Time Flies When Your Having Fun!!

Boy it has been busy, busy!! I have been putting in alot of hours at work this. We have started a new computer data system. Which instead of creating less work it is creating more. Lets just say its not very user friendly. Football season is upon us. Keanul's first scrimmage game is tonight. He will be playing for the JV team this year. Let hope the team does well this season. This Sunday we will be signing Roz up for basketball. Lets hope that practice and game time are at convenient times for Rick or I to be able to take her. School is just around the corner. Which is hard to believe, and also sad to know that the kids are getting up there in grades. Keanul will be a sophmore in high school. Rozalynn will be attending a new school this year. 4th grade. yikes! With the new school season comes a new dance season. Which I will be working agian this year at the dance studio. Can we say busy!

Clarity!!

There is nothing like waking up in the morning with a clear vision. Today I woke feeling refreshed and happy to be here. I started my morning with my morning cup of coffee, and sat out on our deck listening to the birds chirping away. The morning was beautiful with a small amount of dew on the lawn that shimmered.

We have a small bird feeder in the back yard that I just love. We have different birds that come and visit through out the day. There is a momma and daddy cardinal that visits quit often. As one eats the other watches over. Today the daddy came over to the momma, and gently kiss her on her beak. It was so loving and affectionate. It just goes to show that we are all Gods creatures.

Present Time

It's crazy how the mind wanders from you. To live in the present is very hard to do. I find myself thinking of everything, but also nothing at the same time. I can be thinking of yesterday events, and then come back to today's within seconds.
The mind and the brain is an excellent machine.
God has created us well. Hasn't he.

Party!!!

Well Rozalynn Birthday was last Friday. Here is a picture of the group of girls that came and helped us celebrate her birthday. We all had lots of fun. We started by eatting than we went to the pool in Ft. Atkinson. Then all the girls came back and had the birthday cookie. Yup! birthday cookie. Roz didn't want cake this year. So I found a big birthday cookie. Yummy!! The sleep over went well and all the girls were good! What fun.

Celebration!!!

Well Rozalynn's 9th birthday is on Friday, but we celebrated a little early. We have alot of birthday feastivities going on. Some of our family is going camping. Rhonda through a beautiful party for all the girls in the family. Well the ones that lived close. Some of our girls live in other states. Thank you so much Rhonda for hosting a wonderful party. Roz wanted to put on her fairy costume on when we got home. Not much else has been going on. So I will have to write more another time.

New House!!

For all that don't know we moved!! Rick and I purchased our first home at the end of May. I started painting right after we closed on the house. Than we started moving in everything the next day! We had a great crew of friends and family that helped us. Thank you to all of them. We are pretty much settled in and it's feeling like home. I am sorry that I haven't posted any pictures yet. Since we moved I haven't located my camera yet. It's around somewhere. And I haven't found my cord to my phone that hooks to the computer. They are some where together. So when I hunt those down I will posted some pictures.

Rick and I have been busy. Sorry I haven't posted anything lately. Moving, graduations, and working has been keeping us busy!

I want to say congratulations to our graduates this year....

Our Nephew Jarad,

Our Niece Kristine,

and Our Cousin Nate.

WAY TO GO!! WE ARE SO PROUD OF ALL OF YOU!!

Approved!!!

Rick and I found out last night that we were approved for our home loan! We are very excited.
Next week we will find out if the assessment went okay. So if everything goes according to plan we should be closing on May 29th. Rick and I will be first time home buyers! So that means at of boxes... That part I'm not so excited for.

Last night was great! We are graduates of the First Citizen's Academy. I made it though my speech without fainting, jumbling over my words, or spitting all over the place. Which is good. By the time it was done I was starving. I didn't eat anything because of my nerves. Listening to everyone speeches and stories of the last 8 weeks was great. I would encourage anyone to do this. It truly was an awesome experience. So if they offer it in your community definitely sign up for it. You won't reget it. It's a lot of fun!
