Holy Moly

It has been ages since I blogged.  I think I really need to get back in the swing of posting.

This weekend appears to be a wash out with the tropical storm coming our way.

💦💦💦💦

Finished a NETFLIX show, it had 8 episodes and was called Safe, it was really good. Had some good twists and turns. 


My birthday is coming up as well as our Anniversary which will be 24 years.  I can't believe it is going to be October soon.

To Date

Erica competed at the Delaware State FFA completion this past week for Horticulture. This is not her normal study but she wanted to try it anyway. It was a lot about Plants/Flowers. She competed on a team with 3 other girls. They ended up finishing in 3rd place which was really good, because she was really nervous about it.

Lacrosse has started again. She was picked for the JV team again this year and is playing more defense.  They won their first scrimmage on Tuesday.

She will be getting ready to do her Agriscience project with George again this  year, they will compete for the State Title in June, they are going to try and make it again to the Nationals t his year.

Erica got her class ring, this year is really flying by. She is also and official driver, got her license a couple of months ago.  Watch out if you are driving through Delaware.

Terrible Blogger

I have really slipped up on the blog. A lot has been going on. Erica went to Kentucky again for FFA Convention. She and her friend, Sydney placed 8th out of 15 teams from the entire country. Which was very awesome. Erica also made the honor roll again, she has started off Freshman year great.

Happy July 4th

The 4th of July started out very rainy. The parade was cancelled all due to the weather from the potential Hurricane. The fireworks were postponed until July 5th. It really cleared up about 4:00, turned out to be a nice day, about 80 degrees with a nice breeze.
We hung out at home.

Erica got her braces off about 3 weeks ago. She looks so pretty.

Snow Day and Bitter Cold

Erica's school was cancelled today due to snow. Mike and I were still on vacation, so neither of us had to go into work :)
We shoveled the driveway, while Erica played and took some really cool pictures. Brizzie loved the snow. Erica was out in the cold most of the day playing as well.

Merry Christmas


Mike and Erica are on Vacation and school break. I on the
other hand still have to work the rest of this week and then
I too am on vacation. We will be celebrating Erica's b-day
on the 31st (New Years Eve).

Christmas was very nice. Had a great ham that was given to
Mike from one of his contractors. We actually slept in for a
change. Erica was waiting on the couch to open presents when
we woke up. She still gets excited.
(I will post pictures of our Christmas later)

I can't believe it's December 1st already. This year has sure flown by. Only 24 more days till Christmas. Next we will put up the tree and lights on the house. I started decorating the inside today. It's a really nice day today. Football is on the tv right now, we will be getting wings and pizza for football Sunday. Not looking forward to the coldness of December but love the festive atmosphere.

FFA Convention, Report Card

Just a short post, Erica got back from her FFA Convention, it was the first time she flew on a plane. Her first ride there was scary she said but her ride back was better. She had such a good time she is going to do another project to get back there next year.

Also she received her first marking period report card. She has A's and B's. On Wednesday she was inducted into the Smyrna Middle School Junior National Honor Society.  She has been having a good school year so far.

9/11 Memorial and Fire Prevention Convention and Parade

Erica went to the Fire house for the 9/11 memorial and was also part of the Winning the Governor's Cup for Citizens Hose Fire Company. This is the 34th year in a row they have won this Cup. It is a very big deal here in Smyrna.

FFA/Fire Prevention Queen Parade

Erica and her friend Ashlyn competed at the FFA Science Fair in the category of Plant Eco System. They Placed First in that Division. They will be headed to Kentucky in October to compete in the National Science Fair. Good Luck Girls.

Erica also interviewed at the local Fire house to be one of their Fire Prevention Queens. She was selected as the Junior Fire Prevention Queen for the Citizens Hose Fire Company. Her first duty was to ride in the Smyrna Clayton 4th of July Parade. She had a great time and she said she never waved so much in her life. She will be attending many more parades and will have to go in September to the big Fire Prevention Convention where she will be judged for a possible trophy. Wish her luck in all her activities so far.



The Fire Company also had a band from Dublin, Ireland that performed. They were really great.
