I Must Be Getting Old, Time is Flying!

SU Convention 2006

My First!

So, it is now August 1. Wasn't it just July 1st yesterday??? Anyway, lots has been going on. Let me first start with, sorry about the picture! Instead of a very cute picture of the kids with their Grandma at Disneyland, you are stuck with a picture of me. Why you ask? Well, after a full day at Disneyland and the next day of cute pics of the kids making cookies with Grandma, my digital camera decided to eat my pictures! I viewed the pictures and everything looked fine. I went to upload my pictures and what does my camera tell me? "Memory Card is not Formatted. Format now?" Ummmm. NO! So, thinking Keith can once again save my pictures (yes this has happened before), I gently ease the memory card out and put it on Keith's desk. Unfortunately, Keith, the miracle worker he is, can't seem to recover a darn thing. The disk is completely wiped. *Sigh* Oh well. Maybe when we go back (in five years!), we will have some good pictures.

So, so much has gone on, let me just recap here:

1. Summer is halfway over, the kids are going back to school soon!
2. I have been in pain since I returned from Convention. Chest pain that brought me to the ER. Nothing to worry about, EKG was normal as was the chest x-ray and blood work.
3. Keith's truck is acting up. It's not looking good.
4. The kids are still cute as ever. Seriously cute. I have to brag!
5. After several doctor's visits and another visit to the ER, it has been determined that I have to have my gallbladder removed.
6. I had a great time at Convention.
7. The weather is finally cooling down and our electric bill hasn't been anywhere near what I had estimated it to be. I estimated well over $350. Good thing I was WAY off.
8. Karen came and spent a whole week with us. (Which we have NO pictures of - see above)
9. We got to see Ellie, Colin and Maria for about a day when I came back from convention.
10. Life is good. Despite some small glitches, it is really good.

Okay, that it a short note for now. I will update you all on the gallbladder saga soon.
