Update!

So many things have happened that I thought I would share some and then I will post a few pics and better explanations later. But for now I wanted to catch up...at least a little!

1. My reunion was fun. Not as many people as I would have hoped, but it was GREAT to see my old friends and actually get their contact info so that I can keep up with them now!
2. Austin had to wear his boot for another week, but he was able to take it off today. We go back in two more weeks to make sure he is still healing and then he might be released for fall baseball a couple of weeks after that. YEAH! Finally some healing...I thought he was never going to get any better!
3. My best friend Becca came to a town about 45mins away to do a week long seminar...so I got to spend lots of time with her! We went to the Mayfield dairy and took a tour, visited Chattanooga and went through Rock City, and got in some good girly chatting :)
4. I can't sleep. Yep. Don't know why, but for more than a week now I have only been able to get about 3-4hrs of sleep a night. So last week was kind of a stupor for me, but I think I am getting used to it now. I just hope it doesn't last forever...it is driving BJ crazy!
5. We went to see the new Batman movie this weekend! It was good...I questioned a few things, but overall it was good!
6. We bought a new computer and got a new wireless system for the house so hopefully the computer thing will get better.
7. A while ago I found out that I was eligible for the Daughters of the American Revolution through at least 2 ancestors. I have been doing LOTS of research on my family history and have found LOTS of neat stuff. I love history and to study your family and realize their accomplishments and how they interacted with the eras that they lived in is fascinating for me. So I have contacted one of my local chapters and am on my way to joining!
8. I am continuing my painting class. I start my last painting tonight and then the last class is next week. I also have a drawing class that I started and am learning lots of interesting things. We'll see how it turns out!

I know there is more, but I can't think of anything right now! Will try and upload some photos and fun stuff later!

wow youve been so busy! im so glad to hear that austin got his boot off, and glad to hear you had lots of fun at your reunion!! im sorry about the sleep thing, i was having that problem too :( have you ever tried taking melitonin? that stuff knocks me out but doesnt give you a druggy or groggy feeling. plus if you only have time to only get a few hours of sleep, it doesnt matter! you wake up feeling just fine, no druggy feeling in the morning either, it rocks! i cant wait to see more of your paintings too!
