Missing Mike

It's only Tuesday and I'm missing Mike. We got back from vacation on Saturday evening and on Monday morning his boss asked him to go on a buisness trip for a week. HE came home Friday and Monday morning, packed his bags and left. When came home Friday evening and told me he would have to go again for several weeks back to the east coast. This is our second week of Mike traveling and I'm missing him like crazy! School is getting ready to start, so that is passing the time away. I'm so glad that he was willing and able to go on this trip. Back in February his company went to 32 hours, so this traveling will bump his hours up to 40!!! PTL (However, I think I've already spent the money buying new clothes for school that fit since I'm losing weight! Shhhh--he doesn't know yet b/c I haven't talked to him yet today long enough to tell him.) This job is close to his sister and her husband so he has been able to spend some bro/sis time together. Wish I could join them, but maybe another time.

PS--Cooper misses Mike too. This is what he does all day. . .

Show Us Your Life!

I got married June 12, 1999 at a local church in South Carolina. I did not get married at my home church, but had my reception at my home church. I only used ferns and candles to decorate the front of the sanctuary, you really can't tell that from the pictures I posted. They all lead to the cross as the focal point. My bridesmaid's dresses were from the junior departments from Dillards and Belks. They were a soft pale yellow. They were on clearance and one dress came as far as Texas! Dillards and Belks were great to work with. Each of the dresses were different amounts, so we rounded the price and each bridesmaid had to pay $25 for her dress!!!!! I used spring colors for the flowers and my flowers were white with greenery.



After our wedding, I wanted to get my flowers dried but when I came home from the honeymoon my mom told me they had died. . . well, a year later on our one year anniversary my parents gave us a shadow box with our invitation and part of my bouquet inside! It is in our bedroom and still beautiful after 10 years! So sorry the pictures are pictures of pictures!

Happy Birthday Abby!

Happy Birthday Abby! I hope you were able to celebrate all day today. You are a very special sister and I love you very much. I'm so proud of you. What you are doing is not easy and you are doing a great job saving money, working, and raising Maggie. I'm glad I have you for a sister. I love you!
