Off to orientation

Hello! Had another first in my journey and that was to take my daughter off to orientation. WOW what an exciting time for her!! Even though there have been so many changes in our world and many many challenges....what an AMAZING place to live! So many friends she has already met and looking forward to meeting when fall arrives. What a blessing to watch her grow and learn life's lessons. Will certainly miss her!! It sure is funny that we think of "how nice it will be to have the kids grown and the house back to ourselves...." Words of advice for you...DON'T THINK THIS!! It will happen and YOU WILL want to turn back the hands of time! Life is GOOD...no life is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another great giveaway!

You have to check out Obsessed with Scrapbooking blog this week. Joy is giving away 3 mini cartridges!!

Mother's Day

What a wonderful day! I saw both of my children, my mother, my sister, my niece, my grandmother and spoke to 2 of my aunts. had a text moment with my sister in law....Family is sure a blessing! I did miss seeing my step daughter Molly but will hopefully get to see her tomorrow. After having brunch at an amazing home town restaurant "Max and Ermma's" went to coffee at my sisters. I also got to see her mother in law...more mother's on Mother's Day! Then my sister and I escorted my husband to get some groceries and more graduation supplies. He is such a sweetheart!! No complaining even after waiting for us for over an hour and ahalf!! He also gave me the most amazing gift. A mother's ring!! It has each of our kids name's and birthstone on it! A treasure I will wear everyday. THANK YOU honey!! My sister and I then delivered our gift to our mom and then made more cookies and mints in preparation for graduation! I am so excited for Courtney as her last day of school is coming next week. Well the timer just went off again for the cookies so better go. Love and Peace.
