Topic: RE: WOW! What a DEAD board.......
 My mind forgets the simplest things these days, when I've got SO much on my mind.  

What mind????  Sorry but I could NOT resist   Our lives all seem to be so muddled these days.  We need to slow down and smell the roses.  I walked out in my back yard this morning.  Everything was quiet and I got a whiff of honeysuckle that took my breath away.  We got our coffee, and sat of the truck tailgate in the driveway and just smelled it and enjoyed the peace and quiet!  We need more of that

Honey, if I didn't have my precious grandson and my job, I would probably become a hermit too.  I hate leaving the house and I hate driving.  I get to work 45 minutes early every day, just to avoid the heavy traffic. Sounds crazy, I know, but that's just how much I hate traffic. 

Kyle and I are doing good.  Holly and Beau are about to celebrate their 3rd anniversary and are doing well.  Holly graduated nursing school and is working OB-GYN and loving it.  Beau also has a great job. Jill, on the other hand is happlily getting a divorce from "the scum of the earth" idiot she married.  We are thrilled with her decision.  We are not advocates of divorcing, but under the cir****tances, this was the best decision she could make and she made it all on her own. She really needs everyone's prayers right now.  Also, she is in her 3rd semester in Cosmetology.

Now, on to Master Christian.....he's the love of our lives.  He is such an animated little boy......hummmm, wonder who he gets that from?  LOL  He's adorable, funny and SOOOOO smart.  He comes up with the funniest sayings.....stuff adults would say......he's hilarious.  Oh and beautiful too.

Thanks for asking and I hope you get the job of your dreams.  I am 5 years from retiring and I can't wait to get there.

Donya, I am so sorry to hear this.  I will be praying you and  your Mom.  Let me tell you, I can similarly relate, but dare not get into "that" at this time.  Just trust me, when I say....I understand.  You have always been special to me.  Please tell me again, where you are located?  My mind forgets the simplest things these days, when I've got SO much on my mind.  I would love to see you again.  I hope we can get a gathering put in motion soon.

doing pretty good :) quit my crappy, next-to-nothing paying, online job, and am now looking for a REAL job. haven't found anything yet, but i'm not giving up. i've gained 15-16 pounds (maybe a little more) over the past year due to stress, but i'm TRYING to put those bad habits behind me. my daughter is in the band, and that's gotten me out of the house more. it made me realize what a hermit i'd become, lol. how is everyone there? how are you, kyle, the girls and that precious grandbaby?

Like I said in a previous post....it's SO GOOD TO HEAR FROM YOU!!!! I know exactly what my weight gain was from.  Kyle and I were going to have a special 25th wedding anniversary....repeating our vowes, in CHURCH.  We'd never had a real wedding in a church before with a real Pastor. (we eloped on the beach in PCB)
We wanted a small, intimate wedding ceremony, dressed all up and everything.  I had fully intended to wear the formal champagne colored dress I wore in Holly's wedding.....ugh....it fit everywhere except in the waist.  I was mortified. I weighed less then than when she got married.  I was so distraught over it, that I began to eat everything in sight and I didn't give a care either.  That was in January....our anniversary was March 17th.  Honestly, I wanted to wear a silver tea length dress and could not find ANYTHING like I wanted....then one day, I saw a dress than Karen Templeton White posted of herself on FB.  Oh my go**** was the dress I'd been looking for.  It was everything I wanted and more. Jokingly, I said to her that it was the dress I'd been looking for for our 25th Anniversary.  She was so kind to offer to loan it to me and I was thrilled.  She told me she would be HONORED for me to wear it and I felt like a princess in the dress.  It was SO PERFECT beyond belief.  It matched Kyle's suit perfectly too. Karen and her dress was an answer to prayer.  You see, that's just how God works.  A lady out our church made a small two tiered wedding cake for us as a gift to us.  I got shoes off of "freecycle.com" and lo and behold, it was from a lady that lives just around the corner from us and we'd bought a car from her 2 years ago.  And YES, they matched the dress PERFECTLY as well.  I could go on and on how God worked out our day to be just the most special "wedding" day ever.  We had no rehearsal and everything fell right into place.  My childhood pastor did the renewal of vowes ceremony and our pastor at our church now did communion.  It was very very small, intimate and oh so very special. I could not ask for more.  I think Kyle enjoyed it just as much as I did.  So, Donya....that is how I got the extra baggage on......and now I've got to get it all back off plus a few more if I can.  Anyways....I hope we can keep in touch and I look forward to hearing more from you.

Oh Donya, it's so good to see you and hear from you.  How in the world have you been?  Please update me.  I am so glad to see you are still here.  I disappeared for awhile, but always find my way back home. My OH home that is.  Looking forward to reconnecting with a few friends.

oh elle, i've missed you! when i popped back in a few weeks ago, i was shocked at how dead the board was. i have no idea what happened, having been gone for several months; however, i do hope it can recover. i'll admit, i've gained about 15-16 pounds over the past year, due to issues with my mother, but i'm trying really hard to keep it under control. *hugs* :) love ya! Donya

Topic: Everyone........Hunker down and
batten down the hatches.....take cover and be safe with all this bad weather out there today and coming on through the night.  As of this moment, Tuscaloosa has now been lifted from a tornado warning.  PRAISE GOD.  But it's sure to keep coming our way from what I'm understanding.  There has been a good bit of damage from what I can tell from the news.  Please keep your tv turned to the news and take safety precautions.
