Been a while

Well, when I started thinking about what I was going to write in this blog, I thought that there wasn't much to update, then I looked back to realize I haven't updated since Apirl, oops. Sorry I don't do a better job keeping this upated. It's always my intention, it just doesn't happen. So, since the last post...
Cory has accepted the position as Store Manager at Hastings in Hays. So, we are commited to Hays for the forseeable future. He just found out this past week that he will be gone to Texas for a week in October for their company meetings.
I started my new job at Sunflower Bank. I spent the first few days at training in Salina, then began may days workin in the branch. Since then I've spent another week in Salina for addtional training. While I was there, my mom came to visit one evening. We got to do a little shopping, and had dinner with my aunt.
In the last post, I had gone to a baby shower for Cory's brother's Fiance' Ashley. Since then, Baby Brooke has joined our family. We adore her! We love being Aunt Lindsey and Uncle Cory to our nieces!
Also since the last update, we've purchased a new car. Unfortunately, it wasn't because we decided that it was time for a new car. On his way back to work from his lunch break one day, Cory was hit by another car. This has turned into another fiasco all it's own. We were making great strides at paying down our debt. We had Cory's car paid off and had intentions of driving it until the wheels fell off, which I guess pretty much did, considering tires popped and wheel mechanics were part of the repairs needed for the car.

Upcoming: On October 1st we plan to attend the Huxman Run 2 Sweat in Moundridge. It is an event with intentions of raising awareness and money for the National Foundation for Ectodermal Dysplasias (NFED). I have a couple of relatives affected by Ectrodactyly, Ectodermal Dysplasias Clefting Syndrome (EEC Syndrome). (www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/deannhuxman/huxmanrun2sweat )We're looking forward to the event.
Just this evening, we booked our stay for a January vacation to Mexico. We are looking forward to that trip, and will have more details in future posts (providing I get it updated).
I think for now that gets you pretty much updated on our lives.
Hope this finds you doing well!
