Enjoying hearing of the "Boot Camp Highlights"

We are all so proud of this amazing young man who is now a "Marine"  who will be on his way back to California....in 10 short days....to Camp Pendelton! 

Good Luck and you will be in our prayers!

Max had a great day....and was invited back!  Woohoo for him!

He slept all the way home and hasn't moved yet this morning....he is worn out!

HTC Incredible....

I have had my phone for one year and I still love it!  But I did see this weekend Incredible 2 and it was so fast!  But I do think I can wait for a year!

New Kitchen Counter top

When I left for the wedding this counter top wasn't completed ....came home to have it almost done....just needs some touch up paint on the cabinets and the wall!  I am excited to wash dishes in my new sink!  The picture doesn't give it justice....I love it!  It is beautiful for my old house!  :)

Drink before the reheasal dinner for Cody's wedding

Sally and Marian with me at Bennigan's for a quick snack before rehearsal dinner for Cody and Meghan's wedding.  We made it through Iowa City with all the road construction and the heavy traffic of Interstate 80.  We are ready for the weekend celebration....
