Welcome Yuting to the USA

Here is Caedee and Yuting when she first got to DFW. A long trip. It took 2 days to catch up on her sleep.

More later.

one of these days

I am going to figure out what I am doing wrong I am still not getting my comments. Darn and drat!

oh my goodness I forgot

I just realized why I had not had any responses from the blog!!!! We changed our email address so if you have been emailing me and not getting responses I am so sorry. We are with cableone now. It was a package deal that we couldn't refuse.

Sorry about that folks

@cableone.net instead of gcecisp.com

Thanks all

Wow what a whirl wind month this has been. Chris going back to work and our short term exchange students coming. We were blessed that we actually got 2 this trip. I am so glad we had them for the period that we did.

We are getting ready for Yuting to be with us for 10 months. She'll be here Satuday/Sunday.

My work has gotten interesting and I am seriously looking for somewhere else to work. I think that the door is closing and it is time for Stella to move on down the road. I recognize that this was not where I thought I wanted to be. I am going to serious pray before I make a move but I see the end coming.

The picture is Wyatt one of our exchange student. His host family was unable to keep him so he came with us. We had the room and got the blessing too.

Loved having them.

Hi!

Hello everyone. Rae is online now so we have been I-chatting back and forth. If I didn't love my mac before I do now especially being able to say good morning to my Mom and have her show me her new shirt she was proud of getting.

I had a melt down last night. I bought 2 packages of solar lights for my front yard. $$$$ because they changed colors. Well last night we discovered that someone had stolen more than half of them. Plus out of the 4 remaining from the original set there was one uprooted and drop. There was another of the new lights in my neighbor's yard where it was drop when they took the others. Needless to say, I was upset that someone would steal them and secondly Rae had laid them out and put them right where she thought they needed to go. It was the last thing she did for me before she left the state.

Well tonight Chris got online with Home depot and ordered me 10 black tier lights that come in a kit but they are not solar so if they steal one they will have to cut the wires, etc. I was very happy that he was willing to do that for me. I wish we had enough to do down both sides but one project at a time. LOL. They are just cheap plain lights but hopefully they will leave them alone.

Caedee got her ACT scores back in and was not happy that she didn't score better in some areas. She thought she had the english nailed but they didn't mark it as well as she wanted.

We had some friends come in and go shooting with Chris and Caedee today. She did wonderfully with the pistol not so much with the rifle. Which I find surprising.

Rae got her hair cut and it is really cute I can't wait to get pictures up.

The dog walking is going wonderfully I am losing weight and the horses err I mean dogs are behaving better than ever. I guess working off that extra energy is good for all of us.

Chris goes back to work next week. I hope things go well for him.

I hope you all have a great week. I promise I'll work on pictures later. Time for bed.

Good night

Nesa's Blog Challenge

Ok if you go to www.thetreasureboxclub.com you will see that the message board is a lot of fun and friends galore. Nesa has started a blog challenge and I am taking her up on it for this week anyway. I'll do my regular blog entry on Fri/Sat or Rae can keep up with the happenings.

Challenge:

Since this month's kit is birthday themed, how about a scrap/blog challenge regarding those milestone birthday's. You know the ones i'm talking about: sweet 16, 18 and on your way, 21, 30, 40, etc. Which one of these "milestones" was the one that stands out the most to you?

Ok Milestones -

16 - Met the man who would become my husband
18 - Graduated H/S and started college
21 - Living in Lubbock, Texas with Chris and our Friend Kim joins us for a short period of time
30 - and Just given birth to my second child - H/S what?!!!
40 - Celebrated on a cruise to Mexico and scuba diving in Cozumel nothing like it in the world!!!
45 - Wait - when did that happen?!?!?! Last year?!?! Are you kidding?? where was I?


Memorable - Any involving my kids were memorable.

Thank you Nesa -

Greetings all!

Yesterday was fun filled day and just too busy. I was off work and Chris, Caedee and I made a run to the Asian Market for necessities. I even found pre cut meat for my Bulgogi. Woo hoo. I am going to try my kimchi recipe again now that I know what I did wrong the first time. However Chris doesn't seem to mind he keeps eating it like no tomorrow.

((((Wave to Rae)))) Hi baby girl!!! I loved the picture of you in your new place with Shadow. It looks like both of you are having a good time.

Things are going as well as can be expected for Chris he is still on schedule to return to work on the 16th.

Please pray for a friend of ours, Tom. He is recovering from cancer surgery.

Well I hope you all have a great week and I'll catch up with you all later.
