Its already June

This year has gone by faster than any other year.  The months keep flying by and I keep trucking along doing the same old each day.  A lot of things have happened in May that I more or less was unable to find time to sit and blog about them.

• A.J. turned 13 (a teenager...watch out we have never had to deal with a boy teenager in the family before)

• Mother's Day of course.

• Brian Graduating (and moving out of Penland after 3years) He had a lot of stuff that had to be stored in my apartment (of course) and then we had to find him a place to live for the 2 week break between his new apartment lease and graduating.

• My Birthday: was spent at work all day and the dinner with Brian. Not the most ideal way to spend the 1st 8hours of my day which brings me to a new tradition; no matter what day my birthday is or what job I have I want to take the day off.



Birthday Flowers from Brian!



Decorations when I came to work....

All of Brian's stuff in my living room before we moved it out.

•  Moving! Craziness...it took about 6hours for Brian and I to move his stuff to his apartment and my stuff to mine. (This was after the already crazy morning of getting keys and starting to move a few things while Brian spent 2.5hours in Belton officially moving all of his stuff out of his parents house. Don't forget the 5.5hours I spent the next day cleaning my old apartment (no thanks to my old roommate). Trying to unpack and do VBS stuff concluded my very long 4 day memorial day weekend.

•  Eli Cooper Smart! Was born on May 31, 2011. So great! and so excited for the Smart Family! Unfortunately the first time Brian and I were able to go by and see Baby Eli he was already 5days old! (thanks to Brian and I working and VBS Training etc etc etc).  Both Beth and Peter have been amazingly supportive and helpful people in our lives and we are blessed by them and so excited for them!

Looking ahead to June: (Which will be just as busy!)

•  June 4th My Step-dad, Lauren and A.J. went to spread my mom's ashes in Indiana.

• June 4th Cody and Brandi got Married (My "adopted" parents oldest son)

•  Arizona June 8th-12th (Grace get married on the 11th!)

• VBS June 12-15th 6:30-9pm each night

•  June 25th Ben and Diana get married

Lots of work and lots of Weddings!   After VBS and all of that craziness hopefully I will finish my apartment and can put up pictures :)
