S.O.B

No... not THAT... S.O.B = sister of the bride!!! That's right - Jay and Janae are finally engaged! He totally surprised her Thursday night with the proposal. She and I are both pretty difficult to surprise, so what better way to do it, than on a date she had planned? I'm so happy for them and can't wait to celebrate and help. The wedding will be sometime next summer, mostly likely July or August. So fun!

Aside from that, I've been really busy with work. Lots of meetings and things as I transition to a new position. Plus, with school starting in a few weeks and freshman moving into the dorms, it's always busy this time of year. I'm sneaking out on some of the busy-ness this year though - Ben and I leave for California on Friday!!! I am so excited. I'm looking forward to seeing good friends there, as well as seeing some parts of the state I have not seen yet. I think we're taking the laptop, so I'll try and update as we go.

Hope you all enjoy the last week of summer!

June's Legacy

4 years ago next week, my maternal grandma passed away. She was an incredible woman who had a heart of gold and touched many people's lives. In her memory, a woman who cultivates lillies created a new variety and named it "June's Legacy" in honor of her. Each family received one of these plants, and every time we look at it, we are reminded of what an incredible woman she was.

Two years ago, my mom transplanted it to a new place in the yard, and last year it did not produce many flowers. This year, however, it is flourishing and producing so many beautiful blooms. Last weekend I stopped out there to take a few pictures:

Redneck Olympics

Seeing how I finally have a night at home - and am spending it watching the REAL Olympics, I figured it'd be a good time to post some pictures from the Redneck Olympics.








The last picture is of Randy showing off his prize. The winning team members each got a scratch off lottery ticket... no one won anything though.

The evening ending with a fundraiser poker tournament for Sportspersons Ministries International. It was fun, as it is every year... I made it to the final table. I think I finished in 5th - not too bad. My hubby finished in first for the second year in a row and won $100!

Up next... the Redneck Olympics!

crazy busy

this week has been crazy-busy!!! We've been gone pretty much every night, and we'll be out at the Moes family cottage all weekend. Ben's grandparents, aunt, uncle, and cousins are in town to celebrate his grandparents 60th anniversary. I promise I'll post more redneck pictures early next week.

Have a great weekend!!!!

Wordle... kinda fun!

Check THIS out! You type in a website (I used my blog), and it creates a word picture using words from this site. Kinda fun if you're bored :).
