One Year..

So, had I not looked at BFF Almost 34 K's blog, I would never have known that I too, have been blogging for a year. My first post was on July 4th of 2008. Check it out here.

So, because of the 4th, the best holiday of the year, if it wasnt for this holiday, this blog or any other blog may not even exist. Independence. Freedom.

Lets pray that the independence and freedoms we enjoy now, we will continue to enjoy forever.

So, our plans for this day...

Nothing, Nada, Zilch...Poppa T is working today, oh what fun he will have in the ER!!!

We started our day chasing down Haden's pet turtle, Rex Army Tyson, in the neighbors yard.

We built a pen, but he is still finding a way to climb out. Thats one tricky turtle. Then he pooped in my truck...have you ever seen a turtle poop? Not much different than anything else pooping, but in a smaller amount, thanks goodness.

That was his revenge for us tracking him down yet again and keeping him from escaping back into the wild where he really longs to be. So, I decided I deserved to treat myself to a Grande Caffe Mocha after that.

Then we came home and here I am, blogging, which makes me happy since I havent been doing much lately.

Today will be spent like every other day off I have...cleaning..I am this close to getting caught up with laundry...I believe though I have come to the point where I really dont care whether my house is clean...I spend hours every weekend cleaning, and then by Sunday evening, it looks that same as it did when I started.

So, I guess as long as the dishes are done and laundry is clean, I am ok.

Happy 4th , my friends...
