Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! It is hard to believe it is 2009. I borrowed another photo from the trip Linda, Marcie and Nirelle took to NYC right before Christmas.

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays to all. It's hard to believe another year is about over.

New York City

No, I didn't get to go, but my three daughters did. I have been listening to Broadway musicals since Marcie & Nirelle got home...my Christmas present was the CD from The Lion King. The girls saw In The Heights and Nirelle saw Phantom of the Opera. What fun!!!

Texas Trip Three

I'm in Texas again for this long weekend.

The trip out began Thursday morning at 3 AM. Because I bought the ticket so late, I had to go to Orlando for my flight out. I usually hate going to Orlando, but it wasn't so bad at 3 AM. The only problem were the semi-trucks speeding along at 80 mph. Watch out!

The flight was marvelous...only about 40 passengers on a 200 seat airplane. There was no one at all around me for 3 rows. I could stretch out and spread my things out, too. It was quiet and it was COLD. I dozed and graded spelling tests the whole way...a nonstop flight, too!

I was ready for food and a nap once I got in to Dallas. Linda picked me up and we traded election stories all the way in to Fort Worth. I had lunch with Nirelle at one of our favorite places, Which Wich (a sandwhich shop). I then took a nap until the evening volleyball match.

TCU vs. Wyoming! The Horned Frogs won in three and there was a very nice Senior Night celebration afterward honoring Nirelle and Devon. It's hard to believe Nirelle's fourth year is about over. Linda has been out here for 4 1/2 years...time does fly!

Nirelle and Devin's senior picture....isn't it adorable!

Screaming Linda

Linda was feeling a bit left out so she emailed her own screaming picture! What an intense bunch of girls! :)

Go Frogs! And Gators!

No screaming picture for this daughter...

there's a good one of her somewhere but I couldn't find it.

My children's literature class let out early tonight, so I rushed home to pack for my trip. What do I find myself doing? Getting onto this blog! It really can be addicting. I won't say how late I stayed up last night just kind of messing around with it....when I should have been averaging grades! Well, I have to pack!

Go Blue Wave football! Go get 'em, Vince!

Go Gators! I'll miss you this weekend.

Go Frogs! See you soon!

Here's Another Screaming Daughter...

I thought it fitting to put up a picture of Marcie, too.

Texas....Here I Come!

I'll be leaving soon for a long weekend in Fort Worth. I will be missing UF homecoming and Vincent's football game, but I am excited to visit my two daughters that live in Texas. Linda is assistant volleyball coach at TCU and Nirelle is a senior setter on the team. I am going to be able to watch two games over the weekend and have some time to chill with my girls. I've made it my goal to get out to Texas as much as I can this year.

Oh, yeah...that's Nirelle in the middle of the picture, screaming her head off. I think they had just upset BYU, just like the football team did!

Family Pictures

I have five unique and amazing children.

Welcome

Welcome to my blog. I feel like an explorer hacking (pun intended) my way through an overgrown forest trying to find my way. Join me as I embark on quite an adventure...
