We are ready to "hit the road!" I don't think I've ever been as prepared for a trip as I am for this one. The house is clean, bags are packed, truck is loaded, and all that's left is us to leave. We are going to a high school graduation at 7:00 before we leave, so it will be a little weird to sit around for a couple of hours since everything is already done. I'm looking forward to actually cooking a decent dinner before we leave so we don't have to eat fast food on the run!
Y'all have a great weekend! Eat lots of yummy cookout food (but in moderation)!! ;)
Happy Memorial Day!!

Ahhhhhhchhhoooooo!
Grr...my allergies are driving me nuts this morning! Would have liked to take a Benadryl and gone back to bed!
Good news - got a call from the taxpayers advocate office yesterday. Looks like our original tax forms posted this week, so the advocate is sending our amendment over immediately for their review. As soon as they approve the amendment, she is going to schedule our direct deposit for our return. This should free up our account to receive our stimulus rebate check on hold as well! Her goal date is by June 24. That's alot better than the Sept 1 date we were give originally! It's about time - we only filed on January 31!!!

Song #1 of Skyler's 2nd piano recital. She has improved so much this past year! Song #2 hasn't been uploaded to the computer yet, but will be added soon.
For some reason, it won't let me insert the movie directly into my post, so here is the link to her performance.

Hurry Up!
I am so ready for the end of today! We had a big birthday celebration for all the spring bdays in our department - they had Pei Wei & it was so good. I need a nap!
Summer's Here!
Tomorrow is the last day of school for our area! We did it - we survived 2nd grade!! Skyler finished strongly - barely missing honor roll! Given the many twists and bends this year, we are very proud of how hard she worked.
We are so excited & so ready for the weekend to hurry up and get here! Friday night, we will be attending graduation for 2 of our high school seniors and then heading out of town to my parents for the weekend. Sunday afternoon, my 4 best high school friends and their husbands/children will be coming out to my mom's house for a reunion cookout. One of the girls is leaving for Hong Kong next month. She & her husband will be teaching over there!
This summer will be a very busy summer. June 5-7, we have our annual Joy of Living teen conference in Atoka, TN. On June 9, we leave for LA with a group of junior kids for the first week of church camp - this is Skyler's first year as a camper!! Chris leaves again on June 23 with a group of teens - the kids & I will stay behind for this week. July is busy with preparation for our Vacation Bible School starting on the 21st. Our VBS wraps up Friday the 25th, & we leave early the morning of the 26th headed to Wilson, KS for another week of VBS. This is our missions trip for the year. We're back home on Aug 2 & Skyler starts 3rd grade on Aug 7!!! Summer break won't last long for her! We are also planning a trip to Nashville to see my brother when he comes in for a break from Iraq mid-Aug & a trip to Pensacola to "deliver" a college student for fall semester on labor day weekend!
