Happy Birthday Girl

Wow! 18 years old. I can't believe my sweet little Katey Mae is 18. When she was small she would always say that she couldn't wait to be really old because old people are really nice. Well Katey girl you are still young but you are another year closer. You are already really nice. We celebrated with a rushed dinner and cake so we would make to the theatre in time to see WICKED. Of course it was a wonderful show and we all had a great time. Love you Katey.

Grateful

I love November. This is my favorite season. Cooler weather (hopefully), beautiful colors, good smells, and reflection on all that I have to be grateful for. My Family, my faith, my good fortune and friends top the list. I am trying not to let the Christmas decorations and advertising that are out way to early get to me. (breathe, breathe) Natalie will leave for Argentina on the 19th. She will stop over at LAX. So close and yet so far. I am excited for this next part of her adventure. If you are interested you may look at her blog that I am trying to keep up to date with news from her letters.
