5th Wedding Anniversary

To celebrate our 5th anniversary, we had a weekend getaway to Canaan Valley, WV. Grandma and Grandpa McArthur watch the kiddies, which we really appreciated. Doug and I got pulled over on the drive down and officer asked us, "Are you going to prom?" We said, "uh, no...it our anniversary." He let us go with a warning. We had fun playing tennis and golf. It did down pour during our golf game, but we found shelter in a shed.

Grandpa Folsom's funeral

My grandpa passed away. He was a very talented Jazz musician who helped shape the Jazz program at Marshall University. My memories of him include orange roughy, sherbert, triscuits, hide the mushroom, his underground house with a pool on top, big smiles and hugs, and of course his short shorts that showed of his tan legs. It was nice to see family though it was under the circumstances. Mom, Aunt Chris, and Grandma Sandee played a beautiful musical number at the funeral to honor the man of music.

Tri-baby Shower

In April, I threw a tri-baby shower for three beautiful pregnant women- Jami, Mary, and Kim. They all are due within a week of each other and are all having boys! With the help of many friends (Abby, Liz, Amy, and Tara...THANK YOU!", we had yummy salads and paninis (grilled sandwiches), accomplanied with fresh fruit kabobs and sherbert punch. To keep the tradition going, I made sure that each expecting mom got a quilt. The girls helped make part of each others quilt so they can have memories of their friendship. It was fun for me to take on three quilts in 6 weeks, as I've only been quilting for less than a year. To see their faces the day they saw their quilts for the first time was the best feeling ever. Who knew that pieces of fabric could make someone so happy...wait what am I saying...fabric always makes me smile...but in reference to giving. We had a great time!
