school

Go Columbus East
Friday August 14th 2009 school started. It was hard but I love to go to school because it was about time for it but Iam weird like that. The first day was so much fun because see friends that you have not seen for long time. The thing that I dislike about 1st day of school is all the teachers talking about the rules. I like being a Jr in high school because a have a year lift and all the things we can do know. we can go to prom.I ask myself this it feels like the school have more people in it.

Independence Day!!!!!! and before

I hope we all can remember what this day is all about.

I know it has been along time since we have been on but a lot of things have been going on. Like a lot of us are doing now that school is out and our children are home. I have been trying to keep karrie busy on the days that she doesn't work. We took Mom to the doctor the other day for her falling and they had a MRI taken on her brain and it showed the she has some spots so tomorrow we are going to see a head doctor and see what they think they are. Karrie is getting happy about her trip she will be going on the 8th until the 10th. I am going back to the pain doctor on the 28th for another treatment to see if this will help with the pain. I am taking Donald back to the doctor on the 14th so they can check him out then he will go to the same head doctor on the 21st. So has you can see it will be a very busy month if you look at my calendar about every day I have something going on. I hope everyone will go and do something fun on this day that will help us to remember what this day is all about. Just addition to the July 1st. We took Mom to the doctor and the said she was just fine that the spots on her brain is do to age that the would be worried if she didn't have any that as we age our brain gets smaller. He is getting a utasound of your neck to see if everything is fine there. After Karrie got off work on on the 3rd her and I went and seen the fireworks at the airport by the College here. It took us an hour to get home when we only live about a minute away.The music was my favorite because there were country music that I like. Today is the fourth and we are all home just taking it easy and later we are going to have a cookout if it quites raining. They had a thing on the radio about today and what the flag means and it makes me think of The Star-Spangled Banner the first verse says:

Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light. What so proudly we hailed at the twilingt's last gleaming. Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight. O'ver the ramparts we watch, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets red glare, the bombs brusting in air. Gave proof thru the night that our flag was still there.

O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave. O'ver the land of the free and the home of the brave?

It makes me proud that I live in this free country and that I can do and see anything I want. I am thankful for the men and women past,present, and furture that are and will fight for our freedom.

SCHOOL OUT!!!!!!!!

Today was the last day of school and we are so glad. I went and had lunch with Karrie and her lunch friends they will all get together for a pool party on Thursday. They just couldn't wait one day before they seen eachother. We made cookies for the party after she got out of school. It has rained all day off and on. We knew it would because the young women left for camp today. Karrie didn't want to go because she would have been a leader and she said she is more of a follower than a leader. It will be a year on Sunday that the flood happen and I think that has a lot to do with it also. I called them today to see about the house and they still don't know when they are going to be able to get in there to see what they can do. I just hope we are in there by the time this next year.

Graduation Parties and more

We have three graduation parties to go to this weeek-end plus an Missionary Open House on Sunday. Went to the pain doctor on Thursday and he did a pain releave surgery on me and it made me pain free for about two hours then the pain came back and it was like nothing had happen that day but I had more pain to deal with because now it hurts to sit down and my whole body hurts. I have been working hard in trying to get more of my family history in my computer but it hurts to do this so I do a little at a time then I have to stop. I haven't been able to sub for the school this whole week and they only have three days left and they are out for the summer can't wait.

Service Project for Stake and things during the week

This week we had a very hot week it has been in the 80's. I went to the doctor twice this week one for my shoulder that has been popping and on my birthday for the pain in back and leg. Both of them put me on pills that seem to help but make me tried all the time. Our two wards did a service project for our stake. We went to our most cemetery that is used and took pictures of the graves for the site for finf a graveand our local Genealogical Society. We did the first 19 sections on the north end of the cemetery. And it is the older part of the cemetery. There is 91 sections. Then they have other places for people that are sectioned off. Karrie and I worked with a person from other ward and then our ward missionaries help. I wrote down the names she took the pictures and Karrie cleaned off the graves. We did about three rows of names and it took us about two hours then we had to leave. We have graduation open house after church.

Half Day of School

Karrie has two half a days at school because the Senior's have to do their Senior projects these two days before they gradulate. So I took her out to lunch at McDonald's of course. Then I went and got my hair colored for my birthday since I have to go to the doctor on my birthday for the pain in my leg. Happy Birthday to all of us in May. I had to add the Google that's what it looked like today it makes think that summer is not to far off I HOPE!!!!!!!!
