AND I can't wait! Since Tay has moved in with us and will be here full time next Summer, it was time to make over her room, it's the only one in the house I've never touched. For 13 years, I think I was secretly waiting for this day to come and now it's here. I don't want to give away too much because it's going to be a total surprise and her birthday present that she'll get to "open" early. She and her roommate Emily are coming home for Thanksgiving, that's less than 25 days. I need to get busy! I will try to post a before and after picture when it's done. But for now, you'll just have to wait!
Ooo.... you make me live
whatever this world can give to me
It's you, you're all I see
Ooo... you make me live now honey
Ooo... you make me live
You're the best friend
that I ever had
I've been with you such a long time
You're my sunshine
And I want you to know
That my feelings are true
I really love you
You're my best friend
Ooo... you make me live
I've been wandering round
But I still come back to you
In rain or shine
You've stood by me
I'm happy, happy at home
You're my best friend.
You're the first one
When things turn out bad
You know I'll never be lonely
You're my only one
And I love
The things that you do
You're my best friend
Ooo... you make me live.
I'm happy, happy at home
You're my best friend
You're my best friend
Ooo... you make me live
You, you're my best friend.
Forever and always. Here's to the next 15! I love you more!

My goodness....how time flies by. School, girl scouts, work and life just keeps on truckin... Let's see it has been since Feb since my last post, what has happened since then.
Flowers for Izabella from Me and Steve
These are all the cards from all of us to each other.
These are miniature orange roses, they lasted for about 3 weeks, they were so pretty.We hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day and were able to spend time with the ones that they love.
He's been trying to diet so we had to make this on one of his "cheating days"...but yummy as always!Thank you to everyone that helped with donations to Izabella's Jump Rope for Heart campaign. She earned $660 this year for this wonderful cause!
Wow, I can hardly believe January is over and now we're almost 1/2 way into February. So much going on. Izabella's Brownie troop is selling girl scout cookies and she ended up selling 127 boxes. YAY! The troop is going to sell at several booths over the next few weeks and well see how many more we can sell. It's been fun.
Now, the Jump Rope for Heart is going on and she's trying to get more donations for that and she can't wait, because last year, she earned the most money at her school and then she came down with Strep throat and couldn't jump rope on the day of the event. She was so upset. So, we're doing it again this year.
Her Brownie troop is always working on another patch and this one is for Community Service and they've chosen the local animal shelter to work on. They are in the process of gathering donations of shredded paper, blankets, towels, wet cat/dog food, pillow cases and then they will take a tour of the facilities and then they will work with the cats. They will get to play with them, groom them, read to them and they will get to see what it's like at the shelter.
Izabella also got her 2nd report card a few weeks ago and it was straight A's again. She's really excited that she will be able to sign up for the Spelling Bee next year. They can't do that until they are in the 4th grade but she's already working on it. :)
We'll see what the rest of the month brings us....
