A full day of church

So we went to church today and got to spend the whole time there. I was very happy. Then came home and finished cleaning up my craft area followed by Brother Anderson coming by to do his Home teaching. Later we watched a couple of movies and then hit the bed at 9:30. Kids are back on their school schedules now so its to bed early and up early.

A day out

So we had a few things to get done today. We got up and straited up the house then got dressed and headed out to pay a couple of bills and do some food shopping. While out Elyssa wanted to go to the mall and pick up her first day of school outfit at Justice but when we got there she ended up buying a backpack and lunchbox instead. Then we went over to Books-A-Million to waste so time and I picked up a couple of new scrapbooking/card magazines and Elyssa got a how to draw cloths book. Then we went and picked DJ up from the McDonald's at exit 11 from his White Water Rafting trip. He said he had a blast but couldn't take his camera on the raft with him so he couldn't get very many pictures. But he had fun none the less. After all that we came home and I did a little reorganizing of my craft area and then hit the bed kinda early since we have a full of church tomorrow.

Brett (Dales best friend) getting his diploma

What a full day today was. So I got up at 5:15 and got ready for the day. Dropped the kids off with Ryan and we headed out to Nashville to get ready for Dales graduation. He had to be there at 7:00 for flag ceremony and graduation practice. Then at 9:00 we had to go to a seminar on the stresses of being a cop and what tole that takes on the officer and his family. Then at 11:00 he graduated with 52 other officers. Not all of them were from Clarksville P.D. only 10 total. It was a beautiful ceremony and then we took a few pictures and headed home to get Dale changed and headed over to Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner and a little celebrating. We met up with Dales new best friend Brett and his family and Ryan and her kids as well as Diana and her husband Charles. After that was all done we came home and got DJ ready to leave for his White water rafting trip in the morning. He is spending the night at Brother Richards house cause they have to leave early to get there. Now I am headed to bed and it is only 8:30 because I am very tired after the long and eventful day we have had today.

Scrap/card club

Today I went and did some cards at Diana's house for my scrapbooking/card club. We always have a good time together but we were missing a couple of people. Hopefully they will all be able to be there next week. Later Dale came home from the Police Academy and we helped him unpack his stuff and get ready for tomorrow. Then I logged onto my AOL account and did something I have not done in years which was have an IM chat with my Bestie. It was nice. I should do that more often considering that that is how her and I met and got to know each other. Then Dale took the kids and some of their friends down to the pool to cool off while I finished up my blogging. Now its just time to relax and prep for tomorrows big day.

Wednesday HodgePodge

1. July is National Ice Cream month...your favorite flavor? Soft served, hand dipped, or frozen yogurt...which do you prefer? And technically yogurt is not ice cream but its hot outside so I'll let that slide for today.
I prefer all three but if I had to choose I would go with soft served just because it is so yummy. And my favorite flavor is all of them I have not met a flavor I have not liked yet.

2. When you travel do you tend to pack too much or too little?
It depends on where I am going. If I know exactly what I will be doing than just the right amount but if I don't know then usually to much because I just want to be on the safe side.

3. What's your favorite cleaning product?
That would have to be this stuff called Awesome. It literally cleans everything. I love it.

4. Which is the greater tragedy-an innocent person imprisoned or a guilty person set free? Explain.
Wow I cant say either way because both are very bad things.

5. What's the longest trip you've taken by car?
That would be the trip when we moved from Colorado to West Virgina. It took us four days to drive and I thought I was going to go crazy by the time it was over.

6. tennis-golf-canoeing-biking...pick one.
Tennis all the way unless it is really hot then canoeing to keep cool.

7. What sound drives you crazy?
My friends kid does this high pitched squeal and it just racks my nerves every time he does it. That really drives me crazy.

8. Insert your own random thought here.

Dale is down to his last day at the academy. He will come home tomorrow and graduate on Friday. Yeahhhhhh we are finally done.

Nothing to do

Today was a day to just chill and relax or as my kids say chillax. LOL anyway I woke up with this overwhelming feeling that I didn't need to do anything today so I spent the day just hanging out at home doing absolutely nothing. Well that's not true I did clean the house this morning and work a little bit on my Christmas cards throughout the day but for the most part I just chilled. I love being able to have days like this. Not that I get them very often. I am ready for the school year to start so we can all get back to our normal schedules.

Dj is a teenager

So thirteen years ago today I gave birth to one of the best blessings in my life at Biloxi Memorial Hospital to my wonderful son Dominic Sellers. I can't believe he is really that old already, I can't believe Im that old already. It seems like just yesterday he was this great little boy who always wanted to cuddle with his mommy and now he is a teenager who wants nothing to do with his mom and would rather sleep all day and play with his friends. I love him so much. I know he knows how much I love him and would do anything for him. Well come on and join me in my new adventure called Teenagehood. Got any good advice for me? This is all new territory for me. So here we go.
