Only five more days until mom and dad are in Texas. The girls at work can't believe how excited I am that my parents are coming into town. I guess it is because most of them have parents that are only a couple of hours away so they get to see them on a more frequent basis. The only drawback to them coming is that I have to clean the house; and all that know me know that is one thing that I really don't like to spend time doing. And do you think I can "recruit" the husband and kids to help? Ha ha!!!
We don't have things planned while there are here except for on the 28th. Since they have not been to Dealey Plaza and the Sixth Floor Museum yet (the spot where Kennedy was shot), and I have not been to the Sixth Floor Museum, I thought we would do that. We'll just take the train into downtown Dallas and walk around. There is plenty to see in downtown and it will be some good exercise and hopefully some good weather. Other than that, we'll spend the time visit and just 'going with the flow'.
Sara, Cami and I are really looking forward to coming to Michigan in the summer to see everyone (except Priscilla, Craig and Melissa, darn it). Unless things change within the next couple of weeks, I am going to look at flying us up there. I really don't like the idea of us driving that distance, especially with gas prices the way they are.
And for anyone that is interested, even though she officially graduated in October, Sara has decided to walk the stage with the rest of her class. The ceremony is scheduled for Monday, June 9 at 8pm. Whoever came up with that date and time must not have been thinking clearly!!! We are going to have a combined graduation party for her and her best friend Lauren, probably that weekend. For those of you who don't know (or have forgotten), Lauren is the girl who lives across the street. She and Sara have literally grown up together as Lauren's parents moved in across the street before she was born, so the girls have known each other since they were babies.
So, all said and done, I am counting the days until Mom & Dad get here; counting the days until Sara's graduation; and counting the days before summer vacation. LOVE TO EVERYONE!!

It's great to hear that Sara has decided to walk the stage with the rest of her class, it doesn't seem like a big deal on the surface, but it really brings to closure your primary schooling experience. Looking forward to seeing Deb, Sara, and Cami this summer!! ...wish the other 2 could make it too, but I do understand! ...and I'm going to miss seeing Mel, Cilla, and Craig too! (hmmm, might have to spend some $$ and fly up to Denver! :-)
Gee Rich, just make one of your flights with a looong stop over in Denver! Deb, if you've checked our blog, we are on the way!
We're gonna miss everyone too!!! However, The Bean probably wouldn't like us too much if we tried to make the trip. :) And, Uncle Rich, you can stop by any time. Or take a long layover - we're only 20 minutes from the airport and would love to visit over coffee. Thanks for the update and glad to hear that Sara is walking. I think she'll be glad she did.
Time for a new post - We're here!
Well, Dad, since you are here, you know what is going on. :)
But I don't! Need a new post:-) Oh yeah, you're too busy visiting! Hope your visit is going well! See you in July!
