Bubba Truck, and the last 2 weeks

Soooo much has happened since I last blogged, but first the latest exciting news in our family! As you can see Steve is standing in front of his new truck!!! His Forerunner, was starting to need new roters (part of the brakes) about every 2-4 months because he is towing his boat several times a week. Add that to the fact we have both wanted a pickup for quite sometime, but couldn't justify it. So this gave us a real excuse to buy one!!! We are both soooooo excited. It is a 2008 Toyota Tundra, made for towing. The men can look up all the stats on it if they want to know. It is the 4 door double cab, 5.7 liter motor. It has back seats that have as much room as the forerunner did that lift up. It has the 6 1/2 ft bed. It is cool!!! Steve calls it his Bubba truck. He says all he needs now is a gun rack and a shotgun in the back window! Right!Now starting a about a week and a half before all this. More tuna! Aaaahhhhhhhhggggggg!!! Steve promised me he wouldn't go for 2 weeks and that he would only keep 3. This is the latest batch, making the total 492 1/2 pints and 123 frozen bags!Next Megan,Greg and Amy came. It was really fun, we watched more Lost, ate cookies, and enjoyed each others company. We left on Sunday to go to Mindy Hollingsworth wedding. Here are some pics.

We were there just 1 day and two nights. We only got to see Ginny for about an hour. She had a family emergency, so she flew in at 11:30 pm the last night we were there.

On our way home we stopped at Jake's and Lyndsey's. Here are some pics of their fam, and house! Miles roomRuby's roomJake and Lyndsey's roomtheir bathroomtheir guest bathsome living room picsHallway-exciting I know!Kitchen and Dining roomthey painted all the walls, it is very beautiful!

We got to see Megan and Greg for about 10 min. We stayed at Jake's for a couple of hours and then left :-( it was too fast! Then made the trek home. I am needless to say, tired. I want one week w/o going anywhere, no Tuna, and no guests. I love all the above, just need a break!

Well, I love you all, I have been thinking about how blessed I am to have such a wonderful family. I have wonderful parents, sibs, children, and grandchildren.
