Happy Birthday

Times are changing........ Again

Well.....It's over......Sinora.......No more Monday Nights.......Finished.......OK...... I'll stop now.

I finished my course work for my Master's degree Monday night. I will be graduating from SWU on December 15, 2007!!! Yes, this was the program that I started the Monday after the house fire. I remember talking to Mom about dropping out of the program, like it was yesterday. I thought the time wasn't right, I would never be able to get organized and stay focused through all that had happened. I started my Master's at Converse College, and transferred to SWU last summer. Mom and Dad encouraged me to continue on with the plan I had made before the fire, so I did. I loved every minute of it! Well, not every minute of it, having to write a thesis and all, but most of it! I was definitely relieved after every paper and discussion was complete. Thank you all for the support and many prayers.

Another change that's taking place is just as equally as shocking. For many of our family members we remember "the nursery" where we spent many childhood days with Nanny, Aunt Brenda, and our Mama's. This was a place where we were safe, fed, and usually the favorites right Kerrie? After all where else on Earth can you be in time out with a RC Cola and Moon Pie!!! Thanks Nanny

I haven't been able to find any pictures of the nursery back then, but this is what it looks like now.

Kerrie, take a look at the yellow chair. Is that a time out chair? Where's the RC Cola and Moon Pie? No wait, maybe that's the chair that you and Katie decided to decorate and clean up after yourselves of course!!! And where's that monkey? Has any one seen a monkey last spotted swimming in potty! Aunt Cathy can explain this one. Those were some good times! I am thankful for the many laughs and memories. More to come, ~Ashley
