Spring is HERE!

This has been one of the worst winters we have had in years, 25 inches of snow, (not at one time thankfully) and the temps stayed cold all winter.

Amber lost a good friend and classmate the Sunday after Christmas, Quinton Lowe died from complications of a tractor accident. He was such a sweet special guy. Him and Amber went together in the 8th grade and he took her to the 8th grade prom and danced with her at Star Search. He always had a smile and a great sense of humor. A true Farm Boy and country as can be. We all love and miss him so much! This was so heart breaking, on his family and the community. When Amber and her friends went in to say good bye to him she told him to tell her daddy hi, that truely broke my heart.

We are 3 months into 2010 and the Spring race is over, yeah! Easter is this Sunday and spring break next week. Warm weather is on the way. I started taking 3 classes online this semester one more month to go. So far it hasnt been to bad, making pretty good grades. Dont know how many i will take this summer. Went walking tonight, walked about 3 miles, it is finally warming up enough to get outside.

Amber is going to pick up her prom dress this week, it is purple with sequin detail, it looks so good on her! Chase asked her to the prom a few days ago and I think she is looking forward to everything. She likes getting all dressed up and doing all the girly things. She is a beautiful girl inside and out. I love my kids so much!

Time

Never have enough time to do everything that i want to do, I know most people feel this way even when they don't work or retire. I have several books that I want to read, tons of photos to scrapbook, and a messy house to organize. Several boxes of stuff to list on ebay. ETC..........
But I have to take a deep breath and realize that this is life and you can't always plan everything, you just have to roll with the punches and take what comes your way, realize that you can't control everything and you do your best.
I am thankful for two wonderful kids that are Christians, go to Church 3 to 4 times a week. It is a blessing to watch them grow and mature into adults and see their relationship with God grow. They went to the Church that I grew up in last Sunday and got up and sang in front of everybody. They did a wonderful job, I am very proud.

I have been working on my Scrapbooks at least 3 to 4 nights a week so I am getting some things done. It is starting to feel like fall now, got down into the 40's last night. I love fall and all the pretty colors.

Mid July 2009

Well I have had my surgery and am laying aroung alot. Dr. Laing performed the surgery on July 7th at Sycamore schoals. I came home two days after. It feels similar to my C-sections but I don't have a baby. I did loose about 7 lbs, hopefully there will be even more weight lost once im back to my normal life and can be more active. I feel like im still swolen and bloated. Me and Amber went driving today, we went to Kohls in kingsport and 5-guys burgers and fries in kingsport. She did really well just needs to learn her way around. We stopped at movie starz and bought some movies to watch. Zack Harrison came over to play video games with Hunter we havent seen him in about 8 yrs., he went to youth group with hunter and amber. Hunter went bowling with Clinton and his other friends.

Vertigo............

Well yesterday I woke up dizzy, havent felt good since we went to the cheerleading comp. in I went to urgent care and he said i had a viral inf of the ear causing the dizziness. Gave me to prescriptions. Didnt go in until 12 today and worked till 4.

We found Amber a car it is what she has been looking for, 2002 Honda accord with a sunroof. We will get to bring it home sometime this week.

Long time no blog updates!

Well we are now into the new year 2009! I have been off 2 weeks (except for one day I worked) while the kids were out of school. Got alot of rest did the usual holiday things, Scrapbooked and read some. We had a good Christmas, both kids got new cell phones and I accidently did too!
Kids went back to school on Monday, new semester, Hunter's is taking two AP courses which look like they will be hard. Amber has all hard classes this semester too.

Of course with a new year I have the same resolution to lose weight and get in shape. But its really more that I want a lifestyle change as far as my eating and exercise habits go. I know that I can lose but keeping it off is the trick. The biggest part of my problem is my schedule, especially during basketball season. We have two nights a week that we have 2 games and Amber has tumbling two nights and Church is two nights. But I know it can be done with the right planning and frame of mind

I need some energy!

Today was a rainy day, worked till 3:15, went to Pals and got a sauceburger w/cheese, fries and tea. Me and Amber went to Wal-Mart, I talked to my cousin Debbie who works in the photo lab. I had to get a Color ink cartridge for my printer. I got a new haircut yesterday and blonded, I like it but my color may be to light. Spending to much time on the computer tonight so I didnt get anything done. Burned a cd of Beach pictures for Janet and Shelly. Need to go get ready for bed.

Most wonderful time of the year!

Why is that? The Sharpie 500 is over with and all the campers are leaving! I had to work 6 days last week. over 50 hours, it wasnt too bad but I got absolutely nothing done at home so I will be playing catch up all week, laundry keeps pileing up and piles of mail to go through. This week is our first Varsity Football game, two more weeks till jv starts. My garage door opener quit working last week I have a leak in the pipes water is leaking in the garage. I don't like all the extra expenses involved with home repairs. Not in my budget at all.

I havent posted on here since June. We had a pretty good summer, went to the beach in June, I will be adding some new photos. Hunter got a job a Chick fila and worked up until this past Sat., he is just too busy to work, go to school, study and do band. This is his senior Amber is a sophmore she is taking drivers ed, web page design, geometry and US history this semester.

Hunter went to Friday nights race, I got him tickets for $25.00 each from one of my campers. Amber went to the Sat. night race with Preston, she didnt get home until 2:00. We both took a nap today.

I am reading New moon by Stephenie Meyer, the second book in the Twilight series. I went to have a eye exam last month and it turns out i need glasses for reading and the computer.

I am hoping to be posting to my blog more often.
