guess who finally got their passport ?!

After takeing Thursday off from work to get a new birth certificate.
And takeing Friday off to run down to Philly to get my passport, we are now ready to start packing for the trip! By the way, 3 am there is not very much traffic to deal with! I got there at 6 am and there was allready a line forming I was # 20 and by 7 am there was around 200 people behind me and by 9 am twice that many!I got to get in a little early cause I sent for mine and never got it so they allowed some of us to go in ahead of the crowd!There was alot more vehicles to deal with getting out of there! Now I remember why I HATE the city life!!! We will now escort our daughter back to Thailand and stay 2 weeks and come home to cool down again! and get dry! By the way this is Ken writing this!

Finally an updated site!!!!!!!!

2007-01-24T09:27:00.000-05:00

We were gone for 11 days from Dec.25 thru Jan.4,07, yes we flew out on Christmas day because the rates were a lot cheaper than other times! We did get to see a lot of family as well as different friends. It was an enjoyable time for the most part, twas a little tiring for my poor wife as she had gallbladder surgery to remove it just about a week befor we took off. Kathleen was quite sore most of the time but hung in there for the duration.We took in my youngest brothers, daughters wedding in Colorado while in the west, I'm sorry, it was Cassandras wedding the oldest girl.We went up with my Pop in his van and with his HUGE black lab dog! You can about imagine that trip!Any ways it's good to be back home again and getting back into the swing of things. We have a lot of tupperware parties this month so we are busy with that and since Jeremy took off for Thialand a week after we got back, we are in an empty nest as of now. Jeremy was to visit his sister Patrina for a week or so and then take off for Cambodia and Viatnam with a team of guys to smuggle Bibles into there countries as these people don't have religious freedoms as we do here in the USA, Thank GOD we can openly express our selves here about our wonderful Saviour and our Lord Jesus Christ! Well anyways we will be getting Jeremy back on Feb. 3, Marla said that she will pick him up at JFK at 6am and then we will go to her place for lunch and to celabrate Kathleens B-day since it's on the third as well. OK now maybe people will stop bugging me for an update for a while! Seems as though I wrote a book here! but this brings us up to date.
Blessings to all, remember, OUR GOD REIGNS (sp?) Ken or better known as Pops
