Topic: Vanessa
Well it looks like Vanessa will be moving to Louisville for sure. Her boyfriend, Eric, is moving down there this week to take a management position down there. She is going to finish her quarter at Wright State, stay with us for a week or two while she looks to transfer to a school down there, find a place to rent, etc. then move down there too.
So this will be a busy spring for her. Oh, she is also looking to sell her truck and buy an economical car. Grandpa Jack may be willing to sell the car that Chad just finished working on. It is a 3 cylinder so it will be a lot more economical than the full sized pickup truck. She owes me money for the truck, I am tempted just to take the truck for use around the farm and call it even.
Becky is upset that she is moving out of state. I asked her, did you think the kids will stay here forever? Plus it is only about a 3 hour drive or so to get there. It's not like she's moving to one coast or another. I told her that maybe we could go visit for a weekend this summer or somthing. Also Becky tells me that Eric was waiting to get this position, get settled in, and would probably propose to Vanessa soon. So there could be all sorts of change in the next year or two.
Chelsea is hanging with Michelle again. I can see a change in her attitude. The double date this weekend was with an older guy named Ron. Seemed clean cut at least. Hard to tell if they really hit it off or not. She celebrated a friends birthday on Saturday - a group of them went and watched a couple of movies and grabbed a bite to eat. There is an AAU meeting tonight, basketball practices will be starting shortly.
Joe inherited Vanessa's futon. She is getting rid of stuff she doesn't need. He was happy to toss his old twin bed and fold out the futon - it doubled his sleeping space. Also Joe has almost caught up with Vanessa height-wise. I am thinking that sometime this year that Vanessa will have the dubious distinction of being the littlest Tilton. Also I noticed a little shadow on his upper lip. Becky said that she noticed the same thing. We are wondering if he will be hairy like Uncle Vaughn.
I did not ask Chad about April, I am guessing that he is still seeing her. He helped Vanessa by fixing her headlights in the truck. It was a bad switch. She paid him for his help. I tried to get him to do some 100K maintenance on my truck - but he said that he is getting tired of working for other people on the weekends. I told him that I could understand that - I'll just take it to a repair shop. Some of the easy stuff, I'll just do myself. He seems to be enthused about taking the Duster to the drag strip - but he needs to get hopping. Spring is almost here.
