"Papa, we love you!"

This is for Papa, because he wants something to read! LOL! He is so close to retirement! Only 2 more weeks left but he only has 5 days that he has to work! Unbelievable! Where did those 30 years go? You would think after you give a company that many years you would at least get a thank you, but since GM closed down in OKC , we had to go to Kansas City and they really aren't fond of us okies! So they basically have said don't let the door hit you on the way out! I say all that to say how proud I am that he has given most of his adult life to this company just so he could make a living for his family. He would get up before the crack of dawn and drive an hour to start work and then most of the time he would be out doing work at the church in the evening and it would get us back home so late, but he did it because he loved his family so much and he wanted to provide for us! We are grateful for his dedication to GM, and even more than that his love for the Lord and his family! Yes it is the end of his career at GM, but he has a new career that he is so excited about, he can't wait to get started! He says he will get to use his brains for a chance and not his body! I know he will be great at what he will be doing! Another thing he does great is loving our grandbabies! That is the best thing about going back home, we get to see the babies and be there for our 1st grandbaby from Candace! So, I say all that to say, "Thank you!" for you have done for our family. I know you have made a lot of sacrifices and for that I am grateful, and I know our children are as well! We are proud of you!

Just for PaPa!

This is just for PaPa! He gets on everyday to check my blog and the girls, ( Candace and Keli's) so last night he said after checking, " What happened with Grana, as usual there is nothing on her blog!" I haven't been posting because for one I do Facebook more now days and I really don't feel like there is that much going on with my life to write about! Not to mention I am not a writer! But after thinking about it last night, I thought I would share with you, all two readers, how proud I am of Mike! He took a test this last weekend for his HVAC license, and he passed! He was so worried about this test! I really wasn't because I knew he would pass! He is very book smart! We are so excited for him because he will retire this year in July and now he has another career to start on! This one will allow him to use his brain instead of his body!! Anywhoo! We are counting down the days to when we can move back to OKC! It won't be long now! I wonder where the time went? Love you PaPa

Packing And More!

This is no fun! It is hard packing without my girls!! When we moved here, Candace and Keli both helped me wrap up dishes and all my "valuables'', LOL! I am getting it done but am very slow with it! I also have a job this time that I didn't have last time. I have a fury little one that thinks she has to be held 24/7 too! As she is sitting here in my lap while I am writing this! She likes her belly rubbed alot!! She is quite the fury princess of this house! She is getting groomed today because sommmebodddyy thought they could cut her hair!!! He found out he couldn't!! "SOPHIE"

Thanksgiving Suprise!!!

We went to suprise my Mom and Dad for Thanksgiving! They were so suprised! They had 11 new Black Lab puppies! They were so cute!

This is my new great niece, Taryn! She was a cutie patootie!! I love babies!!!!!!!!

Here is mom, Gigi with her great granddaughter, Taryn! We enjoyed our time with family on Thanksgiving! My older brother Jay and his wife Jackie were there, with her awesome Banana Pudding! My baby brother Paul and his wife Lisa were there as well, she had brought and amazing salad that I ate way too much of! My nephew Jeff and his wife Trina and their kids, Jesse, Taylor and Taryn came so they could see me! Well maybe the new puppies!! LOL!

I Forgot!

I have been told by my one loyal reader, that I forgot to tag someone after my last post! Oh no! He said that's how you play tag, and I guess that makes sense!
I am going to tag Angela over at The Bartlow Bunch! She has posted some really cute pictures of her new little Asa, so it's worth going over to just look at him!

I've been tagged!

The cutest grandbabies in the world!
I've been tagged! Whatever that means! My daughter did that to me, after my daughter in love did it to her! I'm not sure what I'm suppose to do, but I will try!

1. I have been blessed by a wonderful husband who loves me, inspite of my faults!
2. I have been blessed with three children, that I love more and more each day and
am so thankful for them!
3. I also have been blessed with two "in-law" children, which I like to call them
"in-love" in stead of in-law! I am so blessed that they chose to join our family!
4. I am really blessed beyond measure with four of the cutest and of course smartest
grandchildren!
5. I still have my parents who are busier now than ever! They are like the ever ready
bunny, they keep going and going! Praise the Lord for that!
6. I also have my husband's mom and dad who are blowing and going as well! Just be
sure to be off the road before Mom A gets on the road! LOL!
7. I forgot my little Sophie who has been a great heater for my bed! She really is a sweet
little puppy!

Pictures of my Lovely Family!

Candace and her friend and ours, Amy! It's freezing in Oct. and we are outside of Sheridan's ordering Ice Cream Concrete's!!
My baby girl and favorite son-n-luv! They were moving back home! Can't wait to move back too!

Same picture! LOL!

This one's for POPCORN!

Hey Baby!
I had to post since the girl's had posted! I couldn't be out done! LOL! I am number 17 for
tomorrow so it looks like we will get to go to the Farmer's Market! We are really excited
about that one! I will take some good pictures so I can post them for you when I get back
home! Miss ya! Love ya! How's the Chili Cheese Dip? Hope the Sooner's win tomorrow!
GOOOOOOO SOOOOOOONERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a day! We are in a Baltimore hotel lobby watching OU beat Texas! I hope they beat Texas! It looks pretty scary right now! It always does! The manager is having fun with us! He is a Youth Pastor from Arkansas! He has been so much fun! He keeps asking details of the game! We just got through eating Maryland Crab Cakes and WOW they are good! I think I might like it here! I am looking for crash pads as soon as the game is over! Important things first you know! I will try to post pictures later! I need to start bringing my stuff to transfer pictures with! We are looking at cruising the Harbor tonight! More crabs and lobster I'm sure!

I have some pictures of my home away from home and as soon as I get home I will post them for you! I have been walking to the stores here and it sure curbs your spending when you realize you have to carry what you buy back to the house because you didn't drive! LOL!
I am still sitting reserves, but I am the number 2 today so I could get a call! I don't like this waiting business too much! I like to know what I'm doing, when I'm doing it and where! I did sign up for flexibility and I am learning how that works! LOL!

Crash Pad!

I am asking what a grown, mature woman (maybe not mature!) is doing in a crash pad! It is better than the hotel, looking at four walls, at least here we can go shopping! I'm fixing to go do that!
I promise to behave! I will try to post some pictures of the house here so you with inquiring minds will be happy! This is really more of a lifestyle than a job, and when you are grown and mature in age it takes a lot to get use too! I will be going to Baltimore next more! That should be interesting!
Take care!

Pictures of Kendon!

My crew Jeff, Dodie, Karen A., Karen K., and the Captain John!
My sweet Kendon!
Kendon talking on the phone to his dad before we had lunch!
I promised all five of you who read my blog that I would post a picture of my lunch with Kendon and here it is! I also wanted to show you my crew from last week, we had a great crew and an awesome time! I hope you enjoy my pics! Let me know if you do!

Lunch with Kendon

I had the best time today with my son Kendon! We went to this great place called Citizen Cake. Our friend Claudia went with us and we just had a special time of visiting and eating! Of course you know with me around there will be food! He had Advocado Ice Cream that was really good! As soon as I get a chance I will post a picture of us!

Here I Go Again!

This is my crew from last week! Sandra and Jen! Awesome girls! We had a great time!

He is loving the ribs!

Sophie will be a year old Sunday! Happy Birthday!

I am really enjoying my new job! I just wish I could be closer to home! My hubby met up with me
last week and we got to go to the National Rib Cook-Off Contest! Right down his alley! He got to see me working and took some pictures, I will try to post those later! Here are some of him enjoying his ribs! We really had a great room on the VIP floor! We are really being spoiled!

Off Again!

I got the cutest phone call this morning from the cutest babies in the world! My babies started school yesterday and they are the smartest and brightest kids! I enjoy talking with them on the
phone but half the time I can't understand them! I just have to say "Wow!" They always have a great story to tell! I'm getting ready to go see the world again, NYC and Reno, I guess that is pretty much the world, I think all the people in the world either live in NYC or Reno! I hope to post some more pictures!

I am doing this for my hubby! He likes to read my blog and I haven't been posting a lot, like all three of my readers hadn't noticed! LOL! I have been trying to get use to my new schedule!
Somehow posting on the blog hasn't been one of the must do's! I had some great crews this last
week, and the Captain asked me to come up and see the sunrise in the cock pit, all I can say is
AWESOME! It is definitely one of the highlights so far! It is amazing to see at 40,000 feet in the
air! It is hard to imagine someone not believing that there is a God after seeing creation at it's
greatest. I hope the pictures will do it justice!
I had a great crew and we found a Mustang in front of the hotel we were staying at and one of the girls jumped on and it made a great photo op!

Finally!

I can't believe that I haven't posted! I have a picture I wanted to share! I had Danny Glover on my plane the other day! He was so nice! I was telling him how much I loved one of his movies I had seen not to long ago. I was telling him that I thought he was great in that movie but he was a little mean in it, he said he didn't know which one I was talking about, so I tried to explain it a little more, he still didn't know which one. I was talking later on that night to my daughter and she started to laugh and said "Mom, that was Samuel Jackson's movie!" Well, no wonder he couldn't think of the movie! He was a great passenger!

Please Pray!

I just wanted to ask all of you that know Candace to please be praying for her. They found out
she had Mono, which I didn't know still existed, she was still not doing good so she went to the emergency room and they drained her tonsils, sounds gross and very painful! They kept her in the hospital and is suppose to get out tomorrow, just pray that she will feel better soon!

Pictures From Trips!

Here are some pictures from my OE trip. The OE is overnight experience before you graduate, they have to grade you on how you work all FA positions, I guess to see if you are ready! I also will post some pictures of my Co-Heart trip, which that is where they give you a mentor to walk you through all your responsibilities and they are to help you any where you are having trouble! I had a great mentor and we have became fast friends! God blessed me with a believer! She was awesome and loved the Lord! Thank you to all of you that have kept me in your prayers, I really appreciate it!

I MADE IT!

I can't believe I haven't posted with the news that I made it through! I have been very busy, getting use to this new life! I will post some pictures of graduation and my first trip or two.
I'm sorry that is has taken me so long to get posting again! I was surprised to hear how many were reading! Thank you so much for all the prayers, it meant so much to me that I had such
great support! The only way I made it through was because of the prayer support from my
faithful friends! Thank you so much!
