Many Updates

Since my last post, Bret & I saw Taylor Swift in concert, along with Kim & Olivia. Soooooo much fun!!!!! Taylor is AWESOME!!!!

Hubby celebrated his 41st birthday.

Bret & Lee had their last school dance of the year & Cody went to his 1st school dance.

My brother Jeff & his precious little girls Dakota & Brilee came to visit. While they were here, we also got to spend time with my other niece Jasmine. I love having these kids around!

We went to see a Memphis Redbirds game. So many of our friends & family went with us to witness the 1st performance of Bret & the Nettleton Jr. High Dance Team. I'm very proud of them!!! They were awesome! I'm looking forward to a year full of dance performances.

And last but not least: we have these 3 beautiful Mallard ducks that seem to think they are now pets (or dogs). Jonathan has started feeding them dog food, so now they come up to the garage 3-4 times a day looking for food. The smallest duck even has a duck band around his leg. They're very cute, but are starting to leave a mess all over my garage by pooping everywhere. Now to find a way of keeping them in the pond & not in my grarage. Hmmmm...........

Well, that's all for now. Hopefully I can do a better job of keeping up from now on. I think things are finally gonna slow down for the summer.

Oh yea, I also broke down & joined Twitter!!! Follow me here: http://twitter.com/lolabeal.

Snow Day 2009

We had a wonderful snow day in Jonesboro this weekend that started out of nowhere on Saturday. The flakes were coming down so hard and they were huge! It started covering the ground pretty quickly. It continued to snow through the night & when we woke up Sunday morning, we had about 5-6 inches. Wow, it was beautiful. But it didn't last very long once the sun came out. It was pretty much melted away by late Sunday afternoon. Cody did get out for a little while Sunday morning & enjoyed playing for just a little while.

A Wonderful Community

Finally....We got our cable back, which is also our internet. WOO-HOO!! I can't complain tho, because we did get our electricity back late Saturday night. There are still tons of people in Jonesboro & surrounding areas that still do not have electricity & even some with no water. All this due to the recent ice storm last week. Boy, you don't really miss the simple things in life till you have to live without them. There's been a lot happening this week & hopefully I'll have a new post up soon. But for now, I'm still praying for all those who are without electricity that they will get it back very soon. I am so thankful to live in such a caring & giving community. People are so kind here, always pulling together in times of crisis to help strangers like they're family, even when they need help for themselves. I could not dream of a better place to live than Jonesboro, AR. Would you please keep our state of Arkansas, also Missouri, Tennessee & Kentuky in your prayers? There are so many people who still need prayers & help.

If anyone who reads this needs a place to stay, please let me know. We have extra bedrooms & bathroom, with lots of extra room. We would love to have you as our guest as long as you need it. Hot showers, tv, kitchen, you can do laundry, use our kitchen & have lots of room for kids to play. I mean that, from the bottom of my heart. PLEASE let me know.
God Bless!
