Update

Quick update, My bubba turned 9! Can you believe it? He is such a joy, so loving, wonderful and absolutely funny! He always kisses and hugs me and tells me he loves me! He makes me smile ;) Work has been an adjustment. Nights, then days, then nights again. I have been tired and a bit emotional. I hate nights, I miss my family at night so much. Next month isn't as bad, just 5 nights and the rest are days. You know, I find myself consintly saying "hurry up and put your shoes on" "hurry and brush your teeth" "hurry up and get dressed" "hurry and finish eating" hurry, hurry, hurry! Then I stopped and thought, when my men move out and start their own lives, I will long for the days when they were home, and here I am trying to rush them when I want them to stay just how they are. So I will be working on that now, no more rushing, just enjoying every single moment I have with them, whether I am in a hurry or not! My men are my life and I need to just relish in the day with them. Parker passed drivers ed! So November he can get his license! He has to have his permit 6 months! We got him a car, a Honda accord. It will be a good beginner car for him. We start school the 28th, I am not excited about school starting! I like the boys home,even during the fighting! I keep trying to download pictures of Joshua but my laptop wont let me! Ggrr!! The weather has been hot, so we have been at the pool a lot and just enjoying summer. Next week were off to the West side, were going to Lake Sylvia and Fort Warden and Fat Smittys, Saturday we have a family reunion to go to. So we are excited! Well I'm at work and its time to do rounds, only 4 more hours until I can go to bed!!!

So excited for next week!!!! Can't wait to have me some Heather time! You are right about kids growing up. I know it is our job to raise independent people who are able to be wonderful adults like my kids are...but I miss you guys. I miss you as kids doing Double dare or camping, and I miss you as teens camping and laughing and all the busy-ness. It was a busy time. But I wouldn't take one moment away for all the money in the bank.
