From the Family Journal . . .


. . . my brothers surprised us.  One gave us a truckload of wood, and the other picked up some writing books at a recent book sale for me.  Woot!

. . . our 16 year-old daughter was featured in a school newspaper that is mailed out in our area.  She was featured for her artwork (a hand drawn piece).  She is also being inducted into the National Honor Society this month.



. . . our 21 year-old son was hired by a family to design their own wine label.  He also took his MEPS (Military Entrance Processing Station) testing this week and is now enlisted in the Marines. 


. . . having family movie night every Sunday night lately.  Making a special treat, and beverage for most of them.


. . . Hubby and I are back to the gym, for a 5am workout.

"I just learned lesson 1, 991," said Hubby.

"Whaddaya mean?" I asked confused.

"Don't saw wood near your truck, and leave the truck doors open."

Any chances of putting up a picture of DH's artwork? I'd love to see it :)
