Happy Birthday, Terry!!!!

Today is Terry's 30th birthday....WOW, where in the world did all the time go?  I still remember the day he was born...So cute and tiny!!  Here's a few pictures of him as he was growing up.  

Such a cute baby!!!!


His mean streak is coming out in this one....

Such a happy little boy!!!

He loved reading Little Golden Books.

I think he badly needed a haircut in this one.

My wedding day! 

Terry after he lost 70 pounds.

What a great smile...

We are so proud of the man Terry has become.  He graduated last year with his Bachelor of Science in Financial Management.  He worked really hard to receive this degree.  He went to work everyday for 8 hours then spent his evenings taking college courses.  He was on the President's list and Dean's list several times.  He never made below a "B" in any of his classes.  That is such a wonderful accomplishment.   He loves his job and also he's made a good life for himself in Columbus, OH.  He's a very polite and caring person whom we are so proud of.  
Terry, we hope you have a great day! You are loved by so many people, especially by your Mom and Bob. 

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY"

A wet day

The snow is melting and it's raining so right now were having a wet, slushy, yucky day....We have a lot of snow that needs to melt and our sump pump in the basement is really getting a workout.  Did I mention how thankful I am that we have a sump pump in the basement?  We actually have 2 sump pumps.  The main one and a backup.  We got the backup pump when Bobby told me about his basement flooding and also when Terry had his basement to flood in the apartment he was renting in Columbus. What a huge mess that was!!

We took Terry out to dinner for his birthday this past weekend.  His birthday is actually this coming Wednesday but we celebrated it on Saturday.  Since it's a milestone birthday for him (he's turning 30) we got him a new recliner.  I have to say it's quite comfortable.  It's a Lazy-Boy, so he should get many, many years of enjoyment from it.   He was quite pleased.  We ate at Carrabas Italian Restaurant.  It's hard to even explain how good that place is.  Just, if you ever get a chance to go, DO!!!!  You will love it.  It can be a little pricey but it's worth it.   

I have diet group this evening.  We weren't able to meet last week because of the weather so I'm hoping everyone has a good loss this week.  Tonight is my cheat night so we are having homemade lasagna along with garlic bread and a salad for dinner when I get home from my meeting.  Tomorrow at the gym I am starting a new class.  It's a cardio class.  I talked to the instructor a couple days ago and she has a lot planned for us.  I'm hoping to survive the class but we will see.  Maybe we should have t-shirts made saying we survived it.  I heard this instructor is a slave driver....How in the world do I let myself get talked into these things!!!!!!!!

Have a nice day!

Is the snow coming??????

Hi,

I guess there's a bad snow storm on the way.  We hear on one TV station that were going to get 3-6 inches and on another station their saying were only going to get 1-3 inches.  So who knows????  To be safe though, Bob and I, went grocery shopping this morning and we decided were going to hibernate for the next couple days whether we get the snow or not.  Sounds good to me!!

Buckeye Chuck (our local groundhog) predicted the opposite of Punxsutawney Phil this year and said that spring is coming early.  It will be interesting to see who gets it right. 


I got my haircut yesterday.  She gave me lot of short layers which will give it body and right now it just barely touches my shoulders.  I was amazed at the pile of hair in the floor.  It was also a little scary.  It's too short for me but it will be fine once it grows out a little. 

That's about all that is going on.  Take care and I hope the one's in the path of the coming storm aren't hit too bad.  Be careful and be safe.
