Fun Weekend

Well it was a fun weekend after Thanksgiving. It started out with a red-eye power shop, followed by Glenn & Blane visiting before going back to Texas. Elijah ended up spending some time at his Grandpa S's house. I was able to reorganize some of his toys! Also got to spend some time with Kevin and I took him to his first trip to Ikea. Very entertaining! Then the depression set in that the time off was over.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Big Decision

I went to the doctor with my dad yesterday, and again the options are not good. His AAA cannot be left alone - the test showed it was bigger than they originally expected. One procedure is relatively easy, but there are long term challenges. The other procedure will fix the problem, but the procedure is very difficult and could be life threatening. It has to be his decision, but unlike other things that have come up over the years, this one does not seem like either choice doesn't come without consequences. Please say a prayer for him.

Happy Birthday Rachel!

Happy Birthday to Gary's niece Rachel. I remember her being born just before Thanksgiving and her mom coming home to cook us dinner! Time flies . . . way too fast! Best wishes!

Kentucky Y'all

I just got home from a trip to Kentucky for work. I was down for two days. Yesterday I spent most of the day in Louisville visiting customers. Today I got to try out the spa at our hotel . . . very nice by the way. Also got to catch up with some friends. Good trip for a short amount of time.

If you are ever in Lexington, check out the spa!

Mini Family Reunion

Gary's two brothers came in from Houston today. We had a nice lunch with them as well as Gary's mom and sister. It was nice to hang out with everyone. They are headed up North to hunt, but we will seem them again before they go.

The Artist

Elijah has become quite and artist since starting school. Today he brought home a certificate for great coloring. I could have an artist on my hands. I guess I'll have to wait and see.

Tomorrow night is parent teacher conferences. I'm curious to see how that goes.

Whata Weekend

This was quite a weekend. I got to spend some time with my dear friend Kevin, in addition to the usual -- swim class and painting. We also had some excitement with an tooth emergency (my mom), as well as sneaking in a haircut. Another room is complete - the half-bath. It is coming together, but still much to be done.

I ask that you say a few prayers for family and loved ones. My dad has an aneurysm. He goes for a test tomorrow. It is pretty serious, but according to the doctors, treatable. It is going to be an interesting few weeks leading up to the holidays.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to my aunt whom I affectionately call Aunts! I hope your day was great! I love you!

Paint Mania

Last night and today we tackled the kitchen. It is 3/4 done and looks great. It is so nice to have some color in the house. I also experimented with some color in my bathroom. I did a couple of sections to determine if I like it. Let's just say I haven't decided yet. Still have the half bath to paint, and I would like to paint my bedroom in addition to the spare room. I guess the next few weekend will be full of paint brushes!

All Souls Day

Today is All Souls Day - the day to remember those who are no longer with us. I've been thinking about Gary a lot lately. The satellite radio seems to play a lot of Howard Jones -- or it could be him sending me a message!
