Eldon & I think this is a really great idea! We will try and post blogs regularly. Just to update everyone on what is going on here......James has been in the Air Force for a year now and is sationed in Kadena, Japan. He is planning on coming home in January to get married to a girl he met in Japan. She is also in the Air Force and her parents live in Pensacola. We haven't mer her yet, but have talked to her on the phone and seen pictures, she seems to be a nice girl. Derrek, Lisa(his wife) and Alex (our pride and joy) are finally leaving New Orleans and moving to Madison. :-) We can harldly wait to be able to see Alex and spoil him on a regular basis. Little do his parents know, but we have a plan to steal him away. She can always have more kids! lol.

As for the Raison home, we belive it is on a sink hole and is slowly sinking. Our home owners insurance has already had someone out to do a visual inspection and a radar of the ground. Now they are sending someone out to do some drilling for soil samples. They suggested we do not invest anymore money into the home for now. So it sounds to us as if they may be considering settling a claim with us and buying the home. If that happens we plan and moving out of this thriving town known as Madison.
