An email between sisters

Here is our email conversation today: pink italics are my thoughts and comments-Julie

Abby: Hey! Sorry I did not call you back last night. I cooked supper, for a change.... and then we went to shop for appliances and then went to bed at 9:00 to get up at 4:30 for Boot Camp. So, this is my story. Can I just say that after the words boot camp I stopped reading?

What are ya'll doing for your anniv? You should scan a wedding pic of you 2 for the blog post that day! See, she is so bossy!

Julie: What is boot camp? Logical question, she really isn't the kind to join the army without talking it over a bit first!

Abby: 6 week fitness boot camp

Julie: for work? Or are you adding something else to your already loaded down paper plate? You know eventually the paper plate splits in the middle and your food lands on your clothes. Point? Don't overload yourself.

Abby: You should blog that statement! again bossiness! I have a Chinet plate and it is pretty sturdy. I am fine! I am working out in the mornings at boot camp for 6 weeks... no biggie. I need it and want that for myself. It is my little alone time with myself. For those of you worried that our dear Abby may be overworked and exhausted (because she has said those words to us), don't be because she is a Chinet plate. How is it that I feel like a flimsy paper plate most of the time?!

Way to go Abby! I'm not sure what week of boot camp you are on, but I hope your drill instructor isn't like the one daddy always talked about.

Julie

You should really be extremely proud of our Abby. Even with her hectic life right now, she has begun something for herself and her health. I am finishing me 4th week of boot camp and have lost probably 12 to 15 pounds and a bunch of inches. I am wearing clothes that I haven't been in for awhile. ABBY, know that I am so very proud of you and am cheering you on very loudly from the sidelines.
Diana

PS: Julie I'm not fussing at you but I do know that Abby needs our incouragement. Also Rick is paying for her first month if she goes to 3 sessions for 1 month.

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go
