And so it goes....

Well.....I guess the time has come for me to accept that Sarah is spreading her wings....
She got her learner's permit on Tuesday. The whole family piled into the car yesterday as she went on her first excursion. The good news is that we took out no mailboxes or any other object around us. She actually did quite well, but you can tell she is nervous. I just don't think I am gonna do as well with her when she drives away without me or Todd in the car.
We have spent the first week of summer being complete lazy bums......sleeping in and just doing basically nothing during the day. I really have to kick myself to get moving. I know we should be enjoying it, but my to do list is too long to be doing this. I did finally decide what color I am going to paint my cupboards in my kitchen....I will post pictures when it is done. I will leave it a surprise until then. Hopefully this week, I will get more done. I will need to start thinking about packing for our trip to my dad's starting late next week. The key is trying to get my two girls to understand they can't bring everything they own. The airlines are charging per bag now, so we are going to have to really limit it. I am excited about this trip because like our trip we took with Todd's family last summer, we are going to have our whole family together next weekend. Both my sisters will be there so we will all get to be together which NEVER happens. I can't wait to see them! Hopefully Todd will get to fish some too....something he hasn't done since last summer as well.
Well, pray for us as Sarah embarks on this new journey......
Have a great week.

Week events

We have had a busy week here. This past weekend was the culmination of it all. This past Friday, Bailey had her Honors Program. She was on Honor Roll all four quarters for the year! She was so excited to get her trophy. She worked hard all year to get it and we are so proud of her! After her program, I checked her out of school so we could hurry up and drive to Albany to pick up her gramma at the airport. We then took her out eat at her favorite restaurant, Mellow Mushroom.

Saturday we all got up very early and drove to Jacksonville, Alabama to see Sarah perform in her concert for the Jacksonville State University Honor Band. She did an excellent job in her performance. Sarah was placed in 5th chair out of 13 flute players in her particular band. That is two better than she was in last year. She had a great time but was thoroughly exhausted when she got home.

Sunday, Mother's Day, started off with our trip to church. Todd was able to attend church with us before he headed to work for one of his busiest days of the entire year. My mother in law and I just spent the day hanging out on the front porch enjoying the beautiful weather. We headed to Longhorn around 5 to have dinner. Todd was able to join us for dinner which was a nice treat as usually, Mother's Day is one of those days that I never see my husband.

Yesterday was the preschool graduation. It went very well and now I only have two days of work left before I retire......LOL Todd brought me home a lounge chair for the back deck so I can sit and read as my retirement gift. I can tell you, I am gonna take advantage of that starting on Monday!!!

Well I think that catches you all up on our happenings. I hope all is well with everyone.

Hugs!
