Greer Family Info

Hello all,

I'm about done with work for the day. TGIF!!!!! Mom...I can't believe you almost lost your wallet. You are sooooo lucky that nice shuttle driver found it and kept if for you. Remember, you left the all important crossword pencil in the cup holder in the shuttle van while I was there.

I have very exciting news. Some of you know I have one of the worlds worst managers on the planet and she has made my life miserable for the past 8+ years. I'm working on my 10th year with SSA. She wasn't my boss in the beginning. But....Halleluia she is finally retiring on Jan 3rd. I have been doing the dance of joy since I got back from Baltimore. Apparently, she announced it while I was there. (She probably did that intentionly so I wouldn't find out for a while). I am counting the days.

As for Mr. G (Garrett) he had straight A's on his report card that also came while I was gone. Tomorrow, he has Regional Band competition/tryouts. He did it last year, but didn't make the second round. The competition is pretty tough and middle school band students from all over the County will be participating. I can vouch for the fact his trombone playing has improved since last year and hopefully he will have a better chance to move on to the second round. We just wrapped up football season on November 4th and the mighty Tigers ended up with a 1-9 record. Not really all their fault as they had a new coach and Terry and I thought he lacked a lot. Oh well, basketball tryouts are Monday next week. Garrett's going to try out, but considering he just started practicing this week, I don't hold out much hope for that.

Terry started a new job in September with Security Control Systems which is corporate security system sales and service. Back into the industry he was in before and thankfully out of the mortgage industry. So far it is going well and he is enjoying reconnecting with people in the industry he has not seen in a couple of years.

Taylor is in the 5th grade and doing very well with grades also. He has been playing flag football 'cause his Mom still won't let him play contact football yet. I know how she feels, but she's gonna have to get over it 'cause he has the potential to be a natural athlete and do very well. He will be 11 in February. We are hoping he gets to come and live with us in another year or so. That's the plan anyway.

Well it's about time to finish up my work and get out of here for the weekend. A friend is turning 40 this weekend, so we will be attending a big bash Saturday night. I'll be waiting to hear the update from Jason and Jess after their visit with Dad.

Love to all,
Debbie
