OH CRAP!

While I was at my parents' house for lunch today we were all getting ready to leave and this "smell" was lingering behind Kodiak like she had BAD gas. It was really funny, but man did it ever burn your nose too. Caitlyn, my niece who is 3 yrs old kept saying," something is stinky!" We all kept laughing and saying that Kodiak had gas. Well, I take Kodiak outside to see if she "needs to go," but she refuses to do anything but stand there and stare at me. I took her back inside and I went ahead and left to go back to work and my mom and the kids left to go to the vet with one of the other dogs. My mom got back home about 1 1/2 hours later and she walked into the house and could STILL smell the stinch. My mom said that she either really has bad gas or she has gone to the bathroom in the house. A few minutes later Caleb went into the living room and lo and behold he found the culprit of the stinch - 4 HUGE PILES OF POOP! My mom said that one pile was honestly 4 inches high and about 8 inches wide - she said," Kimberly, I'm not kidding, it was gross!" As she was telling me on the phone about this whole incident - I am just laughing and laughing. I told her that if I would have had to clean up the poop - I would have gagged or thrown-up because I don't think that I could handle it at this point. Anyways, I will be going to get Ms. Kodiak Marie after I get off work and take care of a few things. Hopefully she'll have the poo poo all out of her system! LOL

The fun times of having a dog and having a dog that enjoys eating weird things like bugs, sticks, etc...............have a great day!

84 Year-Old Bride..........sooo funny!!!

The 84 Year-Old Bride

The local news station was interviewing an 84 year-old bride because she had just gotten married - for the 4th time.

The interviewer asked her questions about her life, about what it felt like to be marrying again at 84, and then about her new husband's occupation. "He's a funeral director," she answered. "Interesting," the newsman thought.

He then asked her is she wouldn't mind telling him a little about her first 3 husbands and what they did for a living.

She paused for a few moments, needing time to reflect on all those years.

After a short time, a smile came to her face and she answered proudly, explaining that she first married a banker when she was in her early 20's; then a circus ringmaster in her 40's; later on a preacher in her 60's, and now in her 80's, a funeral director.

The interviewer looked at her, quite astonished, and asked why she had married 4 men with such diverse careers?

"Easy, son," she smiled. "I married 1 for the money....2 for the show.....3 to get ready...and 4 to go!"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HONEY!!!!

As you can probably tell from the title - today is Les' 37th birthday!!!! I just wanted to write a quick note of our fun birthday weekend for Les.

We started out by going to the rodeo on Saturday night and had an absolute blast! We actually didn't even get home till 2:15 AM....... :) We went out to the Ladonia Rodeo and had a good time. No one was hurt majorly - thank you, Lord! Then we danced our hearts away afterwards with the live band. It was so funny b/c Les and my friend, Kristy, were dancing and this guy came over and asked me to dance. I accepted and we were out there and the first thing that he asked me was," Are you married?" I said," yes, he is actually right over there dancing with one of my girlfriends." So, we finished dancing and I went over to Les and Kristy to tell them what he had said. Well, Les and I were out dancing and I saw Trey (the guy who had asked me to dance) walking around looking for someone to dance with. So, Les and I decided to dance over to him. I tapped him on the shoulder and asked him if he was looking for someone to dance with and he said," yes." I told him that my friend over there in the black shirt would dance with him. So, he goes over to a girl in a black shirt (not Kristy) and asks her to dance, but she tells him no. So, we go back over to him and tell him to go a little bit further back. So, he asks Kristy to dance and they do. Then several more times over the next little while he comes back to dance with her. We knew he was young, so Kristy asked him how old he was and he was 18! It was really funny because then 1 time while they are dancing he asks her if she likes to party. She says," well, not really." We just kept teasing her about it and we got a really good laugh out of the whole thing, but definitely fun!!!!

On Sunday night, we went and ate dinner at Texas Roadhouse with my family - we had just picked them up at the airport. My parents had been in MD and were bringing the kids back to Texas for the rest of the summer. It had been about 2 weeks since we had seen my parents and it was fun to see them! They even brought us some maple candy and my mom brought me a pair of pewter earrings from their visit to the Trapp Family Lodge (The Sound of Music). The Trapp Family had escaped from Austria and resided in VT (http://www.trappfamily.com/).

Les, I am so glad that you are my husband and we have had an awesome 9 months of marriage and can't believe that we have been together almost 3 yrs now!!! I am so glad that God brought you into my life. I look forward to all the memories, trips, and all around life that will come our way as we live out our dreams together. I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

ADDITION TO THE POST!

I was just talking to a girlfriend of mine because she was asking how old Les was, etc. I was telling her that the first time that I ever found out when Les' birthday was was actually on July 13th of 2005. It was a Wednesday night and I had been at a bible study at church (we were doing a video series of dating). Well, I had a huge crush on Les and I thought that he might be interested too; which he was......:) I asked everyone "in general" if anyone wanted to go get ice cream - definitely hoping he would accept and go too; which he did!! He was driving one of his big trucks and he met a few of us at Braum's in Allen. I remember him saying that his birthday was the next day and we asked him what he was going to do and he said that he was going to stay home and work on the truck! I think I remember him saying that his mom would possibly be coming over to make dinner.

Today, Les is actually teaching my nephew how to shoot guns with my dad. Caleb has this huge fascination with guns and they went shooting - the 3 men! :) I hope that Caleb is having fun and learning the safety of guns too.

Just wanted to share a memory from our 1st summer of meeting and getting to know each other.

4th of July Weekend!!

It's about time I am telling myself........hahahaha Normally I have not wanted to get on my laptop after being on a computer all day at work. So, I have not made the time to do it. :)

Here is a lowdown of our 4th of July weekend celebrations!!!

Thursday night - we went out to Royse City to visit with my mother-in-law, Doris. We had a good time. We went and had BBQ at this really good BBQ place. Then we went and got the dogs and took them for a walk around city park. After that we went back to the house and talked till about 11 PM. It went by so fast, but it was great seeing her and spending time with her! I am definitely fortunate to have a mother-in-law that I get a long with so well. Oh, one of the highlights besides the walk around city park was her feeding the goat. Oh my gosh what a site and man can that goat eat fast......hahahaha It is so cute b/c the goat eats its meals out of a bottle still. After Doris put the goat back in the cage; I could see the goat in there shredding/eating the newspaper in her cage. It was pretty funny!

Friday - slept in!! Then Les worked 12 - 6 and I did things around the house. After Les got home; then we headed out to Garland for their 4th of July events. They had booths set up and my favorite booth was the ice cream booth........LOL You could pick your ice cream and cookies and they made you an ice cream sandwich - VERY GOOD!!! The picture below is of us at the festivities in Garland.

The fireworks were awesome and we were literally right under them. I took several shots, but the picture that came out the best was this one. I don't know how to do a video posting, but I got some great video of the fireworks too.

Saturday: Slept in!!! We went to a wedding early afternoon and then that evening we went out to the Honey Grove rodeo. There was a dance afterwards and those are always fun! At the rodeo they have started a new thing: mini-bullriding. They are boys about 12 yrs or so and they are riding bulls, but not the HUGE ones in the main bullriding event. On Friday night one boy named Chance was taken by careflight to Dallas, but he was back out for Saturday night to compete. He ended up with a bruised lung, but he was ready to go again. BRAVE (or stupid?!?!) little guy! In fact, I think he might have even been in Ladonia last night too competing. I didn't catch the boys' names from last night. He did good if it wasn't him and no injuries besides a few bruises for the boys last night - Thank you, Lord.

Sunday: We went to church and then we grilled that evening. We just hung around here and did things because we had had a very busy weekend; which we love! There aren't too many days out of the week that we don't have something going. :)

Overall, we had a wonderful 4th of July weekend!!!!!!!!!!!

Mass

Yep, my parents are in the giant state of Massachusetts (haha). They are visiting a close friend of mine, Thomas, and his family. Thomas and his siblings bought an old farmhouse together several years back. On the property is a cottage that they rent out throughout the year. They are letting my parents stay there for free since we're like family. :) Anyways, they called me this morning and asked me to look up where they were going online. It looks like they are going to have a blast! There are about 5 or 6 of them going to this place: http://jiminypeak.com/sum/s_attractions.html

If you scroll down and look at the Mountain Coaster; this is just one of the activities that they are going to do. Looks like a blast!!!!!!!!!! I wish that I was there to go too, but they said they would take a lot of pictures! Can't wait to see those........LOL :)

Last night.........

...............I learned to play Tennis!!! I had a lot of fun! Lauren and I went after work and she taught be the basics of playing. When our friend Eileen got there; then we played Australian Tennis; which is 2 against 1. We each took turns being the single and I ended up winning the game! It definitely helps that I am athletic too - as I told Lauren," I feel like I'm dancing." :) I love sports and now I can add this to my list of things I like to do! We played for about 1 1/2 hours and it was pretty warm, but we did find a court that had some shade to it. That helped a TON!!!!!!! So, if you are up to playing a rooky; then give me a call and we'll go and have some fun.

Best Friend, Julie

CONGRATULATIONS TO JULIE & NATHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They were engaged on June 28, 2008 in Boerne, TX. I am so happy for her and can't wait for the BIG day!! Her wedding date is (drum roll please)......................May 2, 2009!!!

I am so happy for Julie. She is my best friend from high school. We met when I was about to finish my sophomore year of high school. I was a current Tallenette and she was going to be trying out. We stood next to each other in try-outs, but then over the summer; she grew tall over the summer..........LOL We still stayed as friends and then over time became inseparable. We have had so many laughs over the years and I can't even tell you how many stories........LOL I think of a lot just sitting here and they're making me laugh thinking about it.........HAHAHAHA

Julie is a wonderful person and someone that I can always trust no matter what and go to her with whatever. She is a wonderful friend and someone that I consider to be more than a friend - a sister!

Julie, I am so happy for you and I look forward to being there and standing by your side through the whole thing. I hope that you and Nathan will have MANY years of happiness. Remember to keep God in the center of your marriage and He'll work everything out! I love you!!!!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!!!

YAY, we're getting off work in 39 minutes.........I can't wait. I just LOVE getting off early; even if it's only a little early. :)

We have LOTS of stuff going on this weekend, so I'm not sure if I'll be posting any, but I'll write more next week if I don't get a chance this weekend.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!!!!!!!!

You Know You Drive a Standard Well When...........

....you drive while eating an ice cream cone in the TEXAS summer..........LOL

Yes folks that is exactly what I did. I totally wasn't thinking when I got an ice cream cone today at Chick-fil-a. I got to my car and thought," oh, how is this going to work?!?!" Well, I managed very well and did not have any problems, did NOT drip any ice cream (hahaha), AND made it back to work with about 1/2 the cone still left to eat while sitting down at my desk. :) I was very proud of myself!!!

Just had to share and this is what the Icedream looked like piled high to the sky......:)
http://www.chick-fil-a.com/#menu (click desserts and then icedream) YUMMY!

It's July.......WOW!

I can't believe that it is already July - where has the other 6 months gone?!

I am excited because on Thurs we'll be getting off work early for Independence Day on Saturday - YEAH!!!!!!! I am so excited b/c I LOVE fireworks!!! I just can't get enough of them and they never seem to last long enough. :) LOL

We went Saturday night and saw fireworks in Allen. We had a blast! I ended up running into a friend of mine from high school. I had not seen her in years and was so excited to meet her kids and catch up before the fireworks.

That's all for now - just completely stunned that it's already July. Almost 9 months of being married!!!!!!! (THIS Sunday) :)

Why Are People So Mean?!

Yesterday at church someone said something well, not so nice to me. I thought," how can a fellow Christian speak to other Christians like that?" Well, I decided to look up online this morning how the tongue can be used. I don't understand how people who call themselves Christians can be mean and use their tongues to hurt others. Your words, tones, and nonverbal signs can be VERY hurtful to those around you and even make others feel uncomfortable. Christians have enough problems in the world, but why do we have to take unkindly words, tones, actions, etc from our brothers and sisters in Christ, family, and friends. We need to be uplifting and not hurtful to each other. I try to be very nice and hold my tongue; although I do slip, but I do try hard to definitely think before I speak; which is not the easiest for sure!!!!! When I know that I have spoken out of place or even just in the wrong tone; then I apologize. However, since I am a Christian, I have the strength of our Lord and Savior. From the cartoon Bambi, Thumpers mom always says to him," if you can't say something nice; then don't say anything at all."

Anyways, I found this article online and thought it was very interesting:


Is your Tongue out of Control?
By Dr. Dale A. Robbins

It has been said that the “tongue” is one of the most exercised muscles of our body. It has been estimated that in a typical week, the average person will speak enough words to fill a 500 page book! However, for the Christian, the use of the tongue must be a matter of careful forethought and discipline. The Bible warns that believers who do not bring restraint to their tongue and speech have been deceived — and without such control over their words, their religious acts are worthless and hypocritical. “If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless” (James 1:26). It is a deception for any of us to think that Jesus can be Lord over our life, without also becoming Lord over our tongue.
The reference to a “bridle” in the previous verse is the leather harness and bit placed in a horse’s mouth to control it. In the same manner, Christians must allow the Holy Spirit to bridle their tongue, and bring restraint to their words. David used a similar device as a metaphor to describe his tight control on his mouth to avoid sinning with his tongue, especially when the ungodly were around, where it’s easy to develop a critical tongue, or pick up their bad tongue habits, such as profanity. “I will guard my ways, Lest I sin with my tongue; I will restrain my mouth with a muzzle, While the wicked are before me” (Psalms 39:1).

Hypocrisy of the Tongue
Elsewhere, James gave a warning of the evil poison of the tongue. He described some who try to use their tongue as praise and blessing to God, then turn around to use their tongue to speak evil of one another. “With it we bless our God and Father, and with it rue curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so” (James 3:9-10). We cannot use our tongue to curse and bad-mouth our brethren, then continue “business as usual” with our relationship with God. The Bible says that such tongue behavior is characteristic of hypocrites. “The hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor... “(Prov. 11:9).
Along this same vein, the psalmist warned that the wicked who use their mouth for evil and who speak against their brethren, violate the sacredness of God’s covenant and forfeit their right to use that same mouth as a vessel of God’s Holy Word and promise. Paraphrased, the passage says, “What right do you have to use your mouth to declare my word and promises? You have used your mouth for evil and deceitfulness, to bad-mouth and slander your brethren” (Psa. 50:16-22).

Mouth sins are not Trivial
Unfortunately, mouth sins have somehow been domesticated and entertained by the modern church. Gossip, backbiting, and slander have become viewed as “naughty” little habits that aren’t really so serious. However, when Paul wrote to the church at Rome he sternly contended that gossips, slanderers, and bad-mouthers were in the same league as murderers, sexual perverts, and haters of God. Furthermore, he said such sins are worthy of a death sentence (Rom. 1:28-32).
Some believers have experienced problems and misfortune, or fail to get answers to their prayers, because of their mouth sins. Using their tongue to ridicule, gossip about, or to slander their brothers and sisters is clearly sin — and as we know, unrepentant sin cuts off the flow of God’s answers to their prayers. “If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear” (Psa 66:18). Those who have mouth problems are destined to experience much trouble in their life and will not find it easy to obtain God’s help with their problems. Satan takes advantage of those whose mouths are undisciplined and that are used wickedly. “Whoever guards his mouth and tongue Keeps his soul from troubles” (Prov. 21:23).
The Bible teaches that they who desire to dwell in the presence of God, to experience His blessings, are those who will live righteously and who will not backbite or badmouth their neighbor. “LORD, who may abide in Your tabernacle a Who may dwell in Your holy hill? He who walks uprightly, And works righteousness, And speaks the truth in his heart; He who does not backbite with his tongue, Nor does evil to his neighbor, Nor does he take up a reproach against his friend” (Psa. 15:1-3). Furthermore, God promises a long, blessed life to those who keep their tongue from evil. “Who is the man who desires life, And loves many days, that he may see good? Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking deceit” (Psa. 34:12-13).

Accountable for all our Words
Jesus warned that our words are so important that they will actually determine our condemnation or justification. He said we will be held responsible for all our words, even our careless, idle words. “But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned” (Matt. 12:36-37).
Elsewhere, Paul cautioned believers to disallow any corrupt or worthless talk to come from our mouth. Only those things which lift-up, encourage, and are gracious should be expressed to others. “Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers” (Eph. 4:29).
Obscenities, profanity, cursing, dirty jokes, or making fun of others is not something that should ever be found in the mouth of a believer. “Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving” (Eph. 5:4 NIV).

Confess and forsake Sin
Thank God there is a remedy for mouth sins. His grace and forgiveness is available for all manner of sin, whatever it may be. Jesus will forgive all sins that we confess to Him (1 John 1:9) — but we must also “forsake” them. “He who covers his sins will not prosper, But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy” (Prov. 28:13).
The scriptures tell us to “repent” of sin (Rev. 3:19), that is to “turn away” from sinful behavior. True repentance means that we will make every effort not to repeat our former sins and will seek to walk in the nature of Christ. Since mouth sins really originate in the heart (Matt. 12:34), repentance requires a change of attitude within. Such was David’s desire in his repentant prayer. “Hide Your face from my sins, And blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, 0 God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me” (Psa. 51:9-10).
If you realize that your tongue is out of control, seek His forgiveness and allow Him to change the attitude of your heart and your mouth, so they will be pleasing to Him. “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, 0 LORD, my strength and my Redeemer” (Psa. 19:14).

Slumber Party!!!!!!!

This is going to be SOO much fun tonight. My nephew and niece are going to be sleeping over at our house tonight. So, we're going to have a good old-fashioned slumber party with all kinds of fun things, sleeping bags, etc!!!!!! The kids are really looking forward to it. Normally Caleb always asks to stay with me when he's down and the same was true for this time too. He loves his KK! :) It was such a movie moment when he first saw me at the airport. We spotted each other from across baggage claim and he exclaimed across the way," KK!!!!!!" He started running for me and I bent down and he ran into my arms and we hugged so tightly. I hadn't seen Caleb or Caitlyn for that matter since August. It had been so hard and I was sooo glad to see them!!!!! It was AWESOME!!!!!!

Tomorrow we're having a special day with them again. Since they were not allowed to come down for the wedding; then a friend of ours came up with the idea of having a "second wedding." I LOVED the idea and asked Les about it. So, that's what we decided to do. Although it is VERY small; we'll have fun. We're going to all be wearing shorts and the theme is patriotic. My dad is going to be the officiator since he's a licensed preacher. Caleb and Caitlyn will be the ring bearer and flower girl. Les and I are going to walk down the driveway together.........LOL and then renew our vows. The kids are looking so forward to it!! To top it off; we're going to have Dickey's for lunch. We had Dickey's for our rehearsal dinner when we really got married! I think we're going to have all of about 10 people there.........hahahaha Definitely MUCH different than our wedding back in October!!!!!!! I wanted to do something special for them since they were not able to make it and Caleb had been looking foward to it. When we told Caleb what we were going to do he asked my mom," Is KK going to marry Uncle Les again?" Of course! We all laughed. I thought to myself, "I wouldn't trade Les for the world - I love that man!! :)" Then tomorrow night to continue in our fun we're going to go the rodeo out in Wolf City. YEEHAW!!!

I know that we'll be taking pictures of tomorrow and I'll post some when I get them from either my camera or my parents. :)

Yay, today is like a Friday for me since I'll be off tomorrow for a 3 day weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM!!

Today is my mom's birthday - she's 57 years old. Still a spring chicken..........:)

She is a wonderful woman who is a strong Christian, loving, always there for us, instructs us by the Bible in the way we should go, fun and serious. She has so many aspects to her God-made character! I'm so proud that I can call Marsha Jewell Johnson MY mom!!!!!

Tonight we're having a little surprise birthday dinner over at our house. It'll be fun!! My niece and nephew are in town and I think that this might be the 1st time that they have been here for her birthday. What a GREAT present to her - she couldn't ask for anything better than to have her grandkids (Caleb & Caitlyn), granddogs (Bear & Kodiak), her husband (Bryan), kids (Christopher & Kimberly), and new son (Les - my husband) altogether for her BIG day!!!!

Mom, I love you and I'm so glad that God made you my mom. I would not be the person I am today without you in my life. You mean so much to me! Thank you for all that you have done for me and all that you will do for me in the future. You're always there when I need to cry, to laugh, WHATEVER I need - you're there! Thank you!!

By Popular Demand ;)

Here are some pictures for your enjoyment of our hard work; which has definitely paid off!!!

The picture above is part of the floor just sanded and the other part is the floor that we had stained. I loved seeing the change take place. While I did love the floor that was just sanded - I love it now too. It's so pretty!!

Here are the pictures of the floors ALL DONE!!!!!!!!! What a relief to be all finished and enjoying the new living room. :) We even arranged the furniture different and like this a lot better. The room to us feels bigger. Also, I cut the curtains off and hemmed them. I did not like them long and so Les told me that he liked them cut-off too, so I cut and sewed them to fall right above the wood-framed windows.

This picture above was taken from the kitchen and looking into the living room.

This picture was taken from the other side of the room and you can see the doorway from the kitchen (behind Kodiak).

RIP

I haven't had time to write a blog about the double homicide that happened last Thursday early in the morning. I was at home watching the news at lunch time when I was somewhat listening to the news. I happened to look up because of what was on the news and lo and behold I knew one of the guys who's picture was on the news.

A very tragic homicide occurred early in the morning on Thursday, June 19th in downtown Garland, TX.

Two young men, both Christians, were murdered. Matt Butler, 28 years old, the man I know, was shot and killed. Steve Swan, 26 years old, the man Les knows, was shot and killed as well. The murderers stole Steve's car; which was later recovered in Texarkana, TX.
Here is an article of the event: http://www.guidelive.com/sharedcontent/dws/ent/stories/zionmurder_0619gl.1c02b6d0.html

Please keep the Butler and Swan families in your prayers. I know that Matt's funeral is today at FBC of Dallas, but not sure of Steve's. I know that Matt leaves behind a wife and 2 kids (1 yr old and 2 yr old). I am not sure about Steve. Les says that Steve was a very smart young man and he remembers him from working with him at Sears several years ago.

Although this is a very sad time - I hope that many will find our Lord and Savior. Matt's wife has been able to share the Gospel on the news and many will hear.

*~*~*UPDATE*~*~*

There was a joint funeral today for Matt and Steve.

A friend of mine told me that it was beautiful and that there were

a lot of people there to honor these 2 young men.

Cadence & KK

This is such a cute picture of Cadence and I. Cadence is one of my best friends' little girl! Her birthday is only 5 days before mine.......:)

They were down visiting family in TX; they live in Vegas. It was great seeing Christy and Cadence. Thank you, Christy for all the support that you have given to me!!!

Love ya and see ya soon!!

Cracked Windows

So you're probably thinking now that I have a cracked window - I don't! I left my windows cracked so that it wouldn't be so hot when I got into the car. Well, if you live in the DFW area you know that we had some VERY strong storms. I ran out to my car at lunch and didn't realize that they were cracked until I sat down and my bottom was wet.......hahaha I looked at the windows and thought,"OH NO, I left them cracked this morning." Oh well, too late to get mad, so I hurriedly got the car started and shut those windows quick!!! LOL

That's all for now - I am super busy at work, but I did want to write this down before I forgot.........hahahaha

Have a great day!

What a weekend

The floors are all done and the furniture is back in the living room!!! I haven't taken a picture yet b/c my camera batteries died and I left them recharging yesterday. I will try to get some good shots tonight, but no promises. :)

On Saturday, Christopher (my brother) and I decorated cookies for Father's Day. We had a lot of fun and we made shapes of sail boats, hearts, planes, tulips, etc. We had fun and didn't make that much of a mess..........LOL

Les and I also went out to a party at the lake and had a really good time. We ate Dickey's, listened to a live band, watched kids jump off the top of the party barge into the lake, and then danced some while others karaoked. We had a SUPER fun time!!!!!!!!!!!

On Sunday we celebrated my eating lunch at Red Lobster (I have been wanting seafood for a few days now), so we went there.

We celebrated Father's Day with my parents last night and really had a good time. We cooked out, played games, and chatted.

Now, I'm heading home - we're taking the boat out tonight!
