Busy Busy Day

It was a very busy day. I work in Conway, SC which is about 28 miles from where we live in Myrtle Beach. I got a call at the last minute today that Bryanna was hired as a Jr. Counselor for the County's summer camp this year. Great news but she had to be at a required First Aid class at 6:30 in Conway. So I left work at 5, drove over to the ballfield to pick up Andrew and Bryanna, dropped Bryanna off at class and drove back home because the class was suppose to be 2.5 hours. When Bill got home, we had dinner and were heading back to Conway when Bryanna called at 8:30 to say the class was over. It was originally suppose to be over at 9:00. Well, there was no rushing to go get her because the traffic is awful with the holiday weekend coming up but we got there around 9:05 and all was well, there were still a bunch of kids waiting for rides. She will be Jr. Counselor at the same camp Andrew is going to so hopefully that will work out.

Anyway, last night was the Spring Concert featuring the Myrtle Beach Middle School Orchestra so we went over to the high school to attend. Before the concert, the school held a fund raiser called a "Dessert Social" I hope no one from Weight Watchers police was there because I think I ate my points for the next, um...3 months maybe??? They had about 8 tables loaded with bite size pieces of every kind of cake, cookie, brownie, cheesecake, or pie, you could ever want. They also had a really good punch and coffee. Andrew wanted a cup of coffee but chocolate, coffee and Andrew do not make for a good evening.....Anyway the concert was great and the orchestra played music from "Pirates of the Caribean" We now have an awarding winning violinist in the family!
A few weeks ago, Bryanna participated in a competition with an ensemble and received 2 Superior ratings!

We also have a very pretty AND smart niece in Conneticut who was inducted into the National Honor Society this week. Did I mention she is a very talented basketball player and track star???



This is Ashley with her boyfriend, Ben who was also inducted into the NHS. Congrats to both!!! Uncle Billy can't wait to meet Dan this summer!

Baseball game tomorrow afternoon and then we head to Elgin for the weekend. My dad and Bill will be going to Lowe's Motor Speedway on Sunday for the Coca-Cola 600. Dad is a Jeff Gordan fan and Bill is a Dale, Jr. fan so it is always a fun time for them both! The kids hope to get some swimming in and I hope to work on my scrapbooks!!! Hopefully the weather will be nice.
I hope everyone has a safe and happy Memorial Weekend!

Recital and Sweeney Todd

Last Sunday Bryanna's violin instructor hosted a recital for all of her students at the Methodist church. My dad took a good picture of Bryanna while she was performing. She played a couple of songs, Turkey in the Straw and the other song, I can't remember the name. Anyway, it was a real nice recital and everyone came to it and afterwards we all went to Logan's for a late lunch.

We also had gone to Elgin last weekend and my dad and Bill went to the Darlington Race. They got to go in the hospitality tent for Wachovia and some of the driver's that came in were Richard and Kyle Petty, Kasey Kahne, Ryan Newman, and Robby Gordan, there were more, they all drove DODGE cars.

Andrew has been a little obsessed with the Sweeney Todd movie as of late, so last weekend he had his Legos out and made a Barber Chair that flips backwards, he also made a switchblade ( a little strange I know) He also made a WWII plane like we saw at the Air Show a couple of weeks ago. My dad took some pictures of what he made so I posted them.

Very Relaxing Saturday!

Not sure what Bill is doing. Bryanna went to her friend's for a sleepover and Andrew is with his dad. Chewy is destroying a bone next to me. Who knew I would love this little bratty doggy so much? I would like to get a little girl pug, one of the black colored ones BUT we have no room. I have a million other things I need to be doing but here I sit! I have 3 more days with this class I am taking and then 2 more classes to go until GRADUATION! It has only taken me.....20 years! Work was terrible this week. I think Bill had a stressful week as well. I feel asleep on the couch at 10:00 last night, got up at 5:45 Am to take the dog out, went back to bed and did not wake up until 10:30 AM but I have felt pretty good today better than I have in a while. The bikers are here and it is quite a show when you ride around and see all of them. Well, I am glad I got this started as I have been wanting to for awhile just never had the time. Hopefully, I can keep up with it!
