Prom
My beautiful 17 year old niece had her prom last night! She had a ton of fun! Too bad she lives all the way in Nashville! :( Here she is in her dress and with her date! She looks gorgeous! Hmmmm, anyone remember what you wore to your prom or dance way back when?? Definitely not as pretty as the style today! I love you Loo Loo (Alexa)...you look stunning!!!!

She's becoming a BIG girl!!!
Manze has been sleeping in a pack-n-play at Mrs. Beth's house, but on Friday Mrs. Beth put her on a mat! She did awesome! Mrs. Beth told her that big girls sleep on mats, so Manze said, "Okay, I a big girl Mama Beth," and laid down on the mat and went to sleep! She woke up about an hour and a half later and Mrs. Beth said nap time was not over, so Manze went right back to sleep! I can't believe how big she's getting! It's so sad and exciting at the same time!

Please Pray
To all my prayer warriors out there...please pray for a student of mine. His name is Corbin Adams and he was diagnosed with Cancer last year. I taught him in 2nd grade and he is now in 4th! The doctors have not given him long to live. He was supposed to go the the beach today for a week courtesy of Make a Wish and he had a bad seizure last night. He is at the hospital and is getting weaker! Corbin is his mother's only child. Please pray for her and that Corbin is not in pain!
*UPDATE: I went to visit Corbin at the hospital today and he was not doing well. Thankfully he was able to rest and he was resting when I was there. His breathing was very labored and his lungs are filling up with fluid. He is not expected to make it past Midnight tonight! When I was visiting his mom and her family were sharing stories about Corbin and they were laughing and it was nice. Please pray for them as they go through this difficult time!
*UPDATE: Corbin passed away tonight, Tuesday, April 14th. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers!

I've been tagged
Okay, I was tagged a LONG time ago by my friend Jodi to tell 7 things about myself that people might not know! Things have been so crazy around here that I'm just now getting around to responding! So, here goes...
1. I'm an Army brat! I grew up all over and I moved to MS from Chicago! Yes, I was called a Yankee and I said "you guys" instead of "ya'll!" I loved moving around and meeting new people and wish I could have gone more places! There is a whole great big world out there and I can't wait to see more!
2. My sister and brother were born on the same day TWO YEARS APART! No, my parents did not plan that...back then you didn't have a choice! I am 11 years younger than my sister and 9 years younger than my brother and we are all very close!
3. My friend Stephanie and I started a business called fafa (fun and funky art) and we paint adult and children's art! We do some really cool funky art on canvases! I started a blog for fafa but yet to have uploaded pictures...that is a goal of mine!
4. I can get a little OCD at times! Before I go to bed at night I check all the doors like 5 times to make sure they are locked (including the garage), I make sure the stove and oven are turned off if I've been cooking, and I check my straightning iron to make sure it's turned off! Like I said I will do this over and over then when I finally get into bed I will think I didn't check something really well and I'll get up and do it all over again! Weird huh?
5. I have very curly hair, but you would never know it because I straighten it everyday!!!! You would only know it if you saw me when I got out of the shower or were at the pool or beach with me or if I was with you in the crazy hot muggy Mississippi weather! But, I fixed that problem for a while anyway...I got my hair chemically straightened about a month ago! The real test was last week when I was playing a tennis match and I got rained on...more like poured on! Later on as my hair dried, it dried straight! I thought to myself...hmmm that was money well spent! That and my Chi iron (can't live without that)!
6. I LOVE to read! I get obsessive about it! I am a speed reader and I have to buy several books at a time so when I finish one I will have another one immediately! I just watched a Dateline and Oprah special on the two families who had their daughters identities switched, by accident, at the scene of an accident in Indiana two years ago! One family thought they were burying their daughter and in fact she was being cared for by the other family! The book is called Mistaken Identity! I bought the book on a Saturday and finished it that Monday! One of my favorite books I think I've ever read is My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult! I could NOT put it down! I highly recommend it! I've learned to be creative with my reading time (since I have a 2 year old and finding time is hard). I read in the bath (that means about an hour bath time)!
7. I'm a big time night owl! I get a second wind about 9:00 and I end up staying up really late! I rarely get to bed before 11:00 or midnight these days! Not always a good idea with a 2 year old running around the house!
One more thing: I HATE elevators...they terrify me!!!!
Now I tag: Michelle, Denny, and Cathy!!!!
