Much needed Girls Weekend...

What another crazy week... Where is the summer going? I had such big plans, all these fun weekend trips and none of them have happened....yet! I am headed to Atlanta this weekend for the Deeper Still Conference. My mom, Lisa, and my friend Shantel are going and meeting my Aunt's church from TN. I love, love, love Beth Moore and Travis!!! Mine and Brian's family have known Travis for about ten years now. We met him at a youth camp in New Mexico back before he was Famous! So it is always nice to chat with him and get the scoop on his fam and tell him about ours... I know it will be a great weekend and the Lord will be blessed!

I have next week off from work and I plan to work....on my tan!!! There are 100 other things I need to do...work in the yard, spring/summer clean, etc. However I feel as though my ability to get as dark as possible is more of a priority!!!

I will post some pics soon!

Too much...

It has been an exhausting couple of weeks! Brian is recuperating from surgery, everything went great and he starts physical therapy on Thursday. He has to do it for three weeks then hopefully he can start playing B-ball again, since he misses it so much!!!

We having been traveling back and forth to South Carolina. We lived there about 17 years ago and made some life long friends. So my babysitter (Mertis) from way back when has cancer and there is nothing more they can do. She has a grandson my age that lived with them, he was my best friend. He taught me how to shoot a gun!!! So my mom, dad and I went two weekends ago, she was doing pretty bad and they didn't think she would make it much longer. Amanda, Dusty and Kayla were on vacation in South Dakota so she didn't get to go with us. So when she got home she wanted to go and see her. We got up Sat. morning drove 4.5 hours and thought we would visit for a hour or so and head home. When we got to the hospital Mertis was up in the bed talking and looking like a different person from a week ago. In fact she got released from the hospital while we were there. Granted there is nothing more any doctors can do but God can do anything! We didn't leave their house until 9 that night and drove home. We were so tired we could barely keep our eyes opened, but we made it home safely. I don't think I will do anymore day trips to S.C., it was too much!!!

Now for the BIG news! Amanda and Dusty are going to have a BABY!!! I can't believe it, everyone is so excited!!! She is due February 5, 2009! Please pray everything goes well!

Just Awful...

Brian is having knee surgery today and I had to just drop him off and leave him by himself. I feel terrible, but I had no choice but to come back to work.... So I am just waiting on a call from the Doc letting me know how if went and then a call from the nurse for him to be picked up. A friend of ours is gonna pick him up for me. I am a bad wife!
He hurt his knee from playing basketball for four hours every day, not sure if he is trying out for the NBA soon or what, but the boy loves basketball! He will be on crutches for a week and then have physical therapy, not sure how long for that. Anyway pray that everything goes well and that he doesn't have fits from not playing basketball!!!

The Magical World of Disney...

What a great time we had this past weekend. You just gotta love Disneyworld! We got down there Friday evening and stayed at the Fort Wilderness campground which by the way is very very nice! We stayed in the motor home with the Fullers. We got up Sat. morning and went to Blizzard Beach. Shannon and I took the kids around while Brian, Stacey and Dalton rode the big kid slides. Then we did a few of the slides the kids could go on, we all had a blast. Later that night we headed to the Magic Kingdom for Mickey's Pirates and Princess Party, it was from 7-12am. The weather was perfect and hardly anyone there, by that I mean that the guys rode Space Mountain 5 times in a row in 45 min. Now most of you know that you are lucky if the wait for Space Mountain is only 45 min. Of course Shannon, me and Mrs. Fuller took the kids around to meet the characters. McKinley was so darn cute. She was so excited to meet everyone, the other two could take it or leave it, except when Jarred got a little smooch from Jasmine! Kinley was the most excited about Peter Pan! She told him how much she loved him and Captain Hook... It is funny how none of them ever break character!!! Finally Shannon and I got to ride a few adult rides before we left after midnight!!! We all slept great that night! We got up the next morning and did a little shopping at Downtown Disney and headed home. It certainly was a packed weekend but it was Great!
