Memorial Day and A Great Deal!

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day. Jeff and I spent the weekend in NC with his family. Since Jeff's mom and step-dad live on a golf course...we spent Saturday at the pool while Jeff, his brother, Jimmy and step-dad, Allen played golf. I was telling Cathy (Jeff's mom) how nice it was to just spend the day relaxing by the pool while Avery, our niece, went swimming. On Sunday we spent the afternoon with Jeff's dad and step-mom. We went to church with them and ate lunch at their house. The church they attend is a large church with a great pastor and an awesome choir. It was nice because during the service they did a tribute to all the military and honored a mother and father who, recently, lost a son in Afghanistan. I couldn't help but think of our son, and how hard it would be to support him if he decided to join the military. Don't get me wrong...it would be a honor to have a son serving in the military, but the worry would be horrible weight to bear. I know that I would have to put him in God's hands if that is the career God calls him to pursue. God help me if that happens.

A couple of weeks ago, Mom and I went shopping and did some stopping on the way for YARD SALES! I LOVE YARD SALES!!! Actually, my entire family does! About 20 of us travel to IN to my aunt's house every year in June and we yard sale throughout different neighborhoods all weekend long! I'll never forget the first time Jeff went with us. Now, he wills and deals with the best of them! So...back to my story...after a couple of stops, mom and I found a lady with little boy clothes and this is a picture of everything we bought for $10...yes...I said $10! Like I said before...I LOVE YARD SALES!!!

BTW...I am 24 weeks and 1 day! Happy 6 months to us!!! Our life is going to be more hectic in the next several months. I start summer break tomorrow...and this month we will celebrate our 3 year wedding anniversary, Jeff's birthday, vacation with my family, painting and putting down new carpet, ordering furniture and baby bedding. Next month will be our Family and Friends baby shower! Exciting!!!

Warmest,

Michele
