Signed, Sealed, Delivered !

-

Not quite like the popular song, but National Boards is sealed and delivered!  I finished and packed it on Friday, March 27th with the help of my wonderful mom!  I couldn't have completed this entire process without her!  She has been so wonderful!  Thanks MOM!  

Wednesday - March 25th, Justin and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary!  He gave me a planter with Gerber daises (my favorite)!  He is so thoughtful.  Since, I was completely bogged with National Boards, we didn't go out or anything.  But when I finished packing it on Friday at 6:30pm, we threw some clothes in a bag and went to Memphis.  We mailed "the box" on Saturday morning and I thought I was going to be sick.  When you actually understand the worth of the box (extra $6000 a year) it will make you sick to think about not passing!  We went to eat at Rendezvous in Downtown for lunch!  (It was great, as usual)

This week has been fast and furious as well.  In my class at school, we have started our FLUGTAG study and are starting to build.  Ours is a small scale competition, but it will be a blast!  We are inviting everyone this year, not just parents!  It is on Saturday, May 9 at North Pontotoc (Times aren't definite yet) and it only costs $1 to watch!  It is awesome!   Anyway, that is what is going on at school.

Justin and I have been working in the yard a little this week and plan to do some more work next week.  Our lawn mower is in the shop, so for anyone who loves to mow - Our yard is going to need cows soon.  We are also working on some painting in our bathroom.  You know our lives just aren't any fun without two or three things going on at once! 

Yesterday, though, we did have time for some good John's Creek fun!  Justin's cousin, Nathan, wants to see how high/far he can fly a kite.  So, he put a kite on a 2100 foot roll of fishing twine and came to the field beside our house to fly it!  I have never seen a kite so HIGH!!  There were times when I lost it and couldn't see it!  The birds were flying BELOW the kite!  It was so awesome.  I tried to get a picture of it, but it was too bright outside for me to see to take  a picture.  The kite went across the road and over a few houses!  It finally took a nose dive into some trees.  (Meg, this is the fun stuff you can do in Winfield!)

Anyway, its almost church time!  Hope everyone has  a great Sunday and listens to God's direction for your week!

I know you are so proud to have your boards sent off. I did the Take One Process last year, because my district made us, and it was terrible and that was only one entry. Congrats, I know you will be great. Get ready to spend your money!

Update and Welcome

I know that many of you are new to our blog, so welcome! Justin and I enjoy blogging about our lives, but I know that many of you have just joined us for surgery. So, please stay tuned for the rest of our lives as well! Justin is doing well. He has rested most of the day. He also sat up in a chair for an HOUR! He said his chest pain was fine, but he couldn't get his neck comfortable in that chair ( because he wanted to SLEEP!) He has been a great patient and has his normal humor. He also has comments that make little to no sense and probably won't remember most of this! Funny Comments from Justin today - Mrs. Anita was talking to Justin and finally said, "I think you're sleeping, so I'm going to leave you along. " to which Justin replied (With eyes closed) - "I can multitask!" Mom was cracking jokes by his bed and said, "I guess you don't think this is funny." And I said, "That's ok , right Justin, that is how we tal

Boston Bound

Well you will notice (assuming I get internet and get to post this blog) that it is in fact 12:17am.  If you know me at all, you know that I am not awake at this time by choice!  Also keep in mind that it is technically 1:17 where I am. Let me walk you through the day  . . . Mrs. Anita and Mr. Jimmy arrived in Ecru around 8am to pick us up.  The ride to the Memphis airport was quick and talkative.  We arrived at the airport around 9:30.   We unloaded all the bags at the curb and the men went to park the car.  Just trying to get a jump start on the day, I went to the ticket counter (where there was no line!) to see if I could get us checked in.  The man let me check all the bags and bumped us up to an earlier flight.  He was afraid that due to the weather, our 12:45 flight would be delayed.  When we got the gate we found out that the flight we were put on was also delayed.  The original flight was late getting to Charlotte, then flew to Memphis but could not land because of weather.

Welcome new readers

First, I would like to welcome our new blog readers to our lives online.  Because of Justin’s heart situation, we have some new readers to our blog.  I would like to encourage you to follow after this is all over with as well.  This is a fun way for Justin and I to share about our “interesting” (although you may not think so) lives! Health Update – Justin and I talked to and received an email from Dr. Gupta, the doc in Tupelo who is taking care of us.  He said that he is sending all of Justin’s info to Dr. Landzberg in Boston.  They should receive the info by Friday and hopefully review his info by Monday.  Dr. Gupta is expecting to hear from them by mid-week at the latest, hopefully by Monday or Tuesday.   So, Justin and the rest of the family are just in the waiting stage.  It reminds me of Dr. Suess’s book “Oh the Places You’ll Go”.  There is a page or two about the “waiting place”.  You can tell from the pictures in the book and the writing, that this is not the best place to be
