Numerous trips to Texas
Numerous trips to Louisiana
Lots of weekend trips
Lots of minor medical problems with me. Lots of weddings, new babies in the family. Lots of football games, baseball games, other Auburn sports events. A 13 and 0 Auburn football season! Taken over 5,000 pictures!! Gone to lots of concerts! Lots of musicals! Not too many movies. Hit 2 deer. 1 car wreck (totaled). Bought 1 SUV and 1 Honda Accord.
Gosh…we endured so much although it doesn’t seem like that much just listing all this…I might come back and add more.
And what’s to come? Well, no more babies for us. We can look forward to raising the 2 boys that we have. Watching them grow, learn, make mistakes, and hopefully grow to be responsible young men with prospering careers! I look forward to lots of travels, good food, good health, and much much more!
