Girls Day Out

Yay! It's finally the much anticipated Friday! :D :D I took the day off to have a "girls day out" and to get ready for Kevin to come home. We had a very nice lunch at Taco Mac, and then we went off to get pedicures.

I had to embarrass the girls a bit, so I tried to attack "the feet." LOL

I was wishing I had all of their tools and gadgets at home to have our own pedicures.

But, as you can imagine, it's nasty work. Hehehehe....

Some things are better left for the professionals.

After the pedicures, we went to shop & look around the downtown, historical part of Newnan. We had a really good day until the day had to end on a bad note. Due to bad weather, Kevin's flight was cancelled. He tried to book other flights but they too were cancelled, so we had to spend another day without him.

My 39th Birthday

THIS is what I came home to (after work) on my 39th birthday. Kevin was TDY & Megan was out with her friend for the day, so Nicole took it upon herself to make my birthday special. She didn't make a cake but made a rice crispy treat instead! She wrote out "Happy B-Day" with chocolate covered sunflower seeds. Yummy! My, what great ideas does this child have!

She also made the decorations in the background, AND she cooked broccoli & rice casserole for us! It was great!

Oh, and she gave me lots kisses

and hugs. :D It had a great birthday!

Oh, and my co-workers also had a nice surprise for me at work. They brought in a cake & gave me a gift too. Thank God for all the love & blessings I felt today. Like is GREAT!

Candy Run

Tonight we had to make a candy run! We were all craving something yummy, so we hopped in the car and headed to Walmart for something sweet. Megan drove us, since she has to have some night time driving hours under her belt before she gets her driver's license in October. :) Oh, what a sweet summer night!

Blueberry Pickin'

Not too far from where we live, there is a place where we can purchase fresh fruits & vegetables. There is an "unmanned" vegetable stand where you simply select your fruits/veggies, pay for them (using the honor system), and leave.

Not all of the fruits are sitting on the table. Today, Megan & I went blueberry picking. We enjoyed going thought the blueberry bushes picking out the berries we wanted. There was a little problem, I must admit. I think I ate more berries than I put in the container. Those little berries are delicious.

Because it was so hot outside, Nicole waited in the car. Of course, I kept the car running so that she could stay cool. Yes, we did share the blueberries with her later. (Funny how Nicole is allergic to many fresh fruits/vegetables, but she doesn't have a problem with fresh blueberries.)

Megan, the blueberry pickin' chick.

I just love the hair. :)

Kevin Leaves

With a really heavy heart, I took Kevin to the airport on my way to work today. I felt so empty as I left the airport because I won't see him until 6 Aug. :( I pray that God protects & takes care of my best friend.

No Surgery for Me - Keeping My Bunions

I decided to keep my bunions for now & chickened out of having the surgery. Kevin has been TDY (Temporary Duty Station -traveling for his work) & has other trips planned, so I think it would be best to wait a while longer. From what I hear, the recooperation takes a while, and I will not to be able to do a lot of things for myself. Someone in the house will need to be able to drive. I'll need his help & besides, I don't want to be "out of it" on the girls' first day of school. I want to be able hear about their first day of school.

Independence Day Celebration - Ft. Benning, GA

We celebrated the 4th of July at Fort Benning, GA. There was a huge celebration, which was a lot of fun. There were lots of games, yummy food, beer, loud music, fireworks, and lots of people. We had a blast!

The girls got patriotic tattoos. Kevin & I relaxed outdoors the entire day. Boy, was it a HOT and humid Georgia day!

Megan waiting for the fireworks and tried to keep cool by drinking fluids....

..Still waiting for the darkness to come..

Megan & me.

My big babies.... They both decorated sand bottles & placed their bottles in this little tiny box.

I only downloaded a few pictues today, but maybe I'll add more pics later. It was a wonderful day. Poor Kevin - Even thoug he was tired, he drove all the way home. The girls and I slept the hour & a half it took to get home.
