Happy Early Birthday John

Tonight my sister and her family came over for a couple reasons. 1.To eat dinner and spend sometime with us before we leave(this week) and 2.To celebrate Johns 57th Birthday( not sure if I am allowed to say his age.. o well)Grandma made Taco Salad ( hers is the best)and baked a birthday cake for him.. We had such a good time.. my dad came over so that was nice to.. We all just had so much fun.. Kinda bitter sweet ya know.. but gotta do what a person hasta do.. I sure will miss this crazy bunch :) My husband got the car fixed today.. YEAAA.. he is so smart.. He never ceases to amaze me with his creativity.. and with that he saved us 300 bucks.. SHEWWWW. ( not going to tell what he did because he might do it as a business)lol.. than we waxed the car real good and got it all shining and stuff.. now that is taken care of all we gotta do is get 2 more tires for the front and we are ready to hit the road jack.. lol.. Still have alot to do but no worries.. we will get it done :):) Well it is late and I am going to hit the sack so we can get an early start in the AM.... I want to GET ON THE ROAD again.. WHOO HOOO..rofl.. Have a good night everyone :):)

Good day

Today was a good day. HAd a good service this morning.. no preaching but just a sweet sense of the Spirit was so near. This morning was hard for me.. I was sitting there and this big o lump hit my throat and I got "emotional" for a moment over the thought.. I will miss everyone so much... What helps is knowing..rofl "D&T" YOU WONT BE FAR BEHIND..lol.. So after church went to dinner over @ Shmoozies( a nick name by Chifone gurl for her) rofl.. was really good.. had a lovely visit untill of course one of my kids hasta go and hurt themselves on somthing to keep things interesting..rofl.. so came home took a nap and didnt make it for tonights service... I hope we stay to least thursday so I can say another "goodby" to everyone....LOL.. and DW I don't think we are stopping in Joplin..rofl.. So anyway.. today was a good day.. oh and BTW.. "chifone" I really think your being led to the EAST as well.. so stop fighting it and just JOIN those who got ur back..rofl..

Yes it is true

Yes the rumors are true....lol.. We are heading back to the "east/south" We have been in AZ for 9 months now and have accomplished much ( and lots that could still be done) It is time for us to get back to "our"life.. We have started saying our *c-ya's ( I am not good at those) Started with my best friend and her kids yesterday.. and have many to go.. soooooo.... When we left MO we left all our things in storage(3 to be exact) so we will be moving backwards I guess.rofl.. .. Before we look for a house in MO we are going to drive down to Corydon Indiana as well. Steve's family lives there and there are a few opportunities there as well. I do not remember much about corydon as last time I was there was just for a few days for a family reunion. Steve has always wanted to move there.. just never worked out that way untill now. So hey what the heck .. I'm game.. never have lived in Indiana.. never really wanted to..lol. but corydon is down south so its not so "weird" as northern Indiana is I guess. NOt that there is anything wrong with that.. just each to their own.. Anyway.. we are heading out next week sometime to head that way... Hope to see all the family in NM when we stop there to see his parents on the way back.. We are going to miss everyone.. family and friends alike.. I dont feel so sad as our pastor is leaving this summer anyway( and will not be far so we can still visit).. hehehe *Hint Hint* a few others should follow the lead...lol.. ANYWAY.. so I told them they could not be the ones to go first we had to keep our reputation up ya know.. rofl.. I feel very emotional about this goodby to our church family.. but thank goodness most of you are up with the times of this blog world.. hehehe need to work on a few of ya... *hmmmm* at any rate I am very much looking forward to getting back *home* and our stuff..lol.. home is where the heart is and I deff left my heart in storage in MO..lol.. ANYWAYYYYY....

Tonight is quiet for us.. the girls are spending the night at the williams residence..lol.. ( dan is a brave soul.. 5 chicks in one house) lol bunch of gigling girls.. hehe.. Steve took me to dinner.. had a fun date over a Pizza.. I love my man :) rofl ok so now that I am getting the hang of this *letting go* thing we are going to up and leave it eh tammy??? rofl Guess I will hafta re-think this *half way* thing.. rofl.. I will leave my sappy mushy goodby post to you guys(dan & tammy) later...lol.

Ok so enough ramblings for tonight... Hope everyone has a blessed Lords Day tomorrow.. I am excited to get back to church.. been out sick for wayyy to long...

Kelsey shares a very special birthday with a very special Great Great Aunt. My grandma's sister who lives in Ohio and her share the same birthday so that is always special every year. Aunt Mabel was here the year she was born so they make sure to talk on THEIR birthdays... She was happy she got everything she wanted and some for her birthday. GOt to go shopping and that always makes for a happy birthday girl :) Now she says her life will be complete to stay the night with her BFF Angela Williams... OOO boy RUN DAN RUNNN...rofl..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KELSEY

The big 10..... WOW I can not believe my lil Kelsey is the big 10 in a mater of a half an hour.. I guess I will be one of those mothers who always remembers THE DAY but special with her I can not help but get extra sappy... She is such a miracle baby in every way and it was 10 years ago her and I both almost didnt make it and almost went to heaven to be with Jesus. I am so thankful for her and her life. She is turning into such a young lady and has a heart so tender for Jesus. She is so full of life NEVER a dull moment with her. She has so much talent and just brings us so much joy. I am so blessed that GOD chose ME to be her mama!!!!! Kelsey I LOVE YOU very much.. Daddy and I are so grateful for you. Hope you have a good day.... LETS PARTAYYYYYYY!!!! YEAAAAAAA...lol.. ( will be posting pics of her later on in the day with her cake)So this means another day of girls out shopping :)
