The Weekend

The weekend started off Friday evening with a birthday party for one of my dearest friend's son. Cordell turns 7 later this month, but to have friends from school come they had it Friday night. It was a great evening of laughing and joking and talking with friends.


Saturday was a buzy day. My 3rd grade brownies bridged up into juniors. It is a truely awesome occasion. Emily, my oldest, is now a junior. This also marks a land mark for me because now I'm a junior scout leader and there are a lot more badges which require a lot more work.

We had it at the city park but had to use Plan B for the location because you can't reserve the pavilions and a lady had gotten there at 7:00 am to get the pavilion for her family reunion at 10:00 am. That's okay because we are Girl Scouts and we come prepared. I called parents and had them bring lawn chairs, sent Marty to borrow some from friends, I already had tables and Cheri called Mike for more tables and we just set up our own location next the bridge. I think it was actually better because the girls were closer to the parents this way and could be heard better. We had our Court of Awards first, which is where we give activity patches and badges earned to the girls, then we bridged the 3rd graders. I was very pleased with how it turned out.

Next we were off to the house to unload, change clothes, and water the Butterfly Memorial Garden before heading to Kristi's house for her girls' birthday party. That was lot of fun, about 10 girls, 2 boys and a Karaoke machine. How relaxing!! Hee Hee. It really was a lot of fun.

Then us adult girls took Tammie out for her birthday. Enough said. This we must do more often.

Sunday was the sad part of the weekend. Kristi's little sister, Sandi, lost her battle with cancer and has gone home now to be with our gracious Lord. Kristi was able to make it see her sister before she passed away but it is still hard to let go of someone so special. It makes me realize how much my own blood sisters mean to me, as do my christian sisters. I have been blessed with so much and this only makes me remember that more. Thank you God for the lesson you have given me through this experience.

(I will post pictures when I get a chance.)

Quick type something!!!!!

Yes I know it has been 2 weeks but I'm still recovering from getting sick at camp. GS Camp was great but it completely wore me out plus my allergies hated the cabin which I'm sure had mold and plenty of dust mites. But the important part is that the all the girls had a great time and it is over!!!! I will not, repeat WILL NOT, do that again.

I did not get the opportunity to take a lot pictures and I'm waiting on my moms that did to get me some. So here is the only picture that I have:


Course now that I'm doing physically better I have another marathon weekend. Tonight at 7:00pm is the Relay For Life all night walk at Cabot High School. It is from 7:00 pm until 6:00 am and then tomorrow my brownie troop is starting the construction of the Memorial Butterfly Garden in memory of Breanna Hammaker, our sister brownie we lost in October of 2005 to brain cancer. So it is going to be a very long weekend. No-dozs anyone????

I will try to take pictures. It should be a lot of fun, if I can stay awake. Oh and Marty and Erin will be there with me. Emily is going to a birthday slumber party and will probably get more sleep then us. Isn't that ironic.

Well got to get moving. I've got to get things really for tonight.
