We have been very blessed again this year so once more I have many things to be thankful for. I will try to make this as short as possible but please know that each day we wake up on the right side of the grass is something to make us pause and give thanks!
First of all I am very thankful that Trav made it thru his surgery great and that the tumors were only necrosis.
I am thankful that our son graduated from high school above average and was accepted to Oklahoma State University.
I am thankful that our daughter made it thru elementary school and is well into her middle school career, and enjoying it.
I am thankful for the great friends that I have! (CooCoo and the Cooch, this is my shout out to you) If not for them there would have been many dark days!!
I am thankful for the many brave men and women that fight for our freedom. They are the ones who make this country great.
I am thankful for the hero’s that have made an impact on our lives and saddened that they were taken from us so soon, but happy and thankful that they are no longer in pain and are walking on streets of gold.
I am thankful that we got to be a part of Jim and Lori’s life. Jim is still an inspiration to me to wake up each day and choose happy, thank you Jim!
I am thankful that we got to share in the life of Geneva, aka Gracie Lou Freebush. She renewed our love of reading and taught us to live each day as if it were our last. To not ever be ashamed of loving God and to make every decision with Him in mind. Much love G.
In short I am thankful for everything. I mean really, I have everything I have ever wanted. I have a Husband that loves me and our kids. I have 2 kids that love us and each other. I have a job working at a school with great kids. And I have more friends than a girl could ask for, and they are the best there is!!!
So for this year, even more so that last, my cup runneth over and Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Ok, so I will be giving alot of info in just this one post so be ready, it will jump around!
First things first, we received news about Bella's eye. The consensus is that the chance of this being bad is 1 in 12500 and since the only definate way to tell is to take a biopsy, the risk of surgery is much greater than our 3 month wait and see method. So until told otherwise, this is a good mole and everything is great!! Thank you for your prayers, thoughts and well wishes, they did not go unnoticed!
Secondly, for the Ping Pong Ball Launcher update. Each class had their winners and so now they are off to the school competition and Bella is one of them, WAAHOO!!!! She is sooooo excited to have made it to here and is looking forward to the next level already, lol. I told her that no matter what I was VERY proud of her for just getting it done, turned in on time and getting a perfect grade! I will keep you posted as we have further developments.
I haven't had time to post this or put up pics, but Bella had another project to do on Giza. More specifically, the 3 pyramids, the Nile and the Sphinx. She had to make a model that looked real (using real sand and what not), that was correctly laid out (the Nile to the East and the pyramids facing it) and labeled and then had to write a 200 word essay. I am again VERY proud to say that she got another perfect grade!!! Not to mention her and I had some "bonding" time. You see the glue we used had a habit of getting on our fingers and well, sometimes we didn't notice until we were stuck, lol. I had to help her with the glue because I was afraid she would get stuck to just about everything. Turns out us doing it together wasn't much better.
On a side note, Trav has been laid off for a week now and things are not looking good as far as him going back to work there any time soon. They are merging with another company and will not need but less than half the guys from each company. Trav is about 2/3's the way down at our place. But that just means that something much better is in store and we have seen a few of the things come our way already and are VERY excited by this new adventure we are about to have!
As always, Love and Prayers my friends,
