Well I guess since I am creating the site I should do the first entry. Things are going well in the Stapleton Household, but everyone is just worn out. I have driven 11,000 miles since March 1st for work and been averaging at least 60 hours weeks, but as of today I am 2/3 of the way through my 90 days of sheer terror at work. I love my job but I have had so many projects and conversions come due at the same time that it has been a stretch to get by. I am also preparing for a trip to Gulf Port Mississippi to help rebuild housing that was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina (using power tools for the Lord it really does not get much better than that). When I get back I will be sure to post some pictures. So as you can image the last 60 days have been relegated to just surviving. Jess has been very busy also, she finished her last test this weekend so she has officially finished her 1st semester of masters work. (Word on the street is that she has a 4.0) Her job keeps her pretty busy also, its not unusual (sorry had to stop typing for a minute while I was singing like Tom Jones) for her to put in a 12 hour day herself. She has done all that while taking masters level classes to become a Special Education Teacher with an Autism Specialty (very proud here). Those are the recent highlights if you do not count doing laundry and dusting. Jess & I are looking forward to things slowing down in the next 30 days. We have the pre-school kids during church hour the entire month of May and right now that actually looks like a stress reliever (as long as they don’t play with the toys that I like). Well I am going to sign off now everyone take care I will talk to you later. -Jake

Good Day All! I have decided to create a blog for the website to keep everyone up to date on what is going on at the Stapleton Central Command. I know that there are a lot of free blogging sites out there but I wanted to incorporate this into my own website. Please check back every so often to see what’s up at the Stapleton Household.
