr2pk1w21w/s320/first+day.jpg /br / img border=0 src=http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AS4IElt8fPo/SLrqVJXKzVI/AAAAAAAAACY/Uf96hIwJ8QU/s320/first+day+of+first.jpg / /p

p We had our family photos taken back in June by an amazing photographer, a href=http://www.dianaraines.comDiana Raines/a. We always have the girls pictures taken in the Spring around birthdays to mark each year, but we were running a little behind this year. One of the ladies in our Pokeno group, Diana, had started doing location photography, but I didn't think much of it. A friend of ours had Diana take pictures of her girls and once I saw her proofs it was a no-brainer that I wanted Diana to take our pictures./p pa href=http://gvarnell.com/node/2 target=_blankread more/a/p

pSo, every website must start somewhere. Well, this is where this one starts. I have owned this domain for several years, and always had a blank white page as its spot on the web. Meanwhile, we (Jamie and I) have been keeping many sites fresh with info for years. Well, hopefully we will be migrating all of the pictures, stories, blogs etc. here./p pa href=http://gvarnell.com/node/1 target=_blankread more/a/p
