Summer job

So my 14 year old got a summer job working with his uncle. His uncle has a tree cutting service and needed help loading branches and stuff onto a trailer. It doesn’t pay as much as I would like but my son says he doesn’t care since he is making money. He is working to buy something, although I am not sure what as he won’t say anything other than there is something he wants to buy. At least he is working towards it on his own. I can’t wait to see what it is though.

Child Custody

When our friends or family have problems and end up in divorce court, it is always good to remind them that the children are the most important part of their lives and they need to work together to make it as easy as possible on the kids. Hiring a Child Custody Lawyer Atlanta who specializes in this field is always best for the family. They are able to mediate and keep both parties calm and working together for their mutual benefit.

It is to be hoped that people think twice before they take the drastic step of getting a divorce. Sometimes, Family Law can see that you get counseling to be sure that you cannot work your problems out before you take that final step. Counseling is definitely required for parents to help them, help their children deal with the divorce. My cousin had to go through it when she and her husband divorced and she was really happy that she did. It made things much easier for her to deal with and she was able to figure out how to answer her children’s questions. That is not always easy to do. It is hard for people without children to divorce, but for families it is so much more difficult.

Moving home

Yay! My childhood friend Kristy is moving back home from Salt Lake City. She moved there after high school to attend college and decided to stay, because she like it there so much. Now though, she really misses her parents and is about to have her first child, so she is coming home. She is an only child and her parents have been asking her to come back for a while now. I guess she finally caved in about it since her parents are too old to make a move there. Fortunately her in-laws are all actually here in the east as well, so they will be happy about it too.

The moverssaltlakecity.com people are going to take care of everything for her as she can’t really do anything because she is so far into her pregnancy. I can’t wait till she gets here. A few friends and I are going to help her organize her house once everything arrives, so she doesn’t have to do it all by herself. I know her mother will try to help too, but as I mentioned before she is elderly and we don’t want her to over do it. Kristy was a late in life baby, in case you can’t tell.

Found one

I had mentioned before ( I believe) that my cousin was looking for a lawyer for bankruptcy. Well apparently he found one and is happy with the choice he has made. The lawyer is helping him to not lose quite everything in the process. He has been so worried about this lately and now he can breath a little easier. With any luck the process with be a painless as possible.

Family

My cousin Crystal is getting a divorce and is having a really bad time with it. She had to find and Alimony Lawyer Boston to help her, as she helped her husband start and maintain his own business. Apparently he doesn’t believe that she deserves anything after all of the time she put in. It is always sad when people split up and their marriage is over. I really liked her husband and it is still a bit of a shock that they are ending it.

Since they have kids she chose Amy Huff Harris who also does the alimony as well. She is doing everything she can to protect the kids, but they are still understandably upset. Family lawyers are really good at their jobs though and will make sure that everything goes as smoothly as possible. I will have to call Bruce and talk to him as well. No matter what he is still family and I am sure he would like some reassurance that we are not just upset for her sake. He is a good man. I wish I knew what had happened, but she just said they grew apart. It doesn’t make a lot of sense as much as they loved each other, but I suppose it happens.

Great retirement place

My honey’s parents have decided to retire down south in Florida. They chose this really awesome place in Vero Beach. It is called Orchid Island and it has a golf and beach club. We are going to travel down there in a couple of weeks to see it and help them choose their house. They are going to make sure that it is large enough to accommodate family when we come to visit. I cannot wait to see it. I know that it is going to be awesome.

This place has all kinds of awesome amenities, like activities for the residents that keep them busy. They also have kids activities and holiday events as well. My children are going to absolutely love this place, I can tell. His parents want to be moved down there before winter kicks in this year. They have grown tired of the really cold weather and like most retiree’s Florida has the kind of weather they are wanting. The winters are balmy and the summers humid and hot. Old bones seem to need that I suppose. In any case, we will know exactly what they are getting soon and have a little mini vacation at the same time. It is only for a few days and then we will be home again.

New business

My cousin Mike is looking for a raleigh business startup lawyer. He is an electrician and has finally become tired of working for other people. He has slowly been working on building a client list and needs to get the paperwork done to have his corporate licencing ans such all finished and done right. He doesn’t want to make any mistakes, because his lively hood depends on it. I think it is awesome !

It’s a family thing

Since the whole family seems to be learning an instrument, I decided to start playing again myself. I am looking for a keyboard piano so I can accompany the kids as they are learning to read music and play their respective instruments. I think this would make for a great family time for us all in the evenings. What do you think?

So beautiful, yet so sad

This song is so beautiful, yet so sad. I think about all of the fathers out there who don’t get to see their children grow up and the kids who wonder where daddy is and if he is thinking of them. It is very humbling to think about how the fathers must feel when they cannot be there. Not all fathers are dead beats. Some just have jobs that keep them away far too long.

Memorial weekend

Memorial weekend was a blast! We took the boat out on the river and camped out for the first big weekend of the summer. There were several other families that are good friends of ours as well as the river being chock full of boats and people. The sand bar was so full, boats were tethered to each other out into the river to keep from floating away. A great time was had by all! Since I was gone all weekend and didn’t have time, Thanks to all our veterans!
