Thanks, Janet- we are very happy as well.

How are things in your neck of the woods? Has the sun come out to visit you at all this week?

Sun has come out! Very little rain - about 60 degrees - YEAH! I SOOOOO needed spring. Unfortunately I've been so busy the last few days that I haven't gotten out.

Today after work I had to train an instructor in CPR Pro for another area Christian camp. Took up my time, but now she can teach all the staff there and they don't have to bug us. :)

Then, DD had piano and we finally got home to eat.

I'm trying to get everyone in bed because I have a headache! :)

Quick stop here...and I'm in bed right after them!

Enjoy your last few days there and have a safe trip home!

Janet, I am sorry that you have a headache. Have you ever tried Gatorade to reduce or eliminate your headaches? I know it's pricey, but normally 8-12 ounces will do it. I but the G2 Gatorade because it has less sodium and calories and sugar than the original, plus it doesn't taste as salty either. I can get rid of most headaches, or at least reduce the pain considerably with Gatorade.Hope you got some rest and that you feel better in the morning. If I don't kill my husband in his sleep because of his abnormally loud snoring, I'll check in tomorrow and see how you are doing.I should just ask for your phone number now because I know you get one call from the pokey, and I think you are the person I'd call. Maybe I should call Diane, since she's just up the road in NC? :)

Dear sister had an anonymous person donate a top christian lawyer to take her case, so he is hot on the trail of doing what needs to be done! We've been turning to this guy for advice for the past month, and out of the blue my Mom called my sister yesterday and said he'd been retained for her from an anonymous christian person. We don't know who it is, but boy are we thankful!
SWEET!

Diane! Kasey is right about why I prefer the beaches in SC over NC BUT I LOVE NC! We lived in Raleigh for several years and when we moved here, I thought I would never survive! It was a great place to be and I still miss it! No beach wars here, baby!

Headache gone - took 1 Aleve, it did the trick.

Gatorade only makes me feel better if I haven't eaten...doesn't help the type of headache.

Life is back to crazy, busy and normal here.

69 degrees yesterday and again today - yeah!

Now off to work...
