Happy 4th!!

Happy 4th!! Hopefully everyone enjoyed the long holiday weekend. Down here, we had a very busy weekend. We celebrated the 4th on two occasions, one on Sunday evening, and then again on Monday afternoon. Sunday evening we went over to the Henderson's and set off fireworks, a tradition that we have done for many years. This year I decided to take some pictures of the fun we had.

Here is the stash before the party started. For the first time Kentucky legalized the good fireworks, so this year we didn't have to travel out of state to get them. So that meant that we could use the money that would have been used for gas for more fireworks!!

Here are the boys getting ready to start blowing things up.... It's the one time of year that I see so many grown mean act like little kids.

This is one of the first things that were fired off....the night was just beginning...

Hopefully everyone had a safe and happy 4th. I know we did, and we sure had alot of fun that night as well.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year everybody!! Hope everyone enjoyed the new year, and rang it in safely. Mike and I didn't do much, we got up late, ate a big breakfast, stayed in our pj's till noon or so, and pretty much were bums. We spent most of the day playing video games, and then we watched some NCIS dvd's that we got for Christmas. It was grand!!

The other night Mike and I were looking back at 2010, and we decided that we were glad to put it to rest, and were looking forward to what 2011 might bring. For those of you who don't know, let me give you a brief recap of our 2010.

I lost my job in May, and we had to move out of the house on the farm, so we moved to Georgetown. We celebrated our 1 year anniversary in St. Louis, MO. I started a new job in June, work 4 days a week, have every Fri-Sun off. We spent most every weekend at the lake with Mike's parents. That was a blessing, and we really enjoyed the time up there. Then in August, the company Mike worked for split down the middle, and he chose to stay with one of the owners. Then four weeks later, the company let Mike go, due to lack of work. End of September I found out that I needed to have surgery, which took place mid-October. Right after I had my initial appointment about the surgery Mike started work through a temp agency, which got us through the end of 2010.

So now that you are caught up, we both look forward to what 2011 brings. Mike has already picked up permanent work, and it looks like it will keep him busy for several months to start with. So as we put 2010 behind us, we look forward to 2011 with much excitement and anticipation.
