Six Things That Make Me Happy

It seems that I have been tagged to list six things that makes me happy. Thanks Ondrea for making me feel a part of the adoptive blogging network:))

Ron and I are thrilled at the thought of the safe arrival of our first grandchild. I know that is a very obvious thing that would make us happy, but its all so new and exciting at the moment.

Tonight I had driven to Auburn for a celebratory dinner with Ashley marking the safe arrival of Wyatt. We decided to get a pedicure before dinner. They were just filling the tub with water when her cell phone rang. Soon to be Dr. Ashley Warren, DVM was being paged back to the clinic to handle an emergency. It made me happy to see her reaction and response to her chosen profession.

Since Ron is rotating to India at the moment I get really excited and happy when the computer rings with a call from SKYPE. Email, Instant Messaging, Skype, Web Cameras are all so cool! Thanks goodness for modern technology!

It makes me happy to travel and I enjoy seeing things I could only read about as child growing up in rural Alabama. Never in my wildest dreams as a child did I imagine we would spend over 14 years living overseas! Traveling in Alabama in the 60's indicated a trip to Flordia or maybe the Smokey Mountains:)

I love getting Christmas cards especially when they have photos in them! Also, Ron and I have several adoptive blogs we like to keep up with and it just blesses our hearts to watch these children blossom in their new families!

Ron and I are happy as two peas in a pod after 33 years of marriage! He makes me smile when he calles me "dollie friend!"

I will beg off on tagging others as many seem to already been tagged

We Are Grandparents!

We are now grandparents! Kasey went into labor this morning, and when I talked with
Andy early afternoon I was amazed at how calm he was! As the afternoon wore on I called Ron in Deli and woke him up to pace the floor with me:)

Andy and Kasey welcomed their first born (Wyatt Wilson Warren)today at 4:06pm weighing in at just over 7lbs. Andy told his dad that the baby has more hair then the two of them together.

Ashley and I will fly out to Kyle on Dec 26 and Ron will arrive Dec 28. Pictures by the New Year for sure!

God is good!

Merry Christmas ya'll!!!!

On The Road Again

Please pray for my soulmate of 33 years as he leaves today for his first rotation to India. Prayers for travel safety and protection from the top three risks in India of malaria, dengue fever, and snake bites will be really apprecitated. Would you believe that 50,000 people died in India last year from snake bites?



I will remain safely in Alabama with two fierce guard dogs for protection. They look friendly, but once my nephew decided against entering the yard alone with them.

By the time Ron returns from this hitch we will most likely be grandparents. How cool is that?!?
