Katie and I are leaving this evening for FC. She is excited but scared too. Please pray for our safe journey and her semester away from home. I will help her get set up and then fly back to CA on Monday. Rich and I will miss her so much but know she will have a wonderful time as she starts a new chapter in her life. We love her so much. May God be with her always.
How fun for Katie! And for you and Rich!! An empty nest! Woo-hoo. Well...that's how I felt when I had no more kids at home. I missed them but was glad to see them out on there own and enjoyed my time with just Jon.
Oh, poor you. I was so sad when Hailey went. Sylvia and I took Hailey and Abbey together. It was a fun trip, but sad when things change at home. We lose Chelsie in a couple of weeks. She will only be an hour away, but still sad. Rich and I have been on our own a lot lately anyway. We are getting reacquainted and that is fun!! Have a good trip and God speed.
I have a few more years before my baby leaves - I know she'll have lots of fun. Do you have projects to keep you busy?
Happy New Year to you and your family!
I'm sure she will have a great time. Tell her to get acquainted with my family. Luke is there...and of course Doy. And tell her to enjoy the warm weather.
Hey...I hear that you will be spending the Christmas holiday with your folks (RJ & Pauline). Have a wonderful time. We will have Jim's mom with us for the first time in about 10 yrs I think (Jim's dad passed away in Sept). Also 3 of my 4 kids will be here for Christmas too plus daughter Laura's fiance Ross. My son Trevor & his wife are came in yesterday and will be with us for a week so I'm already loving every minute of it!!!
My nephew is going to Las Vegas in January for a business trip. Do you have any suggestions for things he can do while there? He will worship at the North Vegas C of C.
Now, am I crazy...why am I connecting you with Las Vegas????
Hi Paula! Hope you had a great visit with your folks! I wanted SO much to see them while they were here in Alabama but I just couldn't get to those meetings... Much love to ya!
Hey! I went back on some or your pages to see Steven and Heather's wedding photos. You can go to Hailey's and see some of hers. She just posted them tonight. I'm glad you were able to spend time with your family over the holidays. We have not had Christmas yet. We are going to OR to my brother's next week. Is Rich still working for IBM? I didn't know you were doing videography. That is so neat!! Take care!!
What a unique name. I'm sure Katie is thrilled. He looks like a cat that we used to have. They say the orange cats are the most friendliest and have the most personality.
Hurray for the Kitty...he's got a home & a family!!! And concrats to you too...we are both GREAT Aunts of Ryder Lee, Clara Lee, and now TESSA DAWN! YIPPEE!!!
Thankyou! Congrats on your kitty. I lost my two cats this year - two months apart, one was a kitten and one was almost 10. We had a huge problem with coyotes this year.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration. It's hard as the family gets smaller, but, we're going over to some brethren's house and there will be over 20 people!
What are your plans?
This week has been busy but not as stressful as last week. We had a bride & groom come view their wedding movie on Sunday, so we were scrambling to finish it. They loved it so that was good news. We still have two more weddings to edit and then we shoot another wedding next Saturday. That will then make three weddings to edit. Whew!! I've also been having trouble with my right hand. I went to the chiropractor yesterday and he adjusted my spine as well as my hand and arm. He said I definitely have "repetitive motion" issues in my right wrist. He wants to see me again next week. He gave me some exercises to stretch the muscles/tendons in the wrist. I think it is already a little better.
Katie found a kitten yesterday. She, of course, is super excited; however, we have told Katie she can't keep it. I know, we're so mean. No more animals!! One dog is enough. The kitty is awfully cute. I have not held him at all because I know it will be love at first sight. She takes him to the SPCA today. I'll need to prepare for the flowing of tears.
Hi Paula! Hope you're all doing well. Sorry to hear about your wrist though. Better stop slappin' Rich across the face. That can do a number on your wrist action! :)
oh come on...kitties are great at keeping the mice away. Well, at least where we live. We couldn't live without a cat on our property or we would be overrun by rodents.
We have 3 kitties...2 were from the Animal Shelter...in fact, our 3rd kitty is a new addition as of July. Named him Mr.Knightly cuz he's all black. He lets me cuddle him & kiss on him so I'm glad I have him especially with all the kids gone. They help de-stress you...hey, by petting the kitty you could exercise your muscles/tendons in your wrist. Could be good for you!
What? you didn't call Barry before you took it? We had to put down Mittens - she was 19 years old - and you might just have been able to twist his arm...
I'm home today and loving it!! Even though I'm doing finances, laundry and some errands, at least things are getting done, and that's makes me feel better. Don't get me wrong, I like my job as an Admin, but when things are not getting done at home, I feel very bad inside. I try to take seriously my God given responsibility of being a "keeper at home". God is so wise. He knew that us women feel better about ourselves when we take care of our family.
Have a wonderful week everyone!! Pray often and thank God for our many blessings.
