I'M BACK, I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to all the 5 people who read this blog. We got home on Monday and had house guests come in yesterday. So~we have been busy unpacking and stuff.

We dropped Trevor off for camp on Monday after spending the night with my Nanny.

About vacation, WE HAD A BLAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We loved every minute of it!!!!!!!!!!!! The trip down went well, the camping was great, the parks were fabulous, the trip back was tedious but okay. We are glad to be home, but it was an AWESOME vacation.

The girls travel well and they rode tons of rides. I was a little worried about taking a teenager and two little girls. Will they have fun together? Will they be able to do some of the same things? I shouldn't have worried!!! We were able to ride almost everything together and the things that Abby couldn't ride(two or three at the most) we just took turns.

I am glad we took so many days to do all the things we wanted to do. I have lots to tell but I will have to post an entry later. I will leave you with a couple of pictures from our great vacation!!!

MY PERSONAL TRAGEDY WILL NOT AFFECT MY ABILITY TO DO GOOD HAIR!!!!

I finally did it!!!! I donated my hair to locks of love!!! 8 inches!!!!!
I absolutely love my new cut!! It is so light and summery!!
Mike loves it and that makes me love it all the more!! As you can tell I am hyped up because I got my hair cut AND we are going on vacation!!! That is why I am using EXPLANATION MARKS!!!! WOOO-HOOOO!!!

AND SO YOU HAVE IT FOLKS.....

Abby, Pawpaw, Granny, and Shelby at Calhouns.

The King and The Boss!!!

IT WAS GOOD WHILE IT LASTED

Well, the visit is over. They left this afternoon about 4:15. We had a good time and they said that they will be coming back in September or October~and stay longer. The girls loved the RV and Shelby stayed both nights in it with Granny and Pawpaw. Abby wanted to sleep with her Mama.

They brought two plastic storage boxes full of cassette tapes that were Big Mama's. They thought Mike would like to have them. Oh boy, he wanted them. We went through them and there were some that I am sure you can't get anymore, not even on CD.

There were lots of country and gospel, some Christmas and Big Band. Then there were some that were old sermons from our church in Virginia. They took us back!! There was one of Trevor doing a solo and a few of Mike singing solos. I am glad they brought them!

6 more days til we leave for our vacation. We can't believe it!!!

On a totally different note, I am reading Jane Eyre again. I have not read it since High School. I have enjoyed it. I like the fact that I don't remember everything about it. It is like reading it for the first time in a way.

Changing directions again, I have a hair appointment on Tuesday that I am looking forward too!! I really, really need a hair cut!!!

I will post some pictures in a day or so of the visit.

IN-LAW ALERT!!!!!

My in-laws will be here in the next hour. They were supposed to be here on Monday but they had problems with their RV. We thought they may not get to come at all, but they were able to leave yesterday and they will be here in an hour.

We are excited about seeing them. This will be their first trip out here since we moved here. We are going to take them sightseeing and show them around our world. They are going to love all the places around here to eat.

TO ALL MY FELLOW BLOGGY MOMS!!!

I just wanted to wish all my bloggy friends out there a HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

I am getting ready for my in-laws and trying not to stress!! (see previous post:~)

I just had to blog about my lovely MOPS group! Today was my last day as a MOP unless the Lord sees fit to give me another preschooler (newborn first, please:~) So, my friends gave me a going away gift~~here's where it gets good!!! It is this swell tote with my initials embroidered on the front!

Now, let me tell you that I almost bought a bag just like this the other day minus the initials!! I wanted to take it on vacation to take towels and stuff to the pool and though I really, really wanted it I refrained because I knew we needed to save money for the trip!!!! AWESOME!!!!! Thank you, Lord, for caring about the desires of my heart!!!
