Jill's birthday on September 1st

I had a great birthday this year, that was celebrated over several days.

Dan treated me to a massage on the Saturday morning prior to my birthday. Jill, the massage therapist, came to the house. It was awesome!

On my birthday, I received 3 dozen beautiful mini roses at work from my wonderful husband, who also took me out to dinner that night. The first graders at school gave me homemade birthday cards and sang to me. The cards and the kids are so cute!

All of my sisters and their families, Dan's mom, my parents, and a few friends--- either came by, called, sent a card or an e-mail. Thanks for all of the wonderful cards, gifts, e-mails, and birthday cake. Our nephew Nick wants to know when he can give me all of my birthday spankings?! I think your hand might get too tired!

Where did August go? It sure was busy and fun!

I'm not sure where all 31 days of August went.

We spent a lot of time getting Dan's classroom ready. He is teaching a 5th/6th grade split class.

We spent a few days at the cabin relaxing.

My parents 50th anniversary celebration was this month in conjunction with a wonderful family reunion. Welcome home Elder Adam from Guatemala! We all had lots of fun, and it was good to see everyone and get an updated family picture!

On 8/28, Dan and I had the opportunity to be "Amazed" and sit 5 rows from center stage of a Lonestar outdoor concert. They played all 10 of their number 1's and many new songs from their new album that will be released in February. It was Amazing!!!!
