My Sister

I love my sister in a way that only sisters can. I always feel my most comfortable and at my best when I'm with her. Too bad we only see each other once a year- if we lived closer I may have more of my issues worked out:) My sister rivals me in organization and humor. I once told someone she is like me times 100 and that person freaked out saying that is not possible- but it's true!! Why the sudden need to declare my sisterly love on my blog- you see for some unknown reason my sister is holding my perfume- perfume that only qvc sells and won't ship to Alaska- hostage!! That is correct- hostage! I don't know maybe she secretly loves my perfume because she misses me-I like that thought- it makes me happy thinking of her using my perfume daily just to remind herself of me- yes I'm sure that must be why after weeks of patiently waiting my paid for perfume has not made it to my door- she just misses me!!! I will only remind her that this perfume is part of my mental sanity and because she knows our family like only sisters can she will now be rushing to the post office to send my sanity in a bottle ASAP!!!

Master Sergeant!!

Ken was recently promoted to Master Sergeant and our family was able to go to the ceremony which was held in the OPS room at his work. I was so happy that all our kids were there- you just never know sometimes with teen-agers- especially those belonging to us. It has been a long time coming for reasons which I refuse to focus on- but we could not have been any happier and it's been so nice to see the confidence that has been restored in my husband!



Strawberry filled- YUMMY!!




This bear has been moved temporarily into the ops room while they are remodeling his previous home.




The kids thought this bizarre let me punch you in the arm as hard as I can to make sure your stripes stay on ritual was hilarious!

We are so grateful for this promotion not for the monetary gains- which let's be honest are very nice- but for the recognition of many years of hard work. It was a real treat to hear about the things that Ken does at work and how indispensable he is. We have been given lots of blessings lately which we are soooo grateful for!!

Finally!!

After months of begging, pleading, almost crying, here are some pictures of the last few months!! Why are computer things so stressful for me- it took way too long to make this little slideshow!
