Ghost Town? Hardly!

So it turns out I am actually not dead, nor did I move to a foreign country or join the witness protection program. Those rumors were getting a little weird.  No, to put it mildly, things at work have gotten a little crazy and I now find myself working four days a week.  Add to that the daily 5am seminary wake up call, soccer starting up for Luke, Cindy in volleyball, my first Primary activity tomorrow morning followed by a dance tomorrow night followed by ward council the following morning and the missionaries Sunday night for dinner and now suddenly you are amazed that this blog is getting any attention at all, right?  Because, quite frankly, I am!  The kids have the day off from school Monday and I am half tempted to take off with them early and head to the beach with a chair and my iPod.  Alright, enough of that.  You don't read this blog for downer posts about my hectic life!
