Enjoying a little break.........

Well I got an A in my ethics class.....We are just trying to relax and get things ready for school in another week. The kids are doing great.
Kevin got certified in Linux and I am finally caught up at my job.
Tarah is all set for school and Johnny and Meghan are going to mother's day out this year. That means I will be able to do some homework on Wednesdays.
I am all set to get back to raquetball with Teresa. I had to quit because of an injury but I think it is finally healed enough.

Saturday morning we went to see the dam at the Lake Lewisville Area Wildlife reserve. We had a nice nature walk and got to see some cool stuff. Johnny is really wanting to go camping or fishing. I am not sure where the interest comes from. It might be because of Tarah teaching him to roast marshmellows.

I'll be back with some cute pics from the weekend.

Tarah gets ready for High School and I am done until Fall!

Tarah got her locker assignment and her schedule today. It is going to be a pretty tough year for her but I know she can do it. At least her locker is right next to her best friend.

I won't know until tomorrow what my final grade for Ethics and Law is but I am hoping for an A. I had an A before the final but that was a crazy hard class! It was fun and I learned a lot but my brain hurts!

We are dealing with our grief for our friend as a community. It is good that we can share our feelings with each other. The support of our church and school makes living in a small town a little easier. I am trying to think of something to do as a gesture of support for the Goodner family. Maybe raising money to put something in the prayer garden in memory of Sarah. Or something for the school band.

I will be back tomorrow....just wanted to let everyone know we are OK.

just a few thoughts.....

One of my friends buried her teenage daughter, Sarah, today. When most parents would be curseing God and hating Life these parents embraced God's plan and were thankful for every day they were given with Sarah. She was a beautiful girl full of life and love and I am glad that I can believe in a universe where she is in a better place, a place of joy and love. It was such a powerful service and I am grateful to have known her and I love her family immensely.

God is Good....all the time.

Just in case of something......I want everyone to know if I die, at my funeral, I want the songs : Just as I am - my southern baptist being saved hymn, the Jesus, Jesus, can I tell you how I feel, you have given me your spirit, I love you so...... song from "candlelight at the Emmaus walk"(ask John or Linda Johnson or John or Janet Gowling) this is my most, very favorite and important song!!!!! I also love "tell me who I am" Alex's song, If they did the CS4C dance it would be perfect. And last but not least "I can only Imagine" the song already kills me form Pop's funeral and the words are some of my favorite.

A great weekend in Amarillo!

We took some pictures of the Cadillac Ranch with the Kids.We also took Johnny and Meghan to see the Cowboy at the cafe my Granny used to work at.
I have the most beautiful daughter in the world !!! I am so proud of Tarah. She is 100 times more beautiful on the inside than she is on the outside. (and she is gorgeous on the outside!)
Grandma Mary, Aunt Stephanie and Tarah at the wedding. I loved seeing so many of my favorite people at one time.
Tarah convinced Johnny to take a ride on Grandma's tractor! It was a miracle! The kids did a great job of helping out by putting shingles on a roof for her. They loved learning how to work the land with the tractor!
