2 Days in a NUTSHELL...

I'm lying in bed tonight wondering

how I even start

to talk about everything we have had going on over the last two days 
so I decided I would do it in a nutshell.

Yesterday morning my sweet little girl left for 6th Grade

Science Camp.

 This will be her group for the next 3 days!

Seriously she is so little I can hardly believe she is

old enough for such an adventure!

Then I have to remind myself...

she is growing up like the rest of them

and it scares me, excites me, panics me...

and makes life a

TRUE BLESSING!

 *****************************

I'm somewhat...but not TOO much embarrassed to say that

WEDNESDAY night television is my

FAVORITE!
 Therefore, last night I spent almost 3 hours watching my favorite shows on television!

I am a huge

SURVIVOR fan.

I have watched every season and love it just as much as I did when the first season aired.

Did I ever tell you that I got to meet the host of the show

Jeff Probst

while I was at a mall in Scottsdale?

He was visiting his parents who live in Scottsdale and he was out

shopping with them.

He was the nicest guy and was willing to talk about the show for as long as I wanted!

He didn't realize how much I like to talk!

I also got a little tidbit of information from a friend that next season they will be doing an

ALL-STAR-WINNERS

ONLY SHOW
in the fall!

I am truly giddy with excitement!

For me the 2nd BEST show on television is DUCK DYNASTY!

I laughed so hard last night...

for the future I will have to tape Ron watching the show...

you can hear his laugh a mile down the street!

If you aren't watching this FAMILY friendly show...

you are missing out!

****************************

When I drove away from the school yesterday...

after dropping off Katie for science camp
 I started to cry!

I was wishing I had gone to be with her!

Why is it so hard to say GOODBYE...?

Well today...right at the moment I was really missing her I received this picture of her:

             

  And she looked happy...really happy!

I knew all was well!

I was so grateful that she called me tonight to tell me how good she had done on her archery score!

I love my cute redneck girl!!

*********************************

Jacob was in a musical performance at school called

SEUSSICAL the MUSICAL.

But I had to be at court.......AGAIN!

I tried going more than an hour early to court...

hoping and praying

we could be first and they would be on time,

so that I could

hopefully still make his performance.

I didn't and it made me sick!

I contacted my neighbor down the street to record it for me so I could watch it with Jacob later. 
 In the meantime she sent me this picture of him:

       He was happy...and that made me happy!

I can't wait to see it with him!

**************************

Tonight during my RUN...

I ran longer and faster than I ever had...

and I was PROUD!

Proud of myself for accomplishing something that I didn't think my body would ever allow me to do again!

I'm losing the FEAR...

and replacing it with

FEARLESSNESS!
