Can you say BUSY??

Thanks for stopping by! I have been a bit remiss in updating my little blog lately. Please forgive me!! I have been quite busy of late, and will fill you all in on the details...I know how we all like the details!!LOL!
First of all , my oldest son left yesterday to tour with his band. They are headed for Detroit!! I know they will have a great time, but this old groupie will miss him terribly:)
Second, my youngest son is headed for Germany tomorrow!! Can you say, "We haven't packed a thing!!!!" Nothing like procrastinating to make life a bit more exciting:) He will have a wonderful time, and I am so happy we were able to send him. I think international travel is a great opportunity for our young men. We were able to send our middle son to Japan a couple of years ago. He was amazed at the different culture, and wants to return someday.
My middle son and I have been shopping for his dorm room at UAB. What fun it is to watch him pick out all the things that will make his space feel like home away from home. While we were shopping, we ran across a friend we know from church (an older couple) and the husband said,"Why didn't you just give him a couple hundred bucks and let him shop by himself?" I looked at him and said,"What fun would that be? This way I get the pleasure of his company, and he gets "extras" because I am here!" I found that to be so true. There are so few moments where I get to be alone with just one of my older boys. I love to spend one-on-one time with each of them. They are all so very charming, and handsome, and sweet. They like to shop with me, get a coffee with me, or sneak out for a nice lunch with the "Momma"!! How cool is that??!
