Well, it's been a while since I posted. We have had several events take place this summer! It's been a great one but where did the time go? Steve and I started the summer by taking a 3 day trip to Asheville and we stayed at the Grove Park Inn. It was AMAZING! We had such a good time, just the two of us. Of course, I am sure you know I was not offended by all of the incredible history that was to be learned while there. We did some shopping while we were there too! Well, I only bought 1 thing!
Then we were home for the remainder of June but it was busy. I spent one whole week doing nothing but working on my kitchen table and living room furniture. Well, it's all done. More pictures to come I promise. It does look AWESOME! The only problem is they no longer make hardware for my living room furniture. Hopefully, when we move we will be able to sell the furniture for a small something and get new! I can't wait for that!
We then took our annual trip to Ohio. This was our family vacation! We stayed a week and had such a wonderful time! We ate awesome food, I did a LOT of shopping, Steve played golf, and I got a great birthday present from Emma and Steve. You know it was momentous! The big 30!!!! However, I have celebrated 5 times for my birthday, it always seems to be a week long celebration except this year it has been a month long celebration.
We have been home this week but it's been hectic. I have shopped with my cousin, ran arronds, placed orders for shows friends are having, picked up my house (this seems to be a constant), cooked, sewed several things and have cut things out to sew, searched the internet for ideas and crafting projects for christmas, organized the christmas presents that are already bought. Whew! and I am not through the week. I still have to go to the pool, visit a friend in the hospital, go to the doctor, make blueberry jam, pick up tomatoes to make salsa, buy canning stuff at Lowe's, go to the grocery store, oh and get ready to go out of town next week!
Now, we are having 1 last hoorah before school starts. We are leaving to go to the beach with friends next week and come back the day before I report to work. Yuck! But at least I will get to see God's beauty in the ocean!!!!!!!
Well, that's the summer happenings here. Will put pictures up on the blog when I get them downloaded and organized!

SNOW DAYS!
Since Christmas I have not been able to work much. We went back on the 5th of January for inservice and well, we were out on Tuesday, the 6th for snow. Wednesday the 7th we went into work 2 hours late and Thursday we left at 1:00. Friday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of this week (9-14) we have been out for snow. Emma and I have been together quite a lot. We go and visit Steve at school and then run around or hang out at the house. We have inservice this Friday with the Martin Luther King holiday on Monday. Crazy! Snow what fun!
Elmo Live!
OK, surprise! We got to go to Elmo live. The pictures did not turn out all that great but at least I have some. We had a friend call at the last minute and offer us 4 FREE tickets to Elmo Live! We took them and had a great time. There was probably not 150 people total in the building and Emma loved it. She knows all of the characters and when Abby came out on stage I thought Emma was going to explode! She got so excited! It was hilarious!!!!! :) Anyway, it was a fun night and THANK YOU to our friends for the tickets. It was very sweet.

Christmas 2009
We had an eventful Christmas. We went to my parents house on Christmas Eve and Emma was so excited about presents that she was not willing to wait for everyone else. She helped hand out the presents to everyone until I gave her one of hers. Then it was all over, she ripped them all open and was done within 10 minutes. Christmas morning was spent at our house where santa made a grand entrance! Floor full of presents. She did not wake up early, in fact we had to wake her up to open and then it took me another 10 minutes to get her good and awake for her to understand. Then we followed that with presents at the Simpson's and lunch. Later in the afternoon a visit with Mamaw Simpson in which all of the family was there. Emma received too much stuff and we have no where to put it but....... she's only little once. This year was really fun because she truly knew what to do and the expressions on her face were memorable and priceless. I know I will look back and treasure this year.
