Summer of 2022

We took the time to hang out with each other this summer. We rode cars, play lazar tag, and mini-golf. Totally worth it.

Do not let this blog Die

Well fans,

Its been over a year since any one of us posted something, so I will start. Though Mom is gone (and will always be missed) I still work at Nielsen and am about to celebrate 14 years of marriage. The kids are doing well and Drew has stopped calling me Daddy Bye Bye though he has stuck to me like glue when I am home. Leighton is talking a lot and singing. He has the Bingham voice and sings better then he speaks. Aaron is really helpful around the house but he is chomping at the bit to be 13 himself. He desperately wants to see all the PG-13 movies like Thor, Hulk, Iron Man, Bat Man etc. You get the idea. My princess Thacia is doing well. Its weird to see her next to her fellow beehive (she is a head shorter) with her cane but those girls treat her great. She loves the evening activities although its on the same night that Aaron has scouts.

I wish that I was home with the kids more. I would spend a lot more time with  them. Being away from home, its lonely but when I am home its crowding. I need the careful balance. In the mean time I keep looking for a house and job that suits the family.

Shelly and I are doing great. Any want points on marriage can call us. I cant believe that we have done so well being so far apart. I (like I said before) want to be home more so I can see her beautiful face more and more. We have such the best conversations on the phone but it comes with practice. I love her so much and tell her daily.

I hope that all us Binghams' are doing great. Keep the faith and I love you all. Talk to you soon in September.

Nate.

The other Binghams (Nate's Family)

Last few days have been filled with real highs and lows. I have been home for most of the month from grievance and the Salt Lake market. February has been ok. The family as a whole has had sickness run though us like a train but currently we are a healthy bunch.

To give you an update on the lot of us...

Me, I still work for Nielsen and travel across this great country. I look for every moment to be with my wife and kids as possible.

Shelly writes in her journal and is running out of pages. Raising the kids is... (well I better not say its easy or hard, it just is). She has taken up here needle work when I am not at home. She reads a ton and frankly I have taken up some reading too but its just the one novel, The Hidden Symbol by Dan Brown.

Thacia has transferred to the new school that is more accommodating for her disabilities. She loves her school and I have noticed that she really misses her dad but that comes with all the kids but like her brother Leighton, she comes up to me and asks for a hug regularly.

Aaron loves Facebook and if you see me online on my Nathan account (thats the one with the green face) chances are thats Aaron and not me if its between 3 and 8 PM. Aaron is a smart kid and has really taken to online games. Worries us parents as he wants his own accounts and wants to spend a lot of time on the computer. Thank goodness that we instituted a point system for him to earn minutes on the computer and games otherwise he would run a muck.

Leighton (I love his name) has been counting and doing his alphabet and telling us of all the animals he can quickly recognize. He is also potty training and has really tested our patience. He really doesn't want to do it. The fight is on....

Drew has been singing and counting everything.He loves hugs and kisses and he such a cutie. He has this shoe fetish that has gone from boots to shoes in bed to wearing now house shoes (slippers) all the time. From the moment he wakes to the moment he sleeps, its shoes, shoes, shoes.

Mom's funeral

Back on the Road

Once again I am on the road (don't worry mom, I'll go to church tomorrow). I am in Barstow a little town along route 66. I have been here for a week now. Its the first time I have been west in months. Covering for team 2 I will not see Utah (sorry that is covered by team 1) but I will see a lot of Cali and Nevada. The guy is sick so I have to be here for 4 weeks. I keep correspondence with the wife and kids through writing and phone calls.

In regards to moving to the 'real' mountains of this country (believe me when I say the Appalachian mountains are nothing compared to the Rockies), well its taking its time we have now about 60 days to move and the time to move is getting close at hand. We are hoping for a quick sale or short sale. Preferably a short sale as the bank is giving us time to sale before fore closer. We have repainted and repaired the roof with the money we have got from tax returns.

My boss is looking forward to someone covering the north west as there is no one who want to live in the cold and dry (alcohol free) states of Utah or the slightly more wet (alcohol that is) states of Idaho, Oregon, Washington or Colorado. Lets face it for my friends that enjoy women, booze, smoking and an occasional bet, the north west is not for them but it is for me.

I really miss family and friends that I have been forced to correspond via email, phone calls and mail. Me and Shelly really want to return and this is a prime opportunity and we are fortunate that I have a job that allows me to move to where the work is and that is anywhere in the USA. At any rate I will not bore you with the details of what is going on here but to say we are happy and love and miss you all. Attached is a picture of Leighton J Bingham a guy that loves to have his picture taken.

Back on the Road

Shelly and I (or is that Me and Shelly) are excited to be starting 2009 with more field time for me then ever. Already I have been to Chicago and Atlanta and its awesome. The visits have been short and sweet and straight to the point. Perhaps this year will be better then the last.
