Buddy and I cannot even begin to express how grateful we are for all your love and support. Grandpa & Grandma, thank you for being there in spirit. This is only the beginning and we look forward to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation walk on March 14th!! We love you all!!

All I can say is WOW...what a show. The guest appearances by Uncle Kracker and Miranda Lambert (who opened) for a few songs was such a treat to an already awesome set. Great, great time!!

CONGRATULATIONS...

to Dennis and Jill on their engagement!! May you have a lifetime of peace, love and happiness as you prepare to join together not only as husband and wife, but as blended family with Nicholas, Nicole, Kristen and Jordan. We love you guys!!!!

High School ! ? ! ?

My little man is starting high school tomorrow. Tyler was supposed to start today, but Tropical Storm Fay canceled the first day of school. We are very lucky that Fay passed south of us, although she is threatening another visit inland. I cannot believe Tyler is a high schooler. I still have so many vivid memories of my high school days, how could they be so long ago? Does any high school student truly appreciate these 4 years or do we all reflect on how we took for granted this time in our lives? Homecoming, football games, prom, baseball games, sadie hawkins dance (do they even still have those or am I showing my age???), exams, SAT's, class rings, service clubs, "sign my yearbook"... To still be an innocent child, yet taking the first steps on the pathway to adulthood.
Tyler, my little man, I wish you all the best on this endeavor. You make me SO proud every minute of every day. Truly enjoy the next 4 years!!!
