Susan G Komen

As many of you know, the Susan G Komen for the Cure is an organization that helps raise awareness for breast cancer and money for research. I have always talked about participating in the race/walk downtown but never actually followed through with it. So I have just signed up on the Blues team and am going to run the 5k with my brother-in-law and sister-in-law. I am also raising money for the Cure. If you would like to help out, but don't want to run/walk in June, you can donate through my page.

Thanks so much for anything that you give even if it is just prayers.

Simply J Crochet

So Rachel talked about this company on her blog and has some pictures of her Carli Grace with some of the products. These are so stinking cute and I wish I had a child so that I could buy them. Maybe I will just have to buy some for my nieces. She makes booties, hats and hair clips for girls & boys. Check out Rachel's blog to see her pictures of her daughter modeling a hat and mary janes.

Vacation Preview

So as you can see I have not posted in awhile because we have been on vacation since last Friday. Oh and what a vacation. So here is a preview and I will expand on everything when I get home and have more time. We left last Friday and after 14 hours, rush hour in Nashville, construction in Georgia, we finally made it to our hotel at 3:30 in the morning. Then we got on the cruise ship Saturday afternoon and spend much of the afternoon and the next day sitting by the pool. Monday we were at Costa Moya and went to 2 Mayan ruins. Tuesday we went to Belize and went tubing and more3 Mayan ruins. Then we went through the captial of Belize( a first for the tour) and say a LA Lakers tomb and a fisherman that flipped us off. I wish I would have gotten a picture of it. Wednesday was more sitting by the pool on the ship and then back to land on Thursday. So we have spend the last 2 days driving back and will be home tomorrow. Like I said I will provide more details and some pictures in the next couples of days.

Pre-Vacation

So I hope this is not an indication as to how my vacation is going to be. I was driving home last night from work and got rear-ended on highway 70. I'm still not completly sure how it all happened but all I know is this guy hit me and I hit the lady in front of me. Now everything is okay and not much damage to my car at all. The lady in front of me was at a complete stop and I was almost at a complete stop when he hit me. Like I said not much damage to my car at all, heck I probably won't even turn it in. Thank God for spare tires on the back, that is probaly what saved me. Now the other guy has some damage and it will cost a pretty penny I'm sure.

So like I said I hope this is not an indication as to how my vacation is going to be. I have only 8 hours of work and then we leave for florida tomorrow afternoon and cruise on Saturday. I will be sure to post plenty of pics when I get back.

Prayers

In an instant your life can change and that happened this weekend. Tim & Kori's dad Duane fell on Friday and is currently in the ICU. As of right now he is on a ventilater and is paralized from his neck down. It is still very early and there is still alot of swelling. So until the swelling goes down, they won't know much and can not do much. They are trying to keep him as comfortable as possible and staying by his side. I know the power of prayer and they need prayers & support now. Be strong Duane.

The family has set up a website for Duane to keep people updated and post pictures.

My husband

So my fun and exciting Monday evening consited of going through my pictures on the computer and deleting the duplicates and putting them in the right folder. So I know what they heck they are and when they are from. So as I was going through the pictures I came across this great picture of my husband. If you know Stan at all, you know he is a complete goofball. This picture trully shows how much of a goofball he is. This was taking last spring at the Festus Intermediate 5th grade talent show. Every year the 5th grade kids are part of a talent show and Stan will usually DJ it as well as put on some type of performance for the kids. This year he managed to convince the rest of the 5th grade class to also perform. Stan has the weird talent of taking a song and changing the words to match the beat. So the teachers created a rock band and sang a special song just for the kids. So here is the band "Toxic Teachers".

So I couldn't find the youtube video of their performance, but here is the 5th grade teachers first with the addition of the rest of the teachers doing a dance revolution. Again, Stan is the one in the acting like a fool and the one in orange on the far left is the principle. I wish I had teachers/principles like this when I was in school.

Monday Morning

Have I ever told you that I HATE mondays? Well I do and to top it off, we are starting registration today. Now it is much better than it used to be. The university has gone to an online registration and this would be the second time we have had online. Before, our office had to enroll every student by hand which become very annoying. The students would line up outside the night before because they thought they would have a better chance to get in the classes. And then we had to hear them complain when a class was closed and they had to have the class.

So anyway, we have online which is better but still annoying. So we hear the complaning from the students who cannot log in or their advisor has forgotten to approve them to register. Very annoying. Okay, I'm done ranting for now. Till next time.
