What Have I Gotten Myself Into!

Okay so I got a new calling last Sunday. No more Young Womens. I think that the title is Cub Scout Leader!!!??? I was given all the details this morning and it took almost 2 hours to get through. This is definatly not like Personal Progress. Holy cow my head has been spinning. I did go to the Scout store and did a little shopping. So that made me feel better. Ha! Shane is happy that I will be his leader. Last night we had the Blue and Gold Banquet and I was watching all the 8 and 9 year boys that I will be working with..... well let just say I will need a super size soda on hand. All joking aside I am very excited to be apart of Shane's program and I look forward to learning all I can about scouting. So say a prayer for me and the program!

Pepper Is Home!

Our prayers have been answered. Pepper was found by a lovley family 3 streets over and they were kind enough to bring her back this afternoon. We missed her soooo much. We are gald that she back with us. Now I feel like our family is whole again. I know I'm a dork.

Now on to a sad note......

Pepper is missing. We spent all evening looking for her. I'm afraid she is long gone. Pray for her that she might return to us. We love her so much. She is apart of our family. We miss her.

What Fun We Had!

Last Fall my friend, Cynthia, and I attended a 12 week Citizens Police Academy from Missouri Southern State University. The class taught by Jimmy and various other police officers. Here we are graduating. We had so much fun going through all the training and learning about what police and law enforcement do, go through and endure. We got to shoot full automatic rifles, solve murders, fake ones of course, search an abandoned house, I got to drive a police car and play with the lights a sirens, some were allowed to get drunk and be tested on the breathalyzer... what a crack up, and surprisingly quite a few volunteered to be tazed. NUTS!!! We had soooo much fun and Jimmy and his friends did such a great job and of informing us about what they do!

Happy 9th Birthday Shane!

We celebrated Shane's 9th birthday today. It wasn't as exciting as we had hoped. Shane has been very sick with the flu. He has had fevers and has been sleeping most of the time. He has missed a couple days of school.... but neverless his sisters showered him with gifts and tried to make him feel better. Early this morning he crawled in my bed and asked me if I was proud of him because he turned 9 years old today. Happy Birthday Shane!
