Prom #2...

The funniest thing just happened...when mom was sick and we were traveling back and forth to Jonesboro somehow I lost $100. The only thing that we could think of was that when the door of the car was open they blew away. Well Mike is outside racking leaves and guess what he came across...$20 bill. Now that is only one but it kinda proved the fact that the bills flew out of the car. I am grateful for the blessing of finding just one. Maybe someone who needed it, got the other four.

Sorry for the delay of pictures...I guess I had forgotten that I did not post the pictures until last night when some friends reminded me. Here goes...Greene County Tech 2009 Prom...

Joshua getting ready...he hated the tie...

Joshua calls from where they are eating and says, "mom! I forgot the flowers!". I called Bren's and they stayed open so that I could come and get them...Thanks Bren's!. Jessie trying to put Joshua's on but in frustrations gave it to me and said, "you do it."

Upon arriving to the community center where the prom was held, all the girls, well those that cared, was putting on garment tape to keep their dresses to them...I appreciated that very much. That showed me how much character Jessie has and I was very proud of her. You know, some wouldn't care if it made others look. Thanks Jess.

He did stop for a moment to let Jess take a picture of us...the puffy eyes are from crying...my uncle was in the ICU dying...long night.

Now, the cute couple together...I didn't do so good on the flowers did I?

Joshua and one of his good friends Wes. These boys have grown up playing ball together. Wes will have a state championship ring on his finger this year for basketball...GO TECH!

Tyler, another great friend Joshua has played ball with since he was seven. I am very thankful that Joshua has been blessed with the friends he has.

Joshua and Jessie walking out in the Grand March...theme...Under the Sea.

Tanner Duncan, otherwise known at our house as T Dog, one of Joshua's best friends.

The gang together again...Joshua, Jessie, Madison, and Kyle.

He looks more like his dad than I ever thought...both very good looking if I do say so myself.

Joshua and Joey...another ball bud...

and Jon.

This is a picture that only these men could appreciate...all of the Arkansas Redbirds and their dads. We traveled many years together...been through many trials and they are all still standing strong in their friendships. We have been reprimanded many times for the time that we spent on the baseball field through the years, but I have gleamed a few important things from it...because of the tightness with these boys, they kept each other out of trouble throughout the years, not a lot of down time to get into things that could get them in trouble, and when there was a crisis...like mom dying...they were there through it all bringing great food, sending encouraging cards and just being available to cry to. My family is very lucky to have ran with this group of people for more than ten years.

Just the dads....

Now the moms.

Joshua and Luke...

Kyle with his proud mom and dad...

Jessie's four inch heels had to come off...Joshua was sweet to remove them for her.

This picture I will leave you with...Joshua, Kyle and Josh. Here is a precious friendship that I pray never is broken. Joshua is very fortunate to have these two friends, and as a mom, I am glad that he does. Here you see three boys that the Lord is going to do something great with, and I know this because all three have parents that have prayed over these boys night after night. They know the Lord and love others. I wouldn't be surprised to see them serving in the same church someday.

Thanks for letting me share my baby with you. Please pray for him as he enters the real world of adulthood. Many decisions to make that will be hard but lots of blessings to have because of the right ones made.

Free today, what in the world do I do first?

Isn't life funny, I typed in the heading of the blog and Mrs. Connie calls me to sub. School has been in session now for a week and two days and I have subbed for all those days. Actually that's not true. I just called her back and told her to find someone else for today if possible so that I can go to the doctor with my hubby, awwwww, isn't that sweet of me?

Last night was the opener of the 2008 Volleyball season with us taking on our teams number two rival, CRA. We played there and it had to be a 100 degrees plus in that gym. Not a dry spot on anyone. If I was miserable I can only imagine what the girls were feeling like. Look at Micah's hair curling up...

This is when Micah's name was called out as one of the starters...please let me brag just this time. You would have to know what we endured to get to this point for me to want to even say that she is a sophomore starter. Some of you mommas know what I am talking about when I say that there is a whole lot of "who you are", "and who you know" that gets you into the game. We refused to play that game! Mom and dad are very proud of you Micah!!!! to say the least. Even her big bro who came to the game to support her was in shock.

I wish that I had a shot of her face when her name was called.

One of Micah's favorite things to do is to block the ball when the other team is

hitting it over the net...

and bumping it...

and of course...SPIKING IT.

Go Eagles!!! We play Westside tonight and it will be a good game. ]

Hope I get time to make a card or two today...if so...I will post later. Have a great one.
