   I am not collecting right now, but I plan to finish what I started (it's   
   just me) at a later date. Bruce and I are still ecstatically married, and   
   we will celebrate our 21st anniversary in June of this year.   
      
   The kids are huge and getting more so. Caleb (19) is working at the same   
   location as my hubby right now. He had to put off going to school   
   (college) this year, because we had to get his seizures under control   
   (infrequent, but there). He then had to have pretty extensive surgery on   
   his shoulder. Needless to say, it has been a long wait. In the mean time,   
   he is working and preaching where ever he can.   
      
   Elijah is a junior in high school, and is a blast to be around. We love   
   the same music, and drive everyone else crazy! He is struggling a bit in   
   school, but we keep on him. He is involved in Tennis and has tried out for   
   the team at school and made it. He loves his tennis!   
      
   Joshua is my surprise this year. He is blossoming in high school. He's a   
   freshman this year, and he's involved in everything. He also made honor   
   roll (3.5 or higher GPA). He was in cross-country this fall and he is   
   participating in winter running until track starts in spring. He is also   
   deeply involved in Ag and FFA. He is going to get a lamb tomorrow to raise   
   for the Junior Livestock Auction for the Shasta District Fair. I have to   
   go down to the school at 6:30 am to help pick it out. UGH!   
      
   Jesse is likewise doing well. He was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in   
   November is 2002, but is an amazing kid. He has adapted his life and   
   habits around the disease, and is happy and healthy despite everything. He   
   is active in his music program at school, and has begun to learn the flute.   
   He was playing songs on it by ear within the first week!   
      
   Bruce is working at the same place since about four years ago, and it's all   
   right. The pay is good (not great, but good), but the benefits stink. He   
   loves it though, and he works with a great bunch of people. Everyone, and   
   I mean EVERYONE, is Christian. Each day starts with prayer, and everyone   
   is like-minded. It really helps with productivity and cooperation.   
      
   As for me, nothing much has changed, but things are going well. I have   
   built up my eBay business (user ID dodger-nut), and it's getting bigger.   
   Honestly, it surprised even me. I am excited though, and Bruce has begun   
   work on a web site for me (www.beautybytoni.com). It's fun and profitable!   
      
   that's all for now. Email if you want to say "Hi", and I will answer as   
   soon as I can.   
      
   For old time sake, Beanie Loveā
