Trying to get Back in the Groove!

 It's been a wild, hectic, emotionally challenging, life altering month around here. Don't want to go into too many details, but the "high lights" were that my husband lost his job a few weeks ago and I have a skin cancer on my nose....yes, those are the highlights! I can boldly proclaim that we serve an AWESOME GOD as He has given us such a calmness and peacefulness and even downright joy in the midst of many trials!

This past weekend was prom for Tyler. He had no intention of going and really isn't involved in any high school goings on at all, as he's pretty much done with all that! He loves working and going to the community college, so I haven't had many senior photo ops!

Thankfully his dear friend, Joci, talked him into going to the prom! She has a Jr./Sr. banquet at her school and really wanted to go to a "real prom"!. They decided to go the Monday before prom and went out shopping on Tuesday night! Tyler bought himself a suit, tie and some lovely white Vans for the occasion. He bought the ticket and they were set! They didn't want to spend a lot of money, so they decided to forgo the flowers, had a "nice" meal at Burger King and I took the pictures!


I think they make a pretty cute couple!

 These are completely out of order...don't know why, but we'll just go with it!!

 Would have been nice if he'd washed his car, considering the white dress!!

 I think he's pretty handsome!!!

Prom ticket = $60.00!! Can't remember what the cost of mine was way back when! I think the juniors always put the prom on for the seniors.

The pretty shoes!!! Joci's heels were a good 4" high and a little difficult to navigate in the grass!

Got out the chalkboards!

Did some climbing!

Liked the matching nail polish and the flowers on her thumbs!

A fun night was had by all!

A little bittersweet as this is one of the "lasts"! Graduation is just around the corner!

Almost there...

We finally got our new computer...yea!!! So last night I sat down to blog, organized what pictures I wanted to post, went to load the pictures and "GASP" - there is no card reader on this thing! What is up with that????? Total frustration. We had a guy from my husbands work build this for us and he did amazing things!!!!! He's 23 and brilliant in the techy department. He obviously, does not have a blog, because he didn't cater this thing to my needs!!!!! I know nothing about computers, so did not feel it necessary to tell him how I wanted to use it. Hubby is contacting him today to see what's up. Thinking I'll have to buy a card reader. Thanks to everyone who continues to comment and leave me nice little notes though...you are too kind!!!! So, use your imagination ladies!!! This month: Celebrated 26 years of "wedded bliss" with my honey... Watched my "baby" turn 17... Watched my other "baby" turn 22... Had my 22 year old move back home... prayers please!!! Worked way too much... Went to Seabold Vintage Market with my sweet SIL and got some treasures... Got my new furniture for my sewing room, but alas, no time to sew... Mowed the lawn for the first time... Started taking my allergy pills... Got new glasses, a haircut and some highlights... Am off to Hawaii tomorrow with my honey, leaving the 17 and 22 year olds together...could be disastrous!!! Hope to be back soon...thanks for sticking with me!!
