Ohio trip was great other than the fact that it rained at some point every day that we were there. I of course packed us clothes that were for spring......ohio is more winter like. My girls had a great time and enjoyed being able to see their favorite people.

You Could Be

Having A Day Like Paz's

The Lord Giveth.....

.....And The Lord Make You Packeth.
Getting ready for another trip up to Ohio and the girls and I are definately looking forward to it. Packing everything is becoming a greater challenge as my kids get bigger, so do their clothes. The below pile doesn't even include Ris's things. I have studied "packing tips" lists so severely that I have them memorized, and yet I still find myself just wishing to buy clothes when we get there.

AKA...theme song

I'm Still Here

I promise. I have been sooooooo busy. So sorry to all my bloggers. I have been trying to get clothes and all that none-such sorted for my friends thrift store, not tooo mention sorting through Dan's things that he has stashed in my storage room. WWooooooow. Got tired just thinking about it. But spring is coming. Spring has been showing up in a warm manner, but still leaving it with those brisk nights. I have been having lots of fun lately. The 6th was my birthday as you know and I just so happened to go out to a place called cotton eyed joes and had my self a drink (couple drinks, ssshhhh) and had a blast. It is one of those places where you are going to see people line dancing at least one time during the night, but the people are southern and polite even after a couple rounds. Was watching the girls play outside yesterday and couldn't help but think about I grateful I am to myself for deciding to grow up and stick with the higher road. I wish I could just give the world a hug......i think thats out of a song.....but true. I am soooo blessed right now. And with me getting things ready for a short vacation to ohio, i am even more grateful. Thank you god for what i have. oh, and thanks ahead of time for what i have in store.

When Living in Fast Forward...

....Don't Forget Your Helmet.

Thanks to everyone that has been wishing us well and calling to see how I am doing. Dan has been really great the last couple days, including with bringing me IHOP. Things may not always work out the way we want them too, but when you actually have time to think about things rationally you can see how things are working out in their own way.

Why Not Stay Outside Longer........



And Build This

Just so you have an idea of it's size.
Suddenly our neighbors are paying alot of attention to our front yard.
