I know you're tired of hearing it...

I know everyone is tired of hearing it, except maybe Eddie and Lana, but there are only 4 work days until we leave!!!! YAY!!!! And a special thanks to Becky Warner and Gladys who will be holding down the fort while I'm down south basking in the sun! Don't work too hard ladies!

SPIDERS AND LP!!

I was downstairs in the office, minding my own business, when out of nowhere a HUGE spider tried to attack me! I fought it off with all of my might, and about 10 tissues, then pinched it good in my hand so I felt, and heard, it's HUGE spider body POP!! ARGH!! I hate spiders!

The picture is a little blurry because I was shaking in my boots while trying to snap a picture! Boy was this SCARY!!

And now for a much happier subject... ONLY 9 DAYS TIL WE LEAVE FOR POWELL!!

A ABSOLUTELY OUR PERFECT SHAWNA!

It is so unbelievable that my baby is in her last year of elementary school! She has become such a beautiful and smart young lady and I'm so proud of her. She makes me laugh with her jokes, she bores me with her stories (but I still love to hear them!) and she is a best friend to her big sister! I am so grateful to have her and I hope she knows how much she means to our family, it wouldn't be the same without her!

SURPRISE!!

August 25th is my mother-in-laws birthday. This year we got together and threw a big SURPRISE party and boy was she shocked! It's been a long time since all her kids and grandkids were in the same place at once and I think it meant the world to her! WE LOVE YOU GLADYS! Hope your bday was memorable!
