October.....A Busy Month!!!!!





Ok, this has been a very busy month!!!!  A month of stress.....A month of thankfulness....A month of laughter....A month of reflection.....A month of celebration....A month of change!!!!


Stress and Thankfulness.....


Last week my mom fell in the middle of the night....yes, she did get hurt, but it could have been a lot worst!  She now has a great story to tell about her leap out of bed in the middle of the night, the face plant she did and how she landed up in her closet.  Well we had a good laugh about it, despite the aches and pains and the wounds on her face.  Putting all of the humor aside, I can't help but think about how serious it could have been!  When I went to her house in the afternoon to take her to get checked I had to hold back the tears and all I could do is hug her.  It made me so sad to see her that way.  I am so grateful to Jehovah that she is ok and that she didn't hurt herself seriously. My mom is a tough cookie! And as everyone knows my mom is my best friend.  I am so thankful to have her. 






Reflection....


This month marks our 35th wedding anniversary!!!! And we still love each other!
I know that because....despite all of our mood changes, medications, aches and pains, annoying habits, man-o-pause and menopause....we haven't killed each other yet!  And we actually still look forward to spending our quiet time together.


Celebration.....


We had a beautiful anniversary this year....I'm a happy woman!


Both my boys remembered us and called us to wish us a happy anniversary.  Kamron also sent us a beautiful card with hand pressed flowers on it. 


We spent a beautiful evening with Keith & Cindy Smith and Eddie & Felicia stuffing our faces at Ravioli's for dinner....And  before that, we had a romantic cocktail hour with hordourves and martini's in Keith and Cindy's backyard, amongst their huge fruitless mulberry tree, the twinkle lights and the pond.






And then to top it off...Hiram & Liz surprised us with two nights at Lawrence Welk Resort.  We had such a relaxing two days spending quality time with one another.....Kim and I are so grateful for having such loving and wonderful family and friends.  We thank all of you for making our anniversary a very special one.  We love you all!


And last but not least...Change.....


This has been a month for change! 
I FINALLY CUT MY HAIR!!!
Yes, for all of you who didn't think I would do it.....well I did!!!


And I love the change!  I don't miss my long hair at all!!!! 
And for all of you who haven't seen it yet....I guess you'll have to wait until the circuit assembly or until you run into me somewhere in town.  


Oh, but you might walk right past me as everybody else has done!  No one recognizes me!!!  :)  I Love It!!!


See you soon........
