Wow, it has been a long time since I've even logged onto Xanga.  I had to change my background, I wish it looked like that here.  We have too many pine trees and not enough cool weather.  The best it gets here is a yellowish brown color of leaves on the few maple trees that I see.  I do love the weather though.  It is finally getting cooler and the sky, on pretty days is the most wonderful color of blue.  Owen finished his first class yesterday, it was an 8 week class in American History.  He did very well, he will have an A once he gets the remainder of his grades back.  We have to thank Josh for his help!  I know he doesn't want to teach but I still think he would make a heck of a teacher! =)  Although your demands for new tires and ITunes gift cards are a little much. Just kidding, I'm sure Owen can round up some used tires and I guess we can spare five dollars for a gift card.  Hehe, I'm in a really silly mood today so if anyone does read this just over look most of it. 

On a serious note, I have been blessed with such a wonderful life, I have a wonderful family and I thank God for everything each and every day.  I do need to be more diligent with this though, He is so good to us and without Him we would have and be nothing.

I'm hoping that I have a very boring Friday!  Friday before last at 11:30 p.m. I was dozing on the couch listening to the weather, hearing them talk about how we don't have any chances of rain for a while.  Then, all of a sudden, I hear what sounds like a down pour.  Since I was half asleep I didn't really comprehend what was going on so I got up and looked outside, no rain.  Oh crap.  I opened the door into the garage to see water shooting up in the air hitting the ceiling.  I yelled  for Owen, he had fell asleep watching TV in another room he came in and tried to figure out where the water was coming from.  I went outside and turned the water off at the main valve (I guess that's what it's called.)  The next morning my boss came by and fixed it, it was a quick fix but not a great start to my weekend. 

Last Friday was going fine, I got ready to leave work and I reached down to turn my computer off.  Then I went to make sure all of the other office lights were turned off.  All of a sudden I had a very unpleasant feeling in my lower back.  By the time I got home, I couldn't take a deep breath, I couldn't set down or lay down, it just hurt.  When Owen got home I was in a very bad mood(my mom thinks he's a saint for putting up with me ), so he took me the the doctor.  They said that I had pulled a muscle or had a pinched nerve, they loaded me up with pain killers and muscle relaxers and sent me on my way.  Up until yesterday I still had to use a pillow and heating pad at work and smelled like a medicine chest due to the Bengay but today is looking better.  So, here's to a boring Friday!!
