To Grandmother's House We Go

Yesterday was Grandparents Day for me and Amy. We ate lunch at Bay Breeze with Nana, Daddy, and Matthew. Then Amy and I came up to see Grandma and Grandaddy. We had an excellent dinner, like you would have thought different. And Grandma made CHOCOLATE cake! It is fantastic. Today we played Phase 10. Grandma won. It was a lot of fun. Amy had to leave for work but I am staying another night.

Update on Atley: He checked into orientation on Tuesday night. He went to a lot of vendors and got 5 goody bags with pocket screwdrivers and pens. The last time I talked to him today, he said he was going to a water park! Sounds like fun! Yesterday he ate at Jack Stack's BBQ and said it was awesome food. He bought one of their sauces. He spoke with people from Idaho and Texas. He said the Idaho people talked funny...but they probably said the same thing about him. LOL. Well, I'm going to get off of here.

Atley in Kansas City

Hello everyone.
Hope your week is going well. Atley left today for Kansas City, MO to compete at the National Level for the Skills USA Competition. He already won state and he is hoping to bring home the National title. He was supposed to leave out of Asheville at 4 pm today but was delayed until 5:30. His original route was to leave Asheville, go to Detroit, then Chicago, and finally Kansas City. Now instead of Detroit, he is going to Cincinnati. He will be back on Saturday afternoon. I will be sure to update his winnings when I find out. I'm going to my Grandma and Grandaddy's for a few days to visit with them. I am excited!! Well I"m going to go because I'm going to my brother's baseball game.

Beach Vacation

Got back from Myrtle Beach yesterday around 5:30. Amy and I had never been and we all had so much fun. Thank you Momma for taking us. It was a memorable vacation. We had a lot of fun. On vacation, we went to the Family Kingdom Water Park and also the amusement park. At the amusement park, Amy, yes I said Amy, rode the 8th best roller coaster in the U.S. It was so funny. She was screaming like someone was murdering her. :) Momma and I rode the log flume and she got soaked. We bought the picture that they take when you are going down the hill. It is very funny. Amy and I made sand castles with Amy's pail and shovel. Momma confused this little boy by telling him that he was knocking on the wrong room, that he kept knocking on 23(we were in 22). It was so funny. Maybe you just had to be there. Amy and I ate 21% of the 170 item buffet at Captain Benjamin's. It was delicious. I will post more. and I am going to see if I can do a slideshow of the pictures but I will need momma's help. Hope everyone else had a wonderful week. We sure did!

ONE more day!

Good morning everyone. I am sitting here at work listening to some 80's music. Can't Fight this Feeling by REO Speedwagon to be exact. :) Anyways! So tomorrow Amy, Momma, and I head to Myrtle Beach Sea Mist for vacation. So excited. Matthew will be snubbed for a while since he ditched us(just kidding on the snubbing.) So last night was Rebecca's Performing Arts and it was so good. Amy went with me and I really think she enjoyed it. Well I am going to go and "do some work." Yay beach!!

Good Weekend

So on Friday, Jordan graduated from high school. On Saturday we had a party for her and also "to entertain." Aunt Debbie, Uncle Neal and his wife Angie came down and visited. It was really nice. A lot of fun too. The glass table top broke before the party started, it was VERY, and daddy caught the burgers and the box they were in on fire. It was quite an interesting party. So on Tuesday, Rebecca (Atley's sister) has her ballet recital at Hendersonville High School at 7 pm. They are doing Snow White this year. On Wednesday, Performing Arts, which is where they perform all the dances they take to competition. I am going Wednesday if anyone wants to go. Have to work on Tuesday...grr. oh well. so 5 days until we leave for Myrtle Beach. WOO HOO!!!!!

Spring Cleaning

Hello everyone. Hope you had a wonderful weekend. I am off today so I am really cleaning up my room. Dusting and even cleaning up my closet. I'm also cleaning up my room because we are having a party on Saturday night. Partly to entertain and also to celebrate Jordan's graduating from high school. In other news, I sent in all my application stuff to Western Carolina so now I'm just waiting to see if I get accepted. Keep your fingers crossed. Also its countdown to the beach. 10 days and off to Myrtle Beach. Very excited!!!
