Time Flies!

I cannot believe it, but my little sister is graduating from high school today! I'm so proud of her!!! I cannot believe it's already here! It really seems like yesterday that I was graduating from high school and she was only 10 years old! Wow....time flies. I have not been around for the majority of her "grown up" life, and I do not know her as well as I know my other siblings for that reason. Soooo, I am SUPER excited that she is going to Bryan College in Dayton, TN (only about 1.5 hours from our house:-) I'll actually be closer to her than my parents and other siblings for once in her life....maybe she'll come visit me on her "get away" weekends! All that to say...

CONGRATULATIONS ANNA KAT, I LOVE YOU!!!

Making a List...Checking it Twice

Hello to everyone out there! I have been gone for a long time. We have been busy, busy, busy.

First of all, we did an overhaul to the yard a little over a week ago....one day I will post before/after pics. If you want to see pics now, you can go HERE.

Lately, we have been completely ignoring the house and getting ready for Europe!!!! We leave in less than 2 weeks, and I cannot wait!!!!! I've had a long list of things to do/take care of/buy for Europe every time I set foot out of the house for about 2 weeks now...I'm hoping that those lists will start to fade away soon and I will begin to feel "ready." In my researching, I found various MP3 Audio Tours which you can now download to your Ipod.

Some are free....some are not, but I think it's a great idea! Has anyone done this successfully??? I am planning to find as many of these as I can (the free ones), so that we can have some idea of what the heck we're looking at while we are over there! Yes, I have indeed already put that on my next list! I know that you are dying to know exactly how many days it is until we leave...so, here it is, the countdown -

10 DAYS!!!!!
