Where are the rumors (and a little of this and that)

Here we are again on another Friday. It seems it is the only day I find the time to post. Since I still don't have high speed access I find that when I have computer time I would rather check in on all of my favorite blogs, see the latest rumors and look for houses than to post about what I am up to. I had a group of photos I wanted to include but Blogg#r isn't acting right this morning so only two attached. But since it is Friday I wanted to start by posting a picture of Chase for the local paper. This was from alumni night. Tonight we head across town in the rain to play KCD.

Last week Mike and I decided to take a little last minute trip to Florida. The picture below is one I took of one of the many beautiful sunsets we saw. We had hoped that we would have a house by now and that we would have this week to work on it but since we still haven't had any luck we spent the week relaxing on the beach (didn't hurt my feelings). It was just a wonderful week with the weather staying in the 80's.

The trip was wonderful but I came home to some horrible flu bug and was sick for the past week. It is never fun going back to work with chills and vomiting. Oh well, got over it and am feeling much better today.

While I was gone my niece Courtney got her licence so if you are traveling in Louisville be very careful (just warning you!) Just kidding Court, congrats! Charlee went to her first high school dance, I'll post a picture when I can. How can she be that old! Ethan got his first touchdown in flag football and Stevie got her roundoff back handspring! I was only gone a few days and missed all of this! It made me sad to think of how quickly time goes by and all the special things all of kids do. It made me even sader to think that Emma may be born now and that Mike and I are missing her first months and maybe even year of her life. I think about all the firsts we are missing but can't wait to have all of these special moments with her in the future.

Yesterday I was off work and my Mom stayed home from the office. It was a wonderful day to just hang out at her house and talk and enjoy a whole day together. I have enjoyed all the time we have got to spend together while we have been staying there and will be sad to leave when we finally find our new home. While we were sitting around talking Mom noticed swarms of ladybugs flying toward the house. I took a few pictures but it doesn't justify the number of ladybugs out there. I started thinking right away that maybe this mass number of ladybugs just might mean that there will be a huge number of referrals this month (hey, a girls gotta dream). I will just have to keep refreshing the Rum*r Queen site for any rumors. Even though we are still 42 days out we are getting closer and now there are a lot of my bloggy friends that are right around the corner. So come on CSA@, lets have a big month!
