Beloved Blackie

Our beloved Blackie is having Kidney issues. Our hearts are breaking as that is what took our Simba on January 15, 2007. Simba was 2 weeks of watching him starve and being to lethargic to eat or move. We are hoping we can turn this around with him due to the fact we noticed it earlier. So he got his antibiotic shots, and now is on prescription food. He has lost 15lbs since April. Blackie will be 13 this March. For those non animal lovers this may not seem like a big deal, but to a family who considers their pets a member of the family it's huge. So keep him in your prayers.

Changes

Well first I'd like to say Lil Dan went out for Cross Country. His best time 8 minutes 15 Seconds. He came in 8th place in a Metro Meet. Also Dan is out for Flag football again, now he's a Panther. Once again does an outstanding job of getting in there. Lat night 3 touchdowns and numerous flags.
Now the Big Change I have a job. I work for Waterloo School Systems, I am currently subbing as a Hall Monitor at West High. Those who knew Me in High School will find this highly ironic. Life has a tendency to come full Circle.

My quirkiness

The idea I believe is to list 6 quirks of mine. Sorry it took so long to get around to this.
1. I can not drive a car in any season without my window down. (particularly makes my husband crazy. Grandparents are not thrilled either)
2 & 3 They go together. I must sleep on the side of the bed closest to the door. And I must always face the door at night. I'm pretty sure that constitutes two)
4. Every thing in my house must have balance. Check out my walls some time. Another thing that drives my husband crazy.
5. I can sense if a door is unlocked at bedtime.
6. I can not stand complete silence.

1st Day of School

Aren't my boys just handsome? Ricky is a freshman in high school this year. (Notice Anna had to get in on the photo)
Dan is a 6th grader in Middle School. Going out for cross country and football.
Eddie Ray is a 1 st grader in Elementary.

We Finished The Book of Mormon

We started reading January 27,2008. We reflected on what parts were important to us.
Rick really enjoyed the story of Samuel on the wall. His heroes were Moroni and Nephi.
Dan's favorite story and Hero was Enos. I have to agree, I to love the story of Enos, the shortest book had the biggest impact on my life. It is just so powerful and concise. Eddie Ray's was when they talked about Christ and God. But were very excited to be starting the Doctrine and Covenants tommorow.
