1998 – Picture

Okay, so I spent way too much time looking for the pictures of my 10 year High School Reunion; only to realize that my Mom has them. Well, I found this picture of my Mom & I at my step-brother’s wedding which was very close to the time the reunion was held. So this is what I looked like in September of 1998. My next post will show you pictures of what I looked like my Senior year of high school…1988. There is a huge difference! That doesn’t surprise me, though. I love to have different hair styles, if you know me, you KNOW that to be true! By the way, I was 8 and a half months pregnant with my second child at the time. Now, ten years later since this picture was taken, about the only difference besides the hair would be the dreaded wrinkles! Ugh!!!! I guess we have to age sometime!
Later,

20 Year High School Reunion

This weekend I will be traveling back to my “home town” to celebrate 20 years since High School graduation…Class of ’88. WOW! Doesn’t that make me feel old! I have been out of school now longer than I was in school!

I enjoyed going to my 10 year high school reunion; even though I was 8 months pregnant with my son. I was huge! I will have to search for the pictures and post them here. That will be a good laugh!

I am excited to see everyone again.
Go Colts!

Hurricane Hit my Husband’s Parents House.

Yesterday morning my husband called to check on his parents. They live in south east Texas and decided not to evacuate. They were up all night listening to the destruction. When it was over they noticed damage to the roof of their garage. Fortunately, they were not hurt & there was not any major damage to their home. They have many trees down. Electricity is out but they have a generator and plenty of food. It pays to be prepared.
“If ye are prepared ye shall not fear.”

Please keep them in your prayers.
Thank You, Shan

Once Upon A Family Specials!

This month Once Upon A Family has 3 products discounted! I have never seen them do this before. This is awesome! So like with any good thing…I wanted to share it with you.

The first one is Stories of My Life Boxset
I have been wanting this one for myself lately. I realize as I get older, I don’t remember everything like I think I will so, I would like to get my life story written down. It will be something special to leave with my children…my legacy. There is a very special video Once Upon A Family has made to highlight this wonderful product. If you would like to see it, click here.
The second one is Words of Wisdom.
Click on the names to read more about the products.
The third item is our Artwork Portfolio.
I use this to put all of my kids oversized pieces of “picasso.” It is beautiful, like a piece of artwork itself.

"Why?"

My youngest daughter says the funniest things. The other day we brought home McDonald’s for dinner…busy day. It was late and everyone was very hungry. The kids started eating before we had blessed the food. It is a custom in our home to always ask a blessing on the food. I asked the kids why they were eating since we had not said the blessing yet. My youngest (5) said, “Why do we need to say a blessing?” I was surprised by her question as we have always said one and I thought she knew the answer to her question. Instead, I went ahead and told her again, repetition is supposed to be good. “We want to thank Heavenly Father for the food, He is the one who gave it to us.” She looked at me and said, “No He isn’t, McDonald’s gave it to us!”
