Gram's 90th Birthday Bash

My gram turned 90 on June 10th. The following weekend we had a huge birthday party for her. All the family met in north Georgia and stayed in cabins together. We always have a great time with the this side of the family...definetly party animals! My Gram is an amazing woman. I remember in elementary school writing a poem about her called "Hero." Still to this day she is my hero. She is the most selfless, welcoming, loving, intelligent, caring, polite, and best Wheel of Fortune partner I know!!! I have always told her when she makes it to 100 I am going to send her picture in to the Today Show to be put on a Smuckers jar and have her birthday announced by Willard Scott. I am so glad we were all able to get together and celebrate such a wonderful lady!

Disney Cruise 2009

Disney Magic

I can't believe our long awaited cruise has come and gone. It was so much fun! We went on a 7 night Western Caribbean Disney Cruise...what more could you ask for?!?! We sailed on the Disney MAGIC. Our ship took us to Key West, Grand Cayman, Cozumel, and Castaway Cay (Disney's Island). Dave and I had so much fun just being together and not having to answer cell phones, e-mail, school work, etc! The whole time we did not have one drop of rain...all sunshine! Dave of course lathered his Spf 50 on each day and I soaked up the rays with tanning oil spf 8!!! For those of you who don't know...Dave is so anti sun-tans! Funny he would go on a Caribbean cruise, I know! We went snorkeling in Grand Cayman, AWESOME! We also rode a thrill boat in Key West. Dave twisted my arm and we both took advantage of the on board vista spa! HEAVEN! We met so many people from all over the world. Friends from England, Germany, Australia, California, and Canada. For those of you who have never sailed with Disney Cruise Line you truly are treated like royalty! It is quite the reality check when you get home. On board you have 2500 passengers and 1000 crew members (disney language=cast members). The Disney crew comes from over 56 countries!! Very neat to meet all of them. They truly are the reason Dave and I chose Disney Cruise Line again, besides the magic of Disney! As you can see I have posted quite a few pics...at least you didn't get all 260 of them. Here we go...

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Dave has officially completed his Bachelors Degree! HOORAY! I never thought this day would come...either did he. I am so proud of him and all of his hard work. His actual graduation ceremony is June 20th in Savannah. He gets 10 months to rest until he hits the books again for his Masters. In the mean time we hope to do some work on our backyard, vacation, and maybe, just maybe get a "bun in the oven!" :)

Happy Birthday Times Two!!

In 18 Days...

My husband will have his Bachelors Degree!!!!

I am so proud of Dave and all the hard work he has put into his schooling. He has been on the Dean's/President's List every quarter he has been in school! He currently has a 3.82 GPA! He plans on taking the rest of the year off, then starting his Masters in January. He will either graduate Cum Laude or Summa Cum Laude! Way to go babe, I Love You!
