Congrats Mark and Sarah and Mom!!

two big things happened this week!
1. Mom retired (finally). she has been saying that she would retire, and she finally gave her notice in November. Then they needed her. Then some one quit. Then some one was on maternity leave. The excuses had to run out eventually. Well, now I have her all to myself, except I have to share her (sometimes) with Dillon and Dad... I guess.
and
2. Mark and Sarah bought the new house they've been looking for. The big coincident is that the people they bought the house from are the Lassen's. They have a son in my grade and we're pretty good friends. It's a REALLY nice house, and the best part is... IN-GROUND POOL!!!!!! O, the Hooyers should have fun with that. It's a fairly good sized pool with a slide. Sarah says theres one conditions though... we have to tell her she's our favorite aunt before we can swim... sorry Debbie, Janet, Jolene, Brenda, Natasha, Julie, Anne, and Judy, but you got some pretty tough competition. What will you guys bring to the table? It better be something good! (just kidding, I love you all)
