Yes it is coming fast. 8 weeks away and will be here before I know it.

Dr. Nohr phoned a couple of days ago and wants to do my bypass laproscopicaly (sp?). I am quite excited about that since that will make for a shorter recovery time.

Yes we need to talk sometime. It has been so busy with kids as I know you are too.

Looking forward to our get together in the spring.

had to share a funny moment -call it a wow moment if you want to;

my 15-year -old son was goalie coaching 10 year-olds last night and i went to pick him up, one of the boys leaned over and said, " hey, Zac, is that your girlfriend?" and pointed to me......i nearly fell over - my son said very politely, no, that's my mom.......i was trying not to laugh too hard and looked at the boy and said thank you, you made my day...he was just a wee bit embarrassed and of course some of the parents heard and couldn't help but comment...too funny

i get carded at the casino, at lounges and at liquor stores, but that one topped it all!

What a great wow moment Carrie.

My son, the same age, would have crawled into the ground. I substitute teach at his school and he asked me the other day not to talk to him in the hallway. He said it's embarassing!!!!!! Oh well teenage boys. You better believe when he wants something (especially money) he doesn't seem to embarassed to come and talk to me.

Love the story Carrie. Love the new avatar........you look very young and hip.
