Update...

After returning home from Colorado - it was time to get back to reality.  Boo!! 
The first week back at work was a complete blur.  But, I just took one day at a time and got back in the swing of things. It was great to be home to welcome my friend Angie's 5th child - a BOY! He joins his four sisters.  His name is Kieran Nicholas. He is soooo cute!

As a way to relax, I read a wonderful book "Water for Elephants".  Awesome book!  I had hoped to finish it in time to see it at the movies, but I missed it by a few days.  Oh well, some friends and I are going to have a viewing party at my house when it comes out on DVD. 

On Friday, July 22nd, I hosted a "Blessings Unlimited" party for my friend Candace.  Blessings Unlimited is a Christian home decor company.   I had several friends and family join us for the night.  It was mom, Linda, Lindsay, Cameron, Rhiannon, Angela, Christie, Becky and Rebecca.   Dad was hanging with his best buddy, Roscoe, in my office during the party.  I made brownies and Christie made chocolate cookies from a cake mix - YUM!  On Saturday, July 23rd, I got to see Deidre and Jet Tolbert.  They are such good friends and Jet is growing up too soon!  Before long, Landon will be here!

My first Sunday back at church was July 24th.  I was the only alto saxophone!  I think my partners in crime were paying me back for my 2 Sundays off.   The next Wednesday, we were all back together, YAY!

On Friday, July 29th Roscoe had to go to the vet.  He had a large bump on his mouth and I was terrified!  Luckily, it turned out to be an abcessed tooth.  We stayed with mom and dad on Friday.  Saturday, July 30th I went to Theresa's 50th surprise party.  Theresa and I have worked together for 10 years at IMS.  It was a great party.  Roscoe had a follow-up appointment on Monday, so he stayed with his grandparents all weekend.  I missed him terribly!  After a week of antibotics, the bump has gone down, YAY!

On Sunday, August 7th - I met Janelle (sax player at church) and her daughter, Alex at the movies to see "The Smurfs".  It was a cute, cute movie!!!  After returning home, I finished another wonderful book, "The Help".  It was an eye opening story about growing up in the '50s.  It comes out in the theaters on 8/10.  I am suppose to go see it with friends and the family very soon.

I have enjoyed many evening walks with Christie and Presley!  I pray that she and Craig can work their marriage out, but I am going to miss having her 5 minutes away, BOO :(.  I am enjoying all the time I can, while she and Presley are here.

~~until next time. 

Be Blessed!
