Our Aweful Beautiful Life

Monday, 23 June 2008 I'm blessed. And this is why. I have two amazing boys who love me....and I could not love both of them more. Seriously, how could you resist this? These two boys are the reason that I love my life. God truly blessed us with a beautiful baby boy...we both agree, we couldn't be luckier to have him around. One grin from this kid, and my heart melts! One grin from the big kid melts my heart too...cheers to beautiful babies and handsome husbands!

It's the 92nd year for the conference, and I'm pretty confident that most of the attendees have been here since day 1. They are older, and they are sassy. In conjunction with the Home & Family Conference, is the Extension Homemakers Choral Performance & Festival Day, which adds about 250-300 more women to the mix. Only these women are fun -- they get all dressed up in outfits to match their song, and really rock out. I've not seen so many fancy sequined outfits since my Senior Prom!!! Talk about being in the sea of menopause & senility....these women are a real piece of work. Should I ever get to that point as an older adult....tell me to shut up and be polite. And remind me that I'm too old for sequins. On the split side of that -- I've got 500 pubescent teenagers checking in for 3 days away from home and mom and...
