Opps, time got away!

So, July is upon us and my last blog entry was in March.  What happened, you ask??  Well -

We got to see Martina McBride in Concert in April.

My daughter got all dressed up and went to prom.

She also graduated from high school.  We were very proud of her and she managed to do so a full year early.  

Okay, that took spring, but what about June - 

Well, 10 days of June were spent at Walt Disney World on a Mother/Daughter Birthday/Graduation extravaganza visit.

That's only PART of June and none of July:

June ended with a trip to Freshman Orientation at Western Carolina University.  My Daughter is heading there in a few weeks to major in Forensic Chemistry.   Her brothers (she has 3) have been calling her "Miss Smarty Pants" all summer.

I know, I know - that only takes us to the end of June - What's happened in July - well we've gone shopping for college supplies.

One shopping trip had the kids playing with masks in the toy aisle at Target.

Cat sitting in SC - brought home the BEST SC peaches

July has also been spent cleaning up after many violent thunderstorms.

And last but not least for July - my youngest son had his 15th birthday.

So, we are still going full speed ahead with our summer FLYING by - next up - Marching Band Camp for my youngest son at the High School and then Marching Band Camp for my daughter at Western Carolina University - she's going to be a member of the Pride of the Mountains!

So, that's what's been happening here - just busy, busy, busy.

And that doesn't include time trying Pinterest  projects, spent with family, etc.

I'm back.....not necessarily better than ever, but back.

Wow, I have let things slide.  I undertook a 31 days to clean and the group I am doing it with (holding each other accountable) have had to let people catch up, etc.  And in that, well, we are still in our 31 days.


So, I'll go back to my blog questions.....I'm just picking one that I know I can answer.

What are the 10 most significant events in your life?  After number 1, these are not in any particular order.
1.  My marriage to my husband
2. The birth of my twins
3. The birth of my daughter
4. The birth of my youngest son
5. My miscarriage
6. The murder of my parents
7. The death of my maternal grandmother
8. My oldest twin getting married
9. The death of my paternal grandfather
10. Has yet to happen



Life continues to tick along in my house.  We all wake up, the younger 2 go to school, the older one still living here goes to his temp. job, the husband goes to work.  I go about puttering around the house trying to keep my mind sane and my body from leaving the house to spend money.

One, Two, Skip a few, Ninety Ninety, One Hundred....

Okay, missed a few days.....open house visit with my daughter to her first choice college. Then just recovering from that visit and trying to get over the bug we brought home.

So, with that I'm going to skip a few of the questions as they don't really pertain to me in my current life situation.

So, my best friend in life - that's the question that I will chose to answer today - Who is it??

Well - we've been friends for over 25 years and of those, we've been married for almost 23 of them.  Yes, my best friend is my husband.  He has been my rock, my shoulder, my constant, my ear, my heart, and my strength for years.  He is who I go to when I need to talk, when I need to cry, when I need my ego boosted, when I need reassuring,etc.  And the best about this relationship is that I can say with 100% certainty that I am the same for him.  

We look forward to growing old together, to having grandchildren come visit for us to spoil, to traveling the world together, to being together as our bodies (but hopefully not our minds) fail us.

Our 22nd Anniversary - still together after all these years.
