Family Reunion

We had 21 people over today at my inlaws' for a BBQ. I corralled them all for a family pictures. I think we did pretty good for a "watch the blinking light and smile!"

He's home!

Surprise!!!

Now that Paul won't have interent connection for the day, I can share my excitement with you. No, no baby on the way. But wouldn't that have been news!

After 15 years of driving the same vehicle, Paul is getting a new truck! We've been talking about this for a couple years. I've called several dealers with my specifics:

• 2001 or newer Nissan Frontier
• 4-door
• short bed
• non-metallic blue

Every dealer was telling me they didn't have one, and that was it. I called Gilbert Auto because I had a secret shop phone call to make. I liked these guys, but had to call on a new Jeep. When I got there I told them what really brought me there. I did tell them that I was indeed car shopping. Within an hour they found online the truck I wanted. It was in Utah, but they would have it shipped up that next week. I was hoping the truck would be here Friday so Paul could have it before he got home that night, but it wasn't in yet. I got the call this Monday the 16th it was in and would be ready in a couple days after they detailed it. I went in Wednesday, signed paperwork, and brought it home.

Paul is on his way home today from another trip, so he doesn't know about it (unless he got all detective on me and found out). So when he pulls in tonight at 6:30, he'll find out. I'm totally giddy over it.

The great thing is that we are paying cash for most of it and I took out a small $4000 loan that I'll have paid off in less than 18 months since my van will be paid off in about a month. Cool, huh?

Relay for Life, 2008

I didn't know it, but I was suffering from strep throat during this event, so I didn't have as much fun as before. But it was still a great time. I don't have our group's total for fund raising, and will let you know later. Thanks for your support.

Here's a new one...

We get about 5 emails a day saying we are a beneficiary of some $5million and we just need to send all our personal information to them to get the check. This is a new one to us;

Fortunately, you are listed among the beneficiaries of this gesture and approved for this payments as one of the scammed victims in the last ten years. As a compensation therefore the UNITED NATIONS With the support of WORLD BANK and IMF approved paying 100 victims of the internet, telephone and postage scams.

Winging their way...

Mom and Dad are en route to Africa right now. Prayers for their safety would be appreciated. They had to circle DC for 30 minutes because there was a tornado. No problems for them, thankfully!
