Stuff



So here is a picture of the back yard. Does it look different? It should - the two big fir pine trees are gone. I can't believe how open and big the yard looks now. But I am very glad that I no longer have to rake up pine needles and pine cones. YEA!!!!!


The next little news is that Dad is doing great! Most of you are saying - was he not doing great? Well, I kind of neglected to tell you that Dad has been having dizzy spells. He has had quite a few tests done and all the big scary ones have come back negative. So now we are looking at his medications. Think he is over medicated. That is the guess right now. But now that the weather is getting a little better - Dad is just happy to be able to go outside.


So the really big news is that my Cristy is getting married. Tuesday, long time boyfriend asked the all important question - OK if I ask your daughter to marry me? Then I had to wait for Friday to roll around for the actual proposal. It is all so exciting but also quick. June 28 is the magic day and allot of planning to do. I have talked to Cristy more this week then all the phone calls since she has moved combined. I love it. Don't want to spoil anything - actually I can't since nothing is definite. She comes home this weekend - was suppose to be to see baby Jack - which she will do, but now we will also be wedding dress shopping and reception place looking. To Nathaniel - welcome to the family. This picture is actually very important. Every grandchild and most great grandchildren have been photographed in this bucket, that is used here as a table. So welcome !!!!!

Wow, the yard looks so different! Very nice! And I'm kinda upset that no one tells us about Granpa's issues. We'd like to be able to pray for him and worry about it a little. No more secrets! And, of course, congrats to Cristy and Nathaniel, and congrats to us all for getting to see her this weekend! I'm so excited!
