Why Must Everything Happen on One Day??

May fourth. A very busy day in Bekahland!!

1) HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my sister, Lori! No fair telling ages, but today is her birthday. I called and sang half the song to her. I figured that was enough for the poor girl. Sounded like she was having a very fun day, and that is what matters!!

2) TWO YEARS have passed since the tornado hit Greensburg. Two years ago right about this very time of night...hard to believe. When I talked to Lori earlier tonight, she thanked me for the gift I sent her, which was a thing for her front door. She reminded me that the last time I sent her something for her door, her door blew away that very night. WOOPS. Hadn't remembered that little detail about that year's gift. So here's to hoping for a better night tonight.

3) HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my big, big three year old girl, Braeya Jo!! Tonight was her "party." Here she is NOT sharing her birthday treats with her brother. (It's only fair. He wasn't required to share on his birthday.)


Braeya's new toy - a little ball that lights up. That should keep her entertained for a while.


She's not evil, I promised! I even tried to use the redeye reduction on my computer but apparently it did NOT SAVE. She has such blue eyes and I always have redeye trouble with her. This is first thing this morning when the alarm went off.

More first thing this morning pictures. Happy birthday Miss Braeya Jo!!

4) One year ago today I was in Kansas for Cassie's graduation - with President Bush. Hard to believe that has been a whole year!! Cassie is about to finish up her first year of college and I am not even going to think about how old that makes me (in ten days).

5) FINALLY one of those things that you "hear about" happened to me! Flirting in the frozen foods!! They say grocery stores are great places to meet men. I have never subscribed to that theory because a) I hope to have a better dating plan than random grocery store finds and 2) my demeanor in Wal Mart up to this point in time has not really lent itself to attracting anyone at all. (gulp) But now that it's a pleasant place to be....I enjoy it oh so much more. And I don't know who the cutie was near the hash browns, but I enjoyed the experience! :)
I think that is all for this May fourth!
