DDA Chapter 27

Deb - What an awesome thing for the school to do! Wow.

Theresa - I'm so sorry things are such a mess at work. I hope things move forward smoothly soon and there's no backlash on the complaint.

 

[Glynis]

Deb - That is awesome! I love hearing stories like that! It renews my faith!

Theresa - I'm so sorry that things went downhill for you! I think you did the right thing, and I'll be praying that there's no backlash for you! Sorry that your ankle is still hurting, too. Wish I could do more!

Good morning, DDA!

Yesterday Bob and I drove to Richmond (Chester, actually) to visit my very best friend from college. Do you think we had a good time?

 

[PNO4TE]

Deb - people can really be nice, can't they? Sometimes we tend to forget that and it takes catastrophes, big or small, to remind us that we are intrinsically well-meaning and interested in the happiness and comfort of our fellow man. (that got a little deep, sorry!)

Theresa -

Our High School Football team played in a town 2 hours North of us last night. The opposing school requested that our team come on 2 busses. During the game they filled an entire bus with food and clothing to help our communities. The thought of their generocity brings tears to my eyees. There is still so many good people in our world.

that is awesome

Wow, watching the 9/11 coverage is really bringing up so many feelings. It is still unbelievable.

The wedding was fabulous. We had fantastic weather. Peter and Katrina were both pretty much relaxed for the most part which was the reason for having it be just immediate family & grandmas. Here are some pictures. Those of you on Facebook have already seen them.

Our new family complete with a son.

Katrina with her high heel blue shoes and "I DO" written on the bottom.

Pete does not like spiders. Katrina has to take care of them. Pete's mom and sister found these cool spiders at Michael's in their wedding colors and just had to buy them. One is on her dress and the other is in her hand. The photographer loved the photos he got of it.

This required a climb for this breathtaking view of Lake Superior. It is on the rock cliffs overlooking Lake Superior. This is Pete's twin brother, Brad. Becky & Brad were the witnesses for them.

They have several aunts & uncles disappointed for not being invited. After seeing how relaxed Peter was, I'm very happy that Katrina was willing to compromise. She would have preferred to have all the family there but knew that Peter really wouldn't be able to handle the stress of that. It was a great week-end.

Vicki,,,those are beautiful pictures. I love her bouquet!!

She chose the flowers and I made the bouquet. She wanted a peacock theme. Pete's corsage had a couple of little peacock feathers as well.

Good morning. I woke up at 4 am and couldn't get back to sleep. I know that I'm going to be tired all day. Ugh. Lots on my mind that I need to take care of this week. Hopefully the components that I ordered for the kids halloween costumes will arrive today as we need them for camping THIS weekend. It sucks not being able to run to town to pick up what you need.



Vicki the pictures are amazing. They look so happy. I absolutely LOVE her dress it fits her to a T Glad that the weather cooperated and that they had the wedding that they wanted.

Elin, Bob looks amazing! His face has really filled back out. You have done an excellent job!

Vicki, Katrina's dress, bouquet, and jewelry are gorgeous. The most beautiful, though, are all the smiles! Congratulations!

Deb, I am sorry that you couldn't sleep. I hope that the stress eases soon.

We are trying the first day of school over again here for all but one elementary school in our school district. Many districts in our area, however, are not able to go back yet. I am glad that we are able to get as many kids back to school as we can. They all need some "normal" in their lives right now.

Good morning.

We had a lovely visit with my parents. They are leaving today after they get the kids off to school for me.

Vicki - everything and everyone looked beautiful! I'm so glad it was perfect for you all.

Good Morning, DDA!

For the second time in 2 weeks, I've dreamed about visiting someone from the DDA. Last night I was at Deb's house. I'm not entirely sure what we were doing, but I think we were helping flood victims. The last dream I was at Tia's. We were trying to go to WDW, but none of the family members around us would get ready fast enough, and we were missing all our time. I wonder who is up for a visit next?

I am going in to the preschool today to get it set-up. We were supposed to have orientations yesterday and the first day of class today, but we pushed that out a week, since we didn't get to do set-up last week.

Good morning, DDA!

Vicki - Those pictures are so great! Beautiful people!!! Thanks for sharing.

Elin - Bob looks fantastic! I agree with Beth, his face has really filled out. All your hard work is showing!

Beth - I'm always up for a visit, dream or otherwise!

Things here are just moving along. Alan is either working or at school all the time, and the kids are busy with school, friends, etc. So, I just try to hold down the fort and make sure there is food when people make it home. I am sure going to need a break come springtime!

That may be the most important job in your family right now, Glynis!

Another busy day. At least the work week is half over. We had an 8th grade parent meeting tonight to discuss class trip/dance etc. Some parents are totally against spending money on a big trip while others consider it a must do right of passage. I guess we decided on a modified big trip depending on how the fundraising goes. I would rather just write a check to cover Hunter's portion and not deal with all the stress that is sure to come with it.

So glad I am not the only one who dreams about visiting DDA family. When I do that I pray extra hard for the ones I visited. Elin, herBob, and Tammi were the last ones that I dreamed about last week.
