YEAR 2

Well...it was good-bye's today as Michael left for Fayetteville. It was a little different this year than last. We didn't go with him today (not that I didn't want too...but he said he had things he had to take care of when he got to Fayetteville). He has been staying in Fayetteville 3 days out of the week all summer long, doing lab research-so he is set up in his room (Fraternity house). So it wasn't like it was a major moving day today. But it sure was rough on his momma for him to leave!
Packing up...

Good - bye kiss from momma...(don't think he was too excited about it) hehe

Here he is driving down the road...it about broke my heart. I thought I would be better prepared this time around...but guess what? I'm NOT~ I miss his presence here at home, his laughter, his smile...I just flat out miss the boy! I know he is going where he needs to go...but its still tough.....NOT our typical summer Sunday's anymore..........WHERE DID MY SUMMER GO?

1st Day of School

Today was the first day of school. My baby is an 8th grader~13 years old..and last year for middle school!!! My how times flies......... Here is to a great school year~

This N That...

Just been chillin' with my favorite guys.....before total craziness sets in....
NEVER too old to ride a go-cart...boys have been riding it alot lately...

The boys and I hung out on the lake Monday for a couple of hours. It was my last day of "summer freedom". Michael is not working at the dock anymore...he has taken the week off for some much needed rest! He has worked 7 days a week all summer.

Ping-pong has become a nightly tradition around here. Michael normally won't play Roger because he beats him so bad....but tonight, he decided to play him (daddy won). Michael normally beats Jacob. Jacob has beat daddy a "couple" of times. Mommy doesn't play..they are all way too good for me! :)

I went back to work today for good! Inservice tomorrow...school starts Thursday. Jacob had middle school orientation tonight...we got his class schedule...he is ready for classes to begin. Michael leaves Sunday for college. Where in the world did summer go?????

22 YEARS

Friday night Roger and I celebrated 22 years of marriage!

We went to PJ's in Norfork for dinner. They had our table decorated.
We both had this rib eye steak and salad. It was delicious.

22 years - hard to believe. We have had an incredible journey together. We have a good life and two great boys. My life couldn't be better. I am so lucky to have found such a wonderful partner.....
