Here’s a pic of my little brother from his senior prom Saturday night. I don’t think anyone has told him that it’s not 1979.

( He's still a cutie though. )

My friend Suzy posed a few questions in her blog for Mother’s Day, so I though I’d answer them here.

1) Name your favorite memory of your mother.

Probably when she was baptised. I was about 12 years old. I had prayed my whole life for her to become a Christian, and when ( Read more... )

I really like this song that is playing on Muzak here at work. “Dance With Me” by Orleans. I really think I was born in the wrong decade. I should have been my mom’s age… I love the 60s and 70s.

The past few days were loooooooong. I need a nap.

Thursday: Went to Jacksonville to the Steve Vai concert with Mike. It was really good, but it was general admission, so you could barely see. I sort of peeped between people’s heads on the balcony and caught a glimpse every ( Read more... )

Watched the Oscars last night and teared up during Jamie Foxx’s ( Read more... )

My friend wrote ten letters in a recent post on her blog, and she encouraged me to do the same. They don’t need to be long… just to the point and from your heart. Do not reveal the person’s name. Just be real. Anyone game?

I’m a few days behind in updating. It seems like there was something specific and important I was going to write about, but now I don’t recall what it was. Hmph.

Well I’m home. Plane landed in Jacksonville at about 4:30 PM local time and I had an hour and a half drive back to Gainesville. Got home just in time to run out the door to family group with Mike. Had a nice time there, and have just been at home chillin since.

Got here safely last night, and I’m having a great time. I went to see my brother’s last ever high school indoor soccer game. *sad* Sure, he’ll probably have a ton of college games, but it was kind of sad knowing it was the last time those boys would all play together. I’ve ( Read more... )

Well, I’m leaving in an hour or so for Missouri. Plane leaves Jacksonville at 1:30 PM Eastern time. I’ll arrive in Nashville, and then have a three hour drive to Missouri after that.

I’ll try to get on and post tonight and say I made it okay. I’ll also try to post ( Read more... )
