I'm a mom. I have 2 sons: Drew, who is my favorite, and Nick, who is also my favorite. My husband, Andy, is a police officer. I take lots of pictures, and I like to think that they're good. I scrapbook. Oh, and I also work full time in a veterinary diagnostic laboratory. Currently my biggest desire is to find land available and build a house far out in the country, no neighbors nearby, with space for a herd of cattle and a big veggie garden.

It's a Mystery
What's a mystery, you ask? It's a mystery when I will have reliable internet service at home. Ever since New Wave took over from Charter, I can never be sure there will be a connection. I understand that there are issues associated with the changeover, and they've been very nice and eager to help, and they've credited me for every day that I haven't had continuous service, but still... I want my internet back!
So anyway, I can't do the post by the boys until I can post from home, and until I can be assured of a connection I'm posting from work. So, keep holding for that. It's coming, I promise, because I love the idea.
My birthday yesterday was nice. I spent a good portion of the day on the phone, which made me feel very loved. My parents called, twice. Both of my brothers called. My far-away best friends Mike and Jeff called, and Annie even remembered to call. My local buddies Mark and Mandy called, too. Well, actually, Mark called but Mandy stopped by the house with new scrapbooking supplies and a birthday card. Wasn't that nice? I got several e-cards and a few happy birthday e-mails. And today they had break goodies at work for all the August birthdays, and the boss man made no-bake cookies special for me because I love them.
Andy and the boys got me a tiny little cake from the Kroger bakery. It was yummy. They got me a CD and a video game (Yes, a video game. Spyro the Dragon. I guess moms need to have fun, too... I believe the boys chose that gift themselves.) and a little camouflage stool to take with me when I go out into the woods with my camera. Oh, and flowers. They got me flowers. Mums and a little ivy-looking plant. And, Nicky agreed to pose for pictures for me. He never, ever agrees, but he said he would because it was my birthday. That one above is my favorite--he was trying to make his "mean face" but was laughing too much to be able to accomplish the frown.
It's nice to know that I have people that love me. People I'm related to and friends I've known for years and some blogging buddies that I've never actually met. Thank you, everyone. You made it a great day.
