OUR LATEST OBSESSION

Dennis and I have been playing a couple of games of dominoes every day for the last 3 days. We lead such exciting lives. We road our bikes to St Mary's today then we came home showered, went to Lowe's to to look at some flooring for the travel trailer, walked around K-Mart and found saddle bags for our bikes, then it was to Publix to pick up a couple of things and we finished our adventure with a rip roaring game of Dominoes. WHAT A LIFE! Sorry that's all I had to blog about today. Tomorrow I leave to take my parents to Arkansas, I'll see what adventures that may bring.

A Day of Celebration

18 Months Cancer Free Yeah!~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Today we made another trek to NAS Jax for Dennis to have yet another Cystoscopy, a test he does not look forward to but know it is a necessity. As you can tell Dennis is thrilled to be there.
Dr. Donaldson is our hero, he's the Doctor who found Dennis 's cancer and has treated him since that time. He confirmed our diagnosis on a Friday and he had Surgery on Tuesday, we barely had time to think about it before it was over. He was very good to us and we appreciate that.
This is his thumbs up-- everything is clear sign-- his next test will be in 6 months and if it is clear we can go to being tested once a year. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!! We have been very blessed and are grateful to our Heavenly Father for giving us good health.

I Have the best job ever!!!!!!

We finished up our contract (or ran out of funds) at the end of May, and my boss simply told me I work hard and to take the month of June off. Is that great or what. So Dennis and I have been taking advantage of it and staying active. One day we walked 4 miles, road our bikes around 15-20 miles to St Mary's and back and then went to the pool and swam for a while. Not our typical day, we were both pooped that evening.

Our typical day.

We start our day off with a 4 mile power walk then we make our way up to the local flash foods for our morning drink. The girls there are very nice and miss us when we dont show up. Then it's to the rear of the store to Krystals, my whole family LOVES Krystal burgers, they are great.

This is a picture of me (sweaty from exercising and heading for the pool) getting Dennis his morning Krystals, he usually orders 3 burgers and an order of fries. I on the other hand order a salad or sometimes I allow myself to have 5 of his fries (the biggest ones of course) or every once in a great while I will endulge with a burger myself. He called my name out the other day, I turned around and he snaped this picture of me (thanks Den great smile on my part).

A LABOR OF LOVE

My oldest son Dale and his family will be sealed in the Salt Lake Temple on July 15 so I decided I wanted to do something special. I thought and thought and then it came to me. I decided to take my very first Temple dress and make dresses for the girls. It was a challange at times picking apart all the seams and then trying to figure out how to cut both dresses out with the amount of material I had. It felt the spirit often as I sewed and I sincerely enjoyed making them. I hope they realize how special these dresses are. If they don't now, someday they will I'm sure.
This is Ashlee's dress, It's been a long time since I sewed and I was suprised at how easy it went. I think she will look so beautiful.
