Thank you Veterans

So thankful for the men and women who fought for our Country, such a beautiful day to ponder and reflect on what these men and women did to protect and serve and many who lost their lives for our all of us. I love The United States of America and I am proud to be an American!

Something I've always wanted to do....

Learn to play the Cello

So one of the girls in our String's group mentioned to me that her sister had several Cellos and would sell me one. I was thrilled .So she brought me this cello last night at Strings and Imust say I am so excited to learn to play...I am thinking I need to take lessons instead of trying to teach myself.

Today was PayDay and I made these cute little goodies for the girls at work.

Happy Friday

There is Beauty All Around......

Especially when looking at this adorable girl.... I had so much fun spending some time with Whitney, I spent the night with her Friday night and then this morning ( Sat) we went downtown to the Farmers, Market, went out to lunch,went grocery shopping and then came home and snuggled in bed while watching movies. On the way home Spring was in all it's Glory.. so beautiful everywhere I looked. So blessed to live in this part of the country.

Weekend Happenings

It was a fabulous weekend and it started off with the Royal wedding Friday Morning, I woke up at 5:44 just in time to see William and Kate come out on the balcony for their first kiss...I did record the entire wedding but didn't have time to watch it that morning...when I got to work all the girls in scheduling were gathered around one of the girls computers watching clips of the wedding. I loved the entire thing, I think they are soo cute together and I love her dress and just how beautiful her and her sister were. William was adorable too. The whole thing was pure lovliness.

We had a family dinner tonight over at Stephs, it was a year ago today that Annabelle was born so are thoughts have been about her today, so thankful that all 3 girls are having healthy pregnanices and the babies are growing well and that we will have some cute little boys coming to hold and cuddle. We truely had the most spiritual and blessed day when Annabelle was born, we love her and look forward to seeing her someday.
