Great day

Today was much better! Like most moms who have grown children...you like to grab any minute you can have with them. Jake, Kylie, and Abby and my little grandsons were over for dinner today and we had such fun conversation. I'm so proud of Jake for being promoted in the Az. Nat'l Guard this weekend to Sgt. He gave me a flag folded in a box as a keepsake that I think they all got for serving in Afghanistan. He's also been offered a job with the Defense Dept. that he's very excited about, and I hope it all works out for him. It's moving season for all the Smiths I guess...or half of them anyways. Kami and Luke are on their way to Indiana for what we hope will be a temporary stay, Abby is waiting on word from hers and Jakes realtor on an offer they put in on a house for her and the boys, Kylie's moving just down the road from where she's at (but it's still a move!), and if Abby moves...so will Jake because he's staying with her right now. I'm feeling a lot better and plan on going to the gym tomorrow so will catch up with Mandy. I've really missed seeing her daily. Eric calls about every other day and they're all fine and happy in the cool of Wa. And Shelly does call everyday so I get to pretend she lives right here in town! She'll be coming in on Aug. 15th for the weekend and I can't wait to see her. I just completed another day totally on my eating plan and that makes me happy. I'm trying to decide whether or not to take golf lessons at the park in Marana. I need to decide soon because the sign up deadline is upon me. I'm also trying to find a softball team to join...wish me luck there. I don't know how good I'll be, but watching Shelly's game last week gave me the guts to go for it. I sure wish all us girls could play together on the same team, but that would be an impossible feat. I'm anxiously awaiting the first of Sept., because that means the longest, hottest month of school will be over and it won't be long until fall...my favorite season. Not to be confused with Christmas...my favorite holiday. Peace out!
