Remember me?

Hello friends!

I think that this has to the longest span that I have gone without blogging. Needless to say, I have been a busy lady. Since I was with you good folks last I have done quite a mess of things! Firstly I am the proud mom to two upcoming second graders! I can remember second grade! Now tell me how I have two second graders???? Time flies people, time flies.

Nathan and I took a break from Murfreesboro and headed west. We took the rather long but easy drive to Ft. Worth Texas. We have some wonderful people in the Ft. Worth area that were really excited to meet me. Nathan and I had such a blast, met some really wonderful friends and made connections that will be everlasting. I had forgotten how flat and vegetation free Texas is...but Texas is such a wonderful place. Now I have ALOT of reasons to head back. Thanks for making us feel especially "at home" and welcome!

While we were on vacation we got a call from our alarm system. We had a motion detector go off. We thought for sure nothing had happened! I mean really! The police came by, did a canvas and did not notice that our house had been broken into. Yep that is correct, no need to adjust your sets, this is the third time the house has been broken into. This time nothing was stolen, but with some of the new things that we have done to the house and purchases that have been made, it will be the LAST time that they can enter without incident. Our home is Ft. Knox!

While we were gone, we were met with our own little family tragedy. RubyJack, my mom's Great Pyrenees died. This is such a loss for all of us but most especially my mom whom loved that silly girl! But we know that RubyJack is up in doggy heaven with Grandaddy so we are comforted with that notion.

Ethan and John are spending the week at Cub Scout day camp. They are having such a wonderful time. They come home each day tired, smelly and talking 90 miles a minute about all the cool things they did that day. Ethan even caught 2 fish!

We have vacation quickly approaching! We are headed with Nathan's family to Hilton Head Island. We have rented a HUGE house and will have 6 kids with us. Our kids are the oldest! We have done this vacation before and we have such a blast with everyone. The house that we have is amazing. We are so looking forward to the surf, sand and family fellowship!
