Ryan was on the News!

Yesterday when Ryan came home from work, he was very excited. He told me that Tulsa's News 8 interviewed him and they taped him working for about 20 minutes. So we watched the News that night and he was on the news, but not for very long. I'm not sure if the sound is working, but at least you can see him. He's about 20 seconds into the video, wearing a light gray shirt. I thought it was pretty neat. So far since we have lived here, I've been in the Sapulpa newspaper and Ryan has been on Tulsa news. HEHE.

Prissy or Tomboy?

My little girl LOVES to dress up as a princess. She already loves name brand clothing. She is a perfectionist on a lot of things... But she also loves to catch and hold frogs/toads and always seems to get filthy. What is up with this?

Something really bothering me :(

I know I already posted something today, but I have had something that has really been troubling me. My Dad was a diabetic the last few years of his life and because of that, a lot of time his feet hurt, or he didn't have feeling in them. He also said that he had a burning sensation in them a lot. Anyway, diabetes really took a toll on his poor feet. I would watch him take his shoes off and rub his feet, trying to get feeling back in his feet. I just sat there and watched him, and rarely offered to help him. I honestly don't like massaging people. When Ryan asks me to rub his back, I'll do it, but I don't exactly like doing it. I have to be in the right mood to offer to do it. My Dad asked me a time or two to rub his feet, and I did it, I just wasn't very enthusiastic about it. I just thought of this today, it was the first time I've EVER thought of it. I wish I could turn back time and do what little I could to make my Dad feel better. I feel so little right now. He did SO much for me and I didn't do as much as I should have for him. This thought tears me up! What point I would like to get across to you all is PLEASE don't take people for granted, they won't always be here. Now is the time to do for others. I just felt like sharing this with you all.

1 week!

I'm getting more and more excited to go to Dallas next weekend. We have everything paid for except dinner and fuel. We have our motel, tickets, lunches, and other vouchers already paid for. I have found several videos of the rollercoasters we will be riding. The one I have posted underneath we rode 5 years ago, and it scared me half to death! It is so tall! I just am getting more and more excited everyday, and so is Ryan! I'm sorry I keep going on and on, it's just that we don't get to do this very much, so it is a huge deal to us! I seriously can not wait! By the way, in order to hear this video, you'll need to mute the "Daddy's Hands" song. Just scroll down and you'll see a volume symbol and just click on it and it will mute.

Happy birthday Mom!

Today is my WONDERFUL mother's (67th) birthday. She was 40 years old when I was born, so it is always easy for me to remember her age :) I wish I could be there to celebrate your birthday with you. I love you Mom!
