Emails with Andy: the 10 things that drive me crazy about him

So, Internet, last week’s email exchange with Andy was a popular blog post. Only problem is that it mortified Andy that his words were put on my blog. He wouldn’t really email me back this week, lest he be fodder for yet another blog post.
HOWEVER, the recent talk about how people might think we have [...]

Andy was laid off today

His last day is June 19. There is a severance package that should help a lot. Next steps for us? Getting our house ready to sell because there’s a 99% chance we won’t be able to stay in Wichita. He has a phone interview with a company scheduled and has been looking at jobs for [...]

The job situation

Many have asked what Andy’s current job situation is so I wanted to let you all know what we know. Included in the inquiries was Blake saying “Dad, are you losing your job?” which was especially interesting since we don’t watch the news and don’t discuss these things with him until there’s a reason to. [...]

So far, so good

We knew today was Layoff Day at Andy’s work but I was still shocked to get to work and see this headline right off:
BREAKING NEWS: Cessna Wichita just handed out 4600 layoff notices this morning.
We expected 2000. It increased to 4600. At the end of the day, Andy hadn’t been notified he was one of [...]

Superman

I have a lot to talk about from the holiday break but it seems only fitting that my first post would address Andy’s Superman status. We have an older house and older cars and he has a crazy wife who sometimes breaks things so everything seems to be breaking lately. Things that have broken and [...]

Pizza delivery stereotypes

Andy broke the passenger side mirror on the van recently and was frustrated by it but then remembered a quote from Blake.
Blake: Dad, there are a lot of cars that are broken and still driving.Andy: Yes, that happens and since the cars still work people drive them instead of paying for new cars.Blake: Most [...]

Wichita baseball in the news

Last night, Andy and Blake went to a Wingnuts game (local minor league baseball team). On Tuesday, Andy said he’d like to take Blake soon and on Wednesday, I got an opportunity to get free tickets from work to sit in a skybox at the game. Andy and Blake went and sat in [...]

10 years today

Today is our 10 year anniversary…yea for us! We were married pretty young and although it isn’t something I recommend to our kids (the divorce stats aren’t so good when you get married young!), it is nice that we’ve kind of grown up and melded our lives together. It’s just so much easier [...]

Andy declared the bag his favorite ever

This was the bag used for Andy’s Father’s Day gift. He loved it. The card the kids gave him was also Superman-related and allowed the kids to record a message followed by the Superman theme. We’ve had to hide the card from Blake because his desire to keep recording new messages is [...]
