My birthday was great.

Howdy!! Shane finished up with his training on Friday, so we decided to get away for the weekend for my birthday and a little R&R. We did do lots of that. We ended up staying in a cabin near Lake Lure. It was on someone's farm that they built this cabin. On the website it was said to have had a pond. Well, the pond dried up last year. We brought fishin' poles and everything. It rained anyway. We ended up going to Rutherfordton to eat Friday eve, went too far back trying to get to the cabin again, and ended up near Marion. Wow!! We did enjoy ourselves. Went looking around Lake Lure and stopped in all the shops in the next town up. We met Shane's brother in Rutherfordton on Saturday to eat. Went to Asheville Sunday and got's lots of good deals for the bouncer who will more than likely be with us by the end of August. I am excited, but nervous. I've never done this mommy stuff. It will be a whole new ballgame for Shane and I. Working with 2 year olds is a whole different story. Well, here is a pic of the cabin. It was very pretty.


Well, I am biding time before Shane gets home. We need to run to Walmart and get a fire extinguisher. I would have got one today, but didn't know what size and all. Then, I went to Walmart to get some pictures made. The machine that took jump drives was downloading a new program. The machine I wanted didn't take jump drives. Everything but those. Wasted trip! Oh well.

The fire inspector comes tomorrow, then we have to have our physicals tomorrow. I am not looking forward to it. I am switching to Shane's doc in all this process, and the nurse practioner wants to take blood, and the WHOLE physical, if ya know what I mean. I am not wanting to do it, but I guess it must be done.
Two more days left of this semester. Yeeeehhh! I am so ready for a couple weeks off before I start up again.

Well, I shall go. Shane is on his way. Finished his last test.

So very sorry!

I guess we are living up to our blog name. Gilleons on the Go is just what it has been. We now have a peaceful home after 2 wks of hosting family. It was fun, but I was very tired. When you are just used to the 2 of us, and bringing in 3 or 5 more. Wow!!

We had a very enjoyable time @ Pigeon Forge with my family. My brother is now remarried. let's see if I can figure out how to put another pix in here of them. It was a very pretty chapel. My ma worked very hard on the food in our dainty chalet.








We are about to finish up our foster paperwork. YehhhH!! That has been a challenge in itself. With college, this foster pw, Shane's class @ college. Wowww! Our house has been very quiet lately with Shane at the computer and me at the kitchen table writing away. All you can hear is the clicking of the computer keys. Shane's friend Big Bill come over and wondered if he had the right house, haa. At one pt you could hear a pin drop. Not for too much longer. I am excited about this adventure we are about to take, but nervous all in the same breath. With God's help, we'll do good. Bible school was about faith, and I learned right along with the children.

I have just scheduled my next semester. Crazy me is taking 2. I hope I didn't make a mistake. We'll find out soon enough.

For now I better go and get to work.
