A Donation

During the year when my building is open I allow my employees to wear jeans on Friday if they would like, the catch is they have to pay a dollar so each Friday is called denim for dollars. So at the end of the year we decide what we would like to do with that money they can either spend it on something for the building OR donate it.

So over Thanksgiving break if you remember that my building was broken into and also with some other things the denim for dollars money was taken. But since then we have raised over $100 dollars which is actually a lot if you count the number of Friday's we were there minus the month of December for Christmas break and Spring Break. So before everyone left on Friday their vote was to donate the money to the Domestic Women's Abuse Shelter here in town so today that is just what I did and it really felt good to help those people.

Last Day

Today is my official last day at Medary until August 31st.....we will close our doors at 2pm and all of my employees are very excited. To me it does not even seem like it could be this time of year already.

Speaking of this time of year my sister-in-law and I had the same idea for our post today (great minds think a like right?)

When we moved into our new home it was during the winter months so we had no clue as to what was planted for landscaping but much to our suprise we really like everything we are seeing. I am very suprised how well it was kept up plus the previous owner left the tags next to each plant so we knew what it was...nice lady.

Don't worry we are going to get rid of the ugly edging.

I want everyone to put the date June 21st on their calendar that is going to be Trevor's birthday party....it will start at 1pm and go until whenever!

A New Toy

Jon and I being the nice parents that we are decided it was time to buy Trevor a power wheels. My mom and dad bought him a gator for his 2nd birthday but they keep it at their house so he has something to play with when he goes to visit. So most nights at home he is looking for something like that to play with.

So we got him the John Deere tractor and trailer and he loves it. The bad part is, the stupid tractor has 3 gears: reverse, 1st and 2nd and 2nd geat is WAY TOOOOO Fast for him, everytime it is in 2nd gear and he steps on the gas he gets wip-lash and laughs harder everytime. He loves it and that is all that matters.

Notice how both pictures I got his back, well that is because he went by my way too fast and I could not snap a picture fast enough (you can kind of see the smile on his face from laughing at me).

Rummage Sale

Well this Saturday I am having a rummage sale and let me tell you it is going to be a HUGE one!! Since we have sold our last house most of our things went into storage because we moved in with my brother he had almost everything. And not knowing what kind of a house we would move into we would buy things here and there thinking we might need them, well we have been in our house for 6 months now and our storage unit is still full so it is time to sell. We have tons of decorating things, mirrors, clocks, a grill, tv, patio table and chairs, kitchen table and chairs and not to mention a ton of hunting things Jon is going to sell. It is going to be one day so I told myself to price things right! The best part is that our whole block is doing this so hopefully there will be tons of people. We got a flyer in our mailbox a couple of weeks ago telling us all about it and Jon and I knew that we would be in!

I sure hope it is a nice day!!
