Yesterday kicked off the best time of the year for me:  college football season!  Mark and I had 4 of the most sought-after tickets in Hampton Roads:  season tickets to the Inaugural Season of ODU football.  (his mom got them the day the went on sale, over a year and a half ago, as a birthday present for him)  We were going to take DJ and Cowboy ( Read more... )

Dad had his followup appointment with the oncologist yesterday, and it was the best news we could have hoped for!

Doc said that his case was definitely tricky b/c he had a fair amount of tumors to remove.  However, they were non-invasive and not fast growing - none had penetrated the bladder wall.  He'll go back in 3 weeks for a procedure to make ( Read more... )

I worked at an event representing Regent all day on Sat May 30, then the next day I dj'ed a wedding of a Brother (ADI folks:  Celeste Craver is now Celeste Draughn!).  Got home around 11, unloaded, packed, showered, and then Mark and I headed off to Richmond.  We rolled in to the hotel room around 3am.  I pretty much got 2 hrs of sleep; Mark got ( Read more... )

I know this is short - but don't want to go into much right now...too much to process at the moment.

Yeh, I know I'm bad about updating here...sue me ( Read more... )

Last nite, we had a hellacious storm roll through - wind was whipping around like crazy, rain...I heard tha wind kick up, and immediately pulled in our house flag.  (right now I'm flying a 'Happy New Year' flag)  Not a half an hour later, around 8pm, we heard a very loud POP! and then the lights went out.  Here's the annoying thing - the street ( Read more... )
