Be Careful Who You Open Your Door To Late At Night!

Thanksgiving Sunday!

(More pictures below.)
We had a wonderful "Thanksgiving Sunday" at the church yesterday!

There was a really good spirit in the services and we had a dinner after church.

I brought my camera but got sidetracked and forgot to take pictures! Bummer!

Sis. Les did an awesome job decorating the tables. She had fall orange table cloths and vases with trendy fall flowers and ribbons on the table! It was so festive and happy looking!

The food! let me tell you, we had so much food! It was great. No one should of went hungry. All kinds of casseroles and desserts.

The church supplied the turkeys and ham. (I bought too many, but next time I'll know.)

Sisters Lynn, Raines, and Lowery cooked the turkeys and I was so thankful. They did an excellent job.

Sis. Lynn was in charge of the kitchen. She always does such a great job! As did all her helpers!

Les always has my back and she will never know how much that means to me!

The ladies at Antioch are good to me.

Vic, however is another story all together. She announces that the ham tastes sudsy! It didn't taste right, who made it.

Well, I MADE THE HAM!

Mean thing. She had me going. Finally I said, "Well they liked it at Portland!"

The table busted out laughing. Vic was pulling my chain!

Lisa and Lori were so very sweet to bring a sugar free cake and gave me half to take home!!!!!

Chelsei, my self-appointed mom and doctor LOL!, made sure I didn't go into a diabetic coma from all the chocolate and sweets. I love it!

It was a good dinner.

Not bad considering that my pastor only told me last Sunday that as church hostess he wanted me to plan a Thanksgiving Dinner this Sunday!!!!!

I learned a lot and got some wonderful advise that I will use next time!!!!!!

Sunday Night service was Fantastic. Bro. Hall was suppose to preach but the Lord began ministering to needs in our church and people were blessed. It blessed me to see others get so blessed. We need each other. We need to stand in the gap and be courageous and valiant in the Lord.

Sister Emily sang, "Pray On!" I love Sis. Emily. She had such a sincere testimony and request.

Bro. Josh played his saxophone. We are really blessed with young people who desire to please the Lord.

After church we were invited to go to Taco Bell! I haven't been to Taco Bell in a long time and it was good! I'll be exercising 2x a day after all the food.

I had a first .... Are you ready for this ????

Two of our VLB's asked me to arm wrestle them! LOL! I did pretty good even with Gracee trying to distract me!

I laughed most the night. Morgan taught me how to bust a few moves and Chelsei tried to teach me how to talk British. LOL!

Crystal taught me what not to say in New York!Ha!

We had a long drive home and then I crashed!

God is good!

Saved the best for last! LOL!

I'm So Excited, I Just Can't Hide It

First of all I went to Curves today to be tested to start the new Curves Smart Machines. That thing makes you work! I wanted to throw up!! I had to go three rounds and these lights tell you if you're working hard enough!
Hey! I am just glad I get out of bed every morning and then I have this smarty little box telling me to pump up my exercise more! AGHHHHHHHH!
Well I had to get weighed and measured. You know all this, "I'm stuck " talk. Well it turns out that I am not stuck, my scale is!!!!! I have actually been loosing weight. I lost 8 lbs since Bethel.
That's a big deal to me!!!! Yeah God!
Then to my surprise I found out that I was over an inch taller than before. They said that maybe as I lost weight my posture got better. Bobby says he can tell a difference.
Bobby, my dear sweet Bobby. Here is the exciting part.

Going back almost 15 years ago :
It was always my dream for my groom to carry me through the door on our Honeymoon. Well when we got married Bobby was a toothpick and although I wasn't heavey, he could not pick me up. Bummer.
He has never been able to pick me up because when he got bigger SO DID I!!

Back to the present:
Today when I got home, we checked our scales and they were messed up! YEAH!!! I was so excited that I just laid a big ole' kiss on him. He got so excited that he scooped me up. I died laughing. I told him, that I've waited all my life to be swept off my feet!LOL!
Poor man! He has had to pick me up off and on all day just for me to know that it was still possible.
He even had to take me outside and carry me through the front door! We laughed and laughed. I cried. it was a big deal to me and it meant so much more that it was a big deal to Bobby.
He is my Prince Charming!!!!

Post of the post of the post!

Well you opened it so who is stranger me or you! LOL!

So He Is Complaining About Me Not Posting Again ...

but he won't let me post the post I want to post. I say we bombard him with phone calls!!!!
Let our Net POST!!!!
Let Net Post It!
Let Net Post It!
"I can't hear you!"
Let Net Post It!
Let Net Post It!

Happy Veteran's Day!

And many thanks to all who serve and have served.

My Daddy.
My friend Allen.
My friend Grace.
My adoptive grandfather, Bro. Thomas.

Many, many, more!

Thank you!

Somebody Is Gonna Be In Big Trouble!

I came home to an email that THIS ...


was being circulated on facebook!!!! Aren't our young people just great! They just love me so much! Can you tell! LOL! ( All jokes aside, it was a cool day! )

Hello Daddy!

It seems the only two people who, to my face, complained that I did not update enough, are complaining now because of what I posted.
So this is an encore performance for my Bobby and my Daddy! :0)

Love ,

Better Now!
I feel so much better! You know the husband that complains because I don't update, well he complained because of my last post!LOL!It's my blog, don't like it, DON'T READ IT BIG BOY! :PYesterday morning I went to Curves in Gallatin to work out. It is about 30 minutes from where we live. It was great. I meet several new ladies and we laughed and laughed. I love to laugh. All crying gets you is a snotty nose and a headache!After I worked out, I went to Wally World.I was craving apples and carrots. (You just have to be me.)They had shirts on sale for $1. The sign just threw itself at me! So I followed its gaze to the shirts. I kept telling this lady how incredible it was that they were just $1. I guess maybe I was over the top because some people were looking at me strangely. (Use to it!:0))She was helping me look. Then she started telling about herself and I about me. Come to find out, she too, has lost weight. Then I found out that she lived in Portland,(I live in Portland.) Her husband pastor's a church in Nashville.(My husband pastors a church in Nashville.) She asked me if I would like to start walking with her in the mornings. (I have been whining because it is not safe to walk alone where I live and I can't get what's his name to walk with me.)I was elated!!! Can't wait to get know this lady!I love meeting people at Wal-mart!This is funny and I am sorry if it offends some, but don't read it if it does.The other day I was looking for some underwear. I like a certain kind I had gotten before. Did you know that they moved the "panty" aisle to the middle walkway of the store??? Of all the dumb things. I mean everyone can see you pick your "drawers" out. I am a pastor's wife, I do not want members to know what kind of bloomers I wear! Or even thinking about it! They don't even need to know that I wear drawers!Now a days they have some interesting bloomers out there! It is humiliating.Well while I was looking this unique lady came up and started asking me about different panties. OK, it was clear that we had different tastes. We where laughing and just acting stupid, then this older lady came up and she had us busting! Come to find out she wears the kind I use to wear, but she couldn't find them, so I helped her locate them. Then the "unique" lady decided that she would try something different and wanted my opinion. Then another lady came up and she was just in a world all her own! I became the underwear consultant. LOL! ( Hey I watch Opra!)We had a traffic jam and people where actually avoiding that aisle!:) It was like a TV show. Sadly I still couldn't find what I was looking for, so when Bobby came I asked him to help me, but Bobby hates the "Underwear" Aisle. (This I know and use it to my advantage often.)He really wanted to leave, so we worked out a deal.I had saw some pretty ones that I liked at JCPenny's, so he said if I would just let him out of the underwear aisle in Walmart, he'd pay extra for the JcPenney ones.I was mean. When we went to JCPenney, guess what door I brought him through .... then I started asking him which ones he liked, he was gone and I got what I wanted without being hassled about money!LOL!He liked my choices ... Well I told you not to read it!Have a great day! Mine will be until "What's His Name" reads this post!Disclaimer: Do not call, write, email or otherwise contact me about the inappropriateness about my post. This will be my response. "CHILL! At least I didn't post pictures!" :0)

Class

I was late again! I went to work out before class and there was a new lady working so she was asking me all these questions, and I didn't want to be rude.

I was only a little late this time. Someone got my seat so I had to sit in another place. Woe as me!!

It was a fun class and I laughed til I had to ... well never mind.

It was on early adulthood. I found out that I am still in early adulthood! Wow!

We talked a lot about LOVE. This girl just didn't understand why her husband gets up and leaves when she trys to tell him about her day. Listen ,,, she is all the time telling us about her week in class and I want to get up and leave 5 seconds into it. I can imagine if you had to hear 24 hours a day! :0)

I could write a book on her life! TOO MUCH INFO PEOPLE!

The instructor asked us to raise our hands if we were 40 or over. If you are 20- 40 you are considered in early adulthood. Well I am 38 so I didn't raise my hand. Honestly I thought that I was the oldest in the class, but guess what .... there are 3 people older than me, but not by much.
Anyway the instructor kept looking at me and saying remember 40 and over. I bet she's thinking I was lying about my age. Now why would I lie about my age? I am proud of my age. I have heard that your 40s could be the best times of your life.

Funny thing that happened:
This really cool acting guy that is nice, but he always acts so intelligent and GQ, passed gas. I was sitting by him and he turned to me face all red and said,"Excuse me!" It was just so funny how he said it and I was trying so hard not to laugh, but I did. I mean we all have to do it from time to time. What's the big deal? It didn't even smell!LOL!

Then some were asked what made them the happiest in the last seven days. I thought really hard. Hmm... was it picking my husband up from the airport after being gone for almost a week ...naw ... was it the beautiful Alaskan angel that Bobby bought for me in Alaska ,,, nada ... was it cuddling with Bobby and watching "The Christmas Shoes" ... I don't think so ... Bet you can't guess what made me the happiest in the last 7 days ....
Drum Roll ......
It was spending all of Bobby's quarters and he being 4000 miles away and all he could do was read about it!

To my Bobby.
Love ,

Gleaners

Gleaners is a service that we have for our children on Wednesday Nights. We memorize scripture, read stories, crafts, snack , just fun stuff!
Bro. Sutton has asked me to direct it. I have missed the kids in Bethel so much that I was really excited to do this!
I planned and prayed and was so eager to get started. Well, Wednesday was my first night.
I quickly learned that I was gonna have to wing it!
My Turkey craft fell apart. We were making turkeys out cookies, frosting, whoopers, peanutbutter cups, and candy corn.
The cookies crumbled, the whoopers and PB's wouldn't stick and well, we just ate them!
The kids liked that better anyway!!!
They were more excited over who got the empty Caprisun box than anything! LOL!
Oh well, I have had 32 years experience working with kids and nothing much surprises me! LOL!
Next week will be different! :0)

Stinking Keys!

Ask me how play practice went .... go ahead ... ask me!
Well since you asked ... I don't know ... because I DIDN'T GET TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was all ready and heading out the door, but couldn't find my keys. I always put them in one of two places ... my purse or on a holder by the door.
Nada, no where. I searched and searched. Even looked in my purse several times.
Bobby was visiting the hospital in Nashville and he couldn't get home in time to let me use his keys, so very humbly I had to call Sis. Amy to let her know that I wouldn't be there.
I was bummed!
When Bobby got home I decided I would go get groceries because, well, we like to eat.
I went to take my ipod out of my purse and it jingled! Wrapped up in my ipod armband was my KEYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In my purse the whole time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I tried to think of anyway I could blame it on Bobby, but I can't figure out a way! (Although I am still trying!)

Getting In Character!

I am so excited about tonight. Play practice! Yeah!
I get to be grumpy and sarcastic ,,, Bobby says that I get to play... me ... hmmm!
We ,, yes I said we,, went to workout this morning (At the gym not Curves. LOL!). It was fun, except when I workout with Bobby he wants to go eat afterwards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This time I was the weak one and got a piece of pecan pie. We were going to half it but it ended up being one of those little tiny round pies in a wrapper. Bobby took one look and said, "It's yours."
I kept saying that I was not going to eat the whole thing no matter how tiny it was, but I did, well almost all of it.
My sugar was low today so I could afford to for my diabetes sake, but I am stuck at needing to loose 20lbs..
I am working out as much as I can and have really tried with my eating, I am just stuck.
I did read that you have to jump start your metabolism every once in a while. So I didn't feel too guilty about the pie.
You want to hear something funny ?????
Some have said I write too much about my weight and it concerns them. Well if I am strange for writing about it, wouldn't it be even stranger for them to spend time reading about it!LOL!
I just have a goal and I want to keep it before me so that I can accomplish it.

Want to hear my ultimate goal???
I, Carol Annette Sutton, want to run in the Music City 1/2 Marathon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have always wanted to do a marathon since we lived in Mississippi. I volunteered in one there but was not able to participate. To me it would be a way of saying "Look what God has done!"
He's healed my body!

Alaska taught me to squeeze all that I could out of life! I want to have all that God has for me! How about you?

Someone once said that they were surprised that I would do the library in a sports theme because they didn't see me as a sports person. I wanted to say, "Jerk, I used to play softball and coached high school volleyball." (OK, I broke my ankle in 3 places sliding into 2nd base ending my softball career and who cares that I really didn't know anything about volleyball but my principal at the time got me a book, I read it and we went to state. I was young, stupid and wished I could do somethings over, but at least I did it!) I like sports. Fat people can be very active thank you!
I do use jerk with a smile because I have a lot of respect for the person who said this, I just wanted to snock the smirk off his face! (No AD, it wasn't you! HA!)
"Oooh! I 'm telling. Sis. Net wanted to snock someone." Got news for ya, Sis. Net wants to "snock" someone about every five minutes, but I don't. LOL!

I wonder if I am having one of those midlife crisis things. The more I try to be pleasant and sweet the worse I get! I say all this with a great sense of humor. I know that it is hard to tell but I laugh over all this stuff.
When I get upset with someone and want to "snock 'em" I just imagine the shock in their eyes if mild matter me actually just snocked the living snot of them and I get so tickled thinking about it that I am not upset anymore. Jesus would not be pleased if I harmed someone whether by words or hands and neither would Bobby. So I am being good. :0P

Oh, Bobby didn't get mad over the quarters. He thought it was cute. I did leave him some quarters.
If he adds a couple of pennies from our penny jar, he could buy a coke!

Love ya Honey!
Your Bowl of Sunshine,

On A Lighter Note! :0)

My Bobby is home and life is good!!!
I get to play a grumpy old woman in our church's Christmas Play! I can't wait! Practice is tomorrow night. I was so excited until Bro. Sutton reminded me that I have to memorize my lines! Husbands are so encouraging!:0)
We vote tomorrow. Please prayerfully consider your vote.
Bro. Sutton and I are voting for John McCain and Sarah Palin. As a Christian I can not vote for anyone who supports abortion. I will not stand before God and say that I voted to kill babies.
My opinion and my blog, like it or leave it.
That is not the only reason, but the main. Palin was our Governor and we liked her very much. Bro. Sutton was Assistant Finance Director for the City of Bethel and worked some with her office. He found them to be very proficient and respectful. America under Obama is going to be a scary place for Christians. We need to have discernment and be "wise as a serpent" and "harmless as a dove".
Help make a difference and VOTE!

Hey Honey!

Ballad of Netty's Big Red Purse ...

Remember all those quarters you were saving and couldn't quite figure out what to use them for ...

Well I helped you out.

Meet my new red Liz Claiborn purse. Don't worry it was on sale and I had a $10 off coupon and all of your wonderful, shiny quarters!

Don' you think we look good together!!!

It even matches the couch. (Glad something finally does!:0)

Love you bunches! Hurry home ...

I am running out of quarters! :P

See ya tomorrow! (Hope I'm not late picking you up at the airport. JcPenney is having a door buster sale and well, there's still more quarters left.)

Love,

Your Bowl of Sunshine

Netty

PS. Oh and I also saved my gas money that you gave me for a new pair of pants. I drove your truck instead of my van. You might want to fill up before you go to far.:0)

Also I used up all the free food monopoly coupons you had, to save the food money you gave me for a few things I needed (a belt, a couple of shirts). I figured if I did that, ate peanut butter sandwiches and used your quarters, I'd have enough money for that door buster sale. Just trying to save you some money honey! I just love you!

PSS. To all women out there. If your husband went to Alaska for a week knowing how much you loved it and didn't take you with him ,,, wouldn't it sound reasonable, that to ease your sorrows, you'd go shopping with his QUARTERS?

WOW!

I had an awesome day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I finally finished my take home test.
For once I didn't get sick when I took my shots today! Woohoo!
Had lunch with Sis. Amy, Perry, and Abbey. It was fun!!
I went to the mall, got lost going to school and was 40 minutes late for class.
Everyone stared at me when I came through the door.
When I get nervous I laugh or smile. Dummy me start laughing as I was walking through the door. I was so embarrassed, but I had to turn in my assignments or I would have just skipped.
I sit in the very back of the class and had to walk through the classroom to sit down and then my book fell. UGHHHHHH!
Then I realized what the instructor was teaching. Puberty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll be if I didn't do it again! Yep I started laughing. I am sure they thought I was on something. I just saw the humor in my situation. Here I am 38 and feeling the same akwardness as I did when I began puberty!
We got out of class 30 minutes later and I bolted!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then to Walmart! (No I won't go there tonight.:P)
I was getting a red sweater. I got a black belt and a pack of sour icebreakers.
I am home now and just finished chunking the nastiest tasting lean cuisine dinner I have ever tasted! It was on sell and I know why!
I am still laughing with no one to hear me!LOL!
Well tomorrow's another day!!!

Guess What Honey ???

I went JCPENNEY again and you're 4000 miles away and can't do a thang about it! :P

Love,

Better Now!

I feel so much better! You know the husband that complains because I don't update, well he complained because of my last post!LOL!

Blagh!

I feel like upchucking my toenails. Just thought I'd blog about.
You know keeping things updated for the old husband. :P

My Weekend (Yeah, I know, very Original!)

Friday
Spent with my Bobby. He had oral surgery. Bless his heart he was in & out of different dentists all week! I was so hoping the anesthesia would conk him out for a couple of hours so I could get some things done. Are you kidding??? He was HYPER! No rest for the weary!LOL!
I dearly love him!

Saturday
Bobby woke up at 3 am and ... get this ... when I woke up at ... well that's not important ... He had cleaned house, washed, folded and put away clothes, worked on some office stuff and woke me up with a sweet, gentle kiss. Now that is something to blog about!!! The house cleaning was good too! :0)
He knew how much I wanted to go work out so he made it where I could! So he took me to work out and he went to Walmart! After working out we went to Nashville to get some things for church.
Then we went to the church and worked on a few things. I really enjoyed it, I felt more a part.
After that we needed to fill in some time until Micheal's birthday party. His 18th. Bobby and I enjoy so much being around the young people. It is weird because we've known many of them since they were little. Micheal is our God Son, Noah's brother. We are very close to their family. Their mom, Yvonne did something very, very special for me one time that I will never, ever forget.
Anyway back to the story ... we went to JCPENNEY'S because well, since I've lost weight I had absolutely no clothes that I could decently wear. Best & worst problem I could have. Even the new skirts I bought when we first got back are falling on my waist now. I need to loose 20 more lbs and then maintain.
Back to the story again ... (Hey, it is my blog!) I got a new skirt and a pair of black dress boots. They were on sale! I haven't been able to wear dress boots in years. They aren't fancy, but I like them. Oh and I got a dress suit for $69! I am telling you I had to start completely over in clothes.
Now I am out of moo la. Bobby says it is time for job, but I am going to see about selling some of my new clothes that are too big on Craig's list.
Bobby had to get a new PC backpack, thus the reason I got boots! Ha!
After that we went to Micheal's party. It was fun. I enjoyed spending time with everyone. Sometimes you think some one is one way and then you really get to know them and find out that they have many different sides to them. I like that!

Sunday
I actually got car sick! I never get car sick! Ever! I think it was because I took my shot earlier than usual and then waited about eating. Then jumped in the van while Bobby drove!
Interesting ride!!!
Church was really good. Bobby preached on Grace, Mercy and Truth. It was different than I thought it would be. He brought out that because of God's Grace and Mercy he is going to show us the truth and it is up to us to follow it. (OK, that's what I got out of it.)
Sister Tammy, your song spoke to my heart. It was about trusting God. I wished I had a tape of it. It blessed my heart.
We went out to eat with the VLB's and few more. HA!!!
Cinda shot a spit wad in my honey mustard sauce and I shot one back,, (well OK 2) before Brother Sutton reminded me we were in a public place and I was the pastor's wife. Hmm... such responsibility.
Here is a secret about me. I love to laugh and have fun, I am just afraid I will take it too far so I hold back!
We all went to Ruby Tuesdays. I had never been before, it was good. Except I ordered Pomegranate tea. The tea was good but it arrived in a fluted glass. It was like all the young people stopped and looked at me. I so embarrassed. So they poured it in a regular glass for me. Wow!
We had to hurry because Bobby had to catch a plane to ALASKA! Again!
God blessed us. I am a diabetic and even though the weight loss has lowered my sugar, the disease has already caused harm to my organs so I take shots 2x a day plus oral medicine. When we left Alaska our income got cut in half and we are loosing our insurance at the end of this month. My medicine is over $300 a month. I know God can heal me, but until he chooses I will be on this medication (Not open for debate.) Anyway we had been praying about what to do. Bobby's former boss who has moved to King Salmon and asked him to come help with some audit prep. They are paying his way and giving him good pay. Enough that will help us get closer to getting on our feet since our very expensive move and the possibility of another move soon. Thank you Lord!
After I dropped Bobby of at the airport, I went back to the church and goofed off! It was relaxing.
Bro. Andy preached and there was a sweet spirit present. One of the deacons locked up for me so that I could go on home. I took the interstate. I hate the interstate, but its getting better! Two years of sharing a vehicle and driving in a town 6 miles around, has caused me to loose some of my independence. Slowly I am getting it back! :0)
When I got home, I read some and then went to sleep!
That's it! That's my weekend!
Can you tell I have a zillion things to do and just don't want to do any of them????
Oh, I mowed the yard today! (Monday)

Geez ... Bobby!

He said my blog was out of date and that he doesn't go to blogs that don't update at least every two days. Harsh I tell you, just plain harsh.

So guess what baby??? This post is about YOU!!!!!

Ode to my Bobby

You have the most awesome brown eyes with a sparkle of gold,

You are with whom I want to grow old.

I love to look at your hands, even when they're a mess,

they have character and in them I see gentleness.

I am most drawn to you when you least know it,

because you are meek yet a tower of strength and in your arms I fit.

Bet right about now you'd wish I hadn't of updated,

and I suppose now, you won't care if my blog is belated!

So here is to you my only true love, handsome and strong,

in your arms I will forever belong!

How's about them apples, Bobby Sutton?

I am just rotten ain't I? :p

Love,

Your Bowl of Sunshine

Vacationing in Bethel

Bobby went to Bethel to finish up his city work so I tagged along. I wanted to stay a little longer, so he said I could if I found the money. I subbed at the school during the day and worked at Curves during the night. Then I kept my friend's kids while she and her husband where out of town and I bummed beds and showers from other friends! (I sure showed him!LOL!) I had a blast!!!!

It was so nice to be back and it was very hard to leave.

The kids at school where awesome. I even subbed for Yupik once!

One day I was subbing for a kindergarten class. I told them that I was not their Cinderella and that they needed to pick up after themselves. This cute little girl pipes up, "But Mrs. Net, you look like Cinderella." Yep, she was teacher's pet the rest of the day! :0)

I loved subbing for PE! The teacher had really fun things for them to do!! We rocked!

Guess what??? It snowed while I was there! Yahoo!

Working at Curves was the best! I enjoyed working out with the ladies and making displays. Suzs is the greatest!!!

My friend insisted that I use her car the whole time I was in Bethel. I loved her car. I have the best of friends. My last night we had a "girls" party. It was so much fun! Thanks Sadie!!!

The next day my friend drove me to the airport and sat with me until time to board. I was very grateful.

I flew Saturday and Sunday. I headed straight to a member's house to shower from the airport and then got lost trying to get back to church in time for a baby shower, but I made it.

The people were great. I truly love being at Anitoch. They are loving and kind. Very balanced. They told me how much they missed me and how glad they were that I was back! You know, that makes a difference to a Pastor's wife.

I have been very blessed! Tammy, God is good!!!!

(Someday I'll tell of two miracles that God did for me in Bethel, but for now I'll wait.)

This is when I was watching my friend's kids. We made over a hundred cookies. It was so much fun!

Wow! What a ride!

What a Birthday!!!

I had an awesome birthday. Actually it is going to be a whole week of it. I feel spoiled and loved.

I'll start with tonight.

We had dinner with my in-laws. It was very nice and we even saw some friends that we haven't seen in a while.

Afterwards, my now driving nephew met us at Dairy Queen for dessert.

Bobby and my nephew, Stetson, got me an icecream cake from the DQ.

I was shocked and so happy to spend time with my nephew.

Quick, someone call the fire department!

Guess what happens when you put 38 "trick" candles on an icecream cake????

It melts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Earlier in the day we went to my grandmother's grave. She passed away while we were in Bethel and we didn't have the money for me to fly home for the funeral. So this was the first time I have been to her grave.

.She was buried by her first husband, my grandfather, Henry Engle. Yes, he was a minister.

Monday night my family had a party for my cousin's husband, John and me. This is my new great uncle with Bobby. He is a very sweet man. (Both)

These are my twin double first cousins, Trina & Gina, and Trina's daughter, Jessica. Aren't they beautiful!

This is my grandmother and her sister, Aunt Iller. Aunt Iller just recently got married!! Go girl!

I had phone calls and emails and just felt very muched loved. Thanks to all who made this a special day. We are leaving Alabama tomorrow and then on Friday Bobby has a very special evening planned for me. He also greeted me at the airport with a certificate for a deluxe manicure and pedicure. I can't wait.

Thirty-eight has been GREAT!!!
