Thank you, hubby!

I just want to take a quick minute to recognize my hubby. Today I went to visit the big “city.” I dropped the kids off at school and set out on the highway for my two hour drive. I went there to do some last minute shopping before the reunion & to visit my favorite hairstylist. If you live in a small town, you understand the necessity of driving two hours to do this. Anyway, my husband, on his half day off of work, picked up the kids from school, took our youngest to her dance class, and our oldest to church for her Young Women meeting. On top of this, he took them out to dinner. I talked to him on the phone a few times throughout the day and found out he was not having a good day. Let’s just say that it is days like these, when I am not around, that he must appreciate me more.

I am very grateful for his act of service for me. It was nice to have a day off from mundane chores and “Mom, can you do this?…Mom, he hit me!…Mom, can you sign this?…Mom, where is my _______?!”

I know after 13 years of being a mother, that I am a much better one after having a little time away. Obviously, my husband has noticed this too or he wouldn’t be so willing to help out.

Honey, if you are reading this…THANK YOU SO MUCH! You’re simply the best!

Besides, he doesn’t realize this, but every time he does this…it is a date with dad for my kids. This is quality time my kids will remember for years to come.

Cheers,
Shan

“Be Grateful” President Gordon B. Hinckley

Wow…surprised!

I was surprised to find out how many visitors I had here on my blog yesterday. Either one of two things happened:

  1. You thought, “That slide show was cool!”
  2. You thought, “Go see this hilarious girl’s slide show on her blog.”

Yeah, yeah…go ahead and make fun of my 80’s hair, make up and clothing!

For whatever reason you visited…welcome.

P.S.: In celebration of my 20 year High School Reunion this weekend, I will be posting a new Playlist with some of my favorite 80’s music. Can you guess what I will be playing? Or do you have any requests?

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
