It has been a while since I blogged, there have been many tears shed between my last blog and this one. The reason why? Well, we decided to update our operating systems and changed to Windows 7, so that meant a complete hard drive reformat, etc, and in the midst of everything, my dear sweet, so helpful, so going out of his way husband, didn't down load all our pictures, just some.... So after the help of {brother-in-law, EE, Garmin employed} Ted, we discovered that they were indeed LOST. FOREVER. S.A.D..... sadder for my husband {mainly, because I was sad}. So all that to say, BOO HOO. But I am thankful for Facebook and all the other techie stuff out there, we've been able to get a lot of the lost ones... just a few key ones are missing...
But in during Justin's break between summer school and fall start, we went to Chicago! So fun to be close to such a GREAT city! And our favorite Rara was there with us too! We had a blast!!

Justin's dream chair... we will never, ever own it... because we have kids,

Africa for the price of the chair~ instead he can visit it at the store! |
