God's sign....okay God...I got it!!!

If anyone knows me, I don't relax. I've been getting better at it, but still have issues... Yesterday I hurt my hip and have been in a great deal of pain. When I came home from work today, I wanted to check my vegetable garden and started to weed. Then I realized that the pain was reminding me that I shouldn't be doing this I came in took some Advil and put heat on it. Then I had to run Sarah to the mall and when I came back I got the idea to do (just a little) transplanting. I had walked by David and he reminded me that I was in pain and should be relaxing and I said I will only be "a minute". Needless to say I was out there more than that but God sent me a sign for me to stop. I hit a bees nest while transplanting and got stung on the butt! Okay God I hear you.....after yelling for David and getting first aid for my sting I was still relentless and said I was going to go clean up outside. Which David reminded me sternly to relax and I did :) Will I ever learn?

Awesome pic

I took this picture while at Tim and Fran's. I love how it turn out, what do you think?

A sad goodbye...

We had to find little shady a new home. It was a heartbreak, but things were definitely not working out as planned. I found a wonderful home for him in Phoenixville. Sarah and I took him last night. We met the whole family and were invited in to see where Shady would be living. Dee and her family were so excited to adopt Shady as they had to put down their cat of 17 years just the day before. She wants us to keep in contact and visit whenever we want. We will miss you sweetie!

Annapolis July 06

Last weekend Sarah and I spent the weekend at my brother Tim's house in Annapolis. David went to workcamp in West Virginia and Danielle stayed with her Aunt Nanci. We had alot of fun with Tim, Fran and Jesse. I love going down there....it is such a beautiful area. I spent alot of time kayaking on the bay. Sarah and Jesse where on the beach. Sarah got really sunburnt on Saturday. Our time down there was short, I hope to get back there soon. I love the time I spend with my family, even though it is only little...and yes I relaxed!

Yesterday.....

Sunday we finally got to go minature golfing! It is something I really wanted to do with the family (I don't know how excited everyone else was...) The four of us went to Freddy Hill Farms and played then had ice cream. I want to spend more time as a family because with older teenagers it seems like that happens less and less. Where has the time gone?

Bicycling, Picinicing, Kayaking...oh my!

Saturday was a very nice day... David, Sarah and I went to Peace Valley Park. We started the day riding our bikes around the lake. I believe it was about 6 miles? Sarah was a little worn out but enjoyed herself. Then we had a picinic lunch by the lake. After that we rented kayaks (my favorite!) and kayaked around the lake for about an hour. Then we came home and we all went out to dinner (Danielle too!) to Texas Roadhouse. All in all is was a fun filled day :)
