Help....I've lost August

Only one more week until August is over, I'm not sure how that happened. Overall we've had a good summer with lots of yard projects. We still have to finish the rest of our retaining wall and stain the back deck before the weather changes. We were able to camp only twice, I wish we could have gone more!! Went up North to Mom and Dad's only once but will be going again over Labor Day. We also enjoy when we are able to spend a day with the Etzlers at the Lake!!!
To end our summer we are heading out of town this morning for Chicago. Tom has business during the day so the kids and I will goof off during the day and then we'll plan some family activities for the evening. Its should be a fun time.
I can't believe that school will start in one week. Makenna will be a sophomore and Kevin will start kindergarten and of course, Matthew will still be in Daycare. Our school supply shopping is done just have to get everything ready for the big day!!
My favorite season is coming up, I love Fall!! I love to be outside with the sun on my face and a cool breeze in the air. I love to watch the trees change color, fall colors are my favorite. Fall is the start of the count down to my favorite Holiday, Thanksgiving. My Grandmother use to say that she loved Thanksgiving because it was just like Christmas without the presents!!
So, while August and the end of summer is coming quickly, I'm looking forward to the next season with my family!!

9 Years Down.....90 to go!!!

Yesterday Thomas and I celebrated 9 years of marriage and as I think back about the wild ride we've been on, I want to thank God for the man he has placed in my life. We've had good times and bad time but the good far out ways the bad. We've had sickness and health and have witnessed God's healing power. We have watched Makenna Jo turn into a beautiful young lady and have lived to tell about it. We made the two most handsome little boys with the help from God, they were worth every heartache and fertility drug that we had to try. We've traveled through out Europe and made some of the most beautiful memories. I love to work and play along side my husband, I can't imagine him not being there right next to me. I still love to cuddle up next to him on the couch and share a pizza (only 1 piece now)right out of the box. Thomas has given a life that I could only dream of, so thank you Thomas for making my dreams a reality. ILYMTYEK!!!!!
