Updates by Me

If you have been wondering what happened to me, my computer petered out. I have been without it for a couple weeks almost, I think. Since then, many things have been going on. To name a few, Spencer went to a full week of a special LDS Scout Camp. He has been pretty exhausted since he made it home to say the least. I also celebrated another birthday on the 11th of June. I was amazed when I received a card from my cousin, Matthew's wife! I have a hard time keeping up with just my immediate family. I was pretty impressed. So impressed, that it motivated me to do alot better in that department. I also started a 6 week session, teaching Jazz to Gabrielle and a few other girls in my basement. How fun it was to get moving that way again! Christiana is anxious for me to start with her too. It happens to be Ansley's birthday today. She is our little one that didn't get to stay here on earth with us. She would have been 11 years old today. Time really flies, doesn't it?
We have also had a lot of DRAMA in our neighborhood lately. Our renting neighbors were evicted and actually left their dogs ( Pitbull dogs ) on their back deck for several days without food or water. Apparently, they broke free and were then put back in the garage by these renters for several more days. Animal Control came to retrieve them. I don't know if they could have survived that, especially in this horrible Georgia heat. Before all this had happened, we have seen the cops at their home several times. ALSO, a little girl down the street was apparently bitten by a neighbor's dog while the owner was holding it still so that she could pet it. The bite was so bad, she was rushed to the hospital and now will need plastic surgery. The owner was so angry, he shot the dog. CRAZY STUFF!
On a lighter note, Father's Day is tomorrow, and I sure wish I could see my father. He is the neatest guy you'll ever meet. He lights up a room, sees the good in others, and is full of wisdom. I love to be around him.
As soon as I figure out how to download pictures on this laptop, or our computer gets fixed, I will add some more pictures. I love reading all of your blogs! Keep it up!
