"AMAZING"

Yesterday, Elaine and I were having a telephone conversation when Jeremy asked his mother to open a pickle jar. Jeremy was surprised at how easily his mother opened the jar and exclaimed " Mom You Are AMAZING." Courtney quickly chimed in with her older brother and exclaimed " Mom You Are AMAZING." I could hear Elaine's excitement and I could tell it made her day. When I arrived home, Courtney immediately shared the AMAZING story with me and how it made her mothers day.

Nineteen Years and Still Going






ELAINE & CLAY. . .just celebrated our nineteenth anniversary at Saint Petersburg Beach, Florida. It was an adventure! We took our chances and used Price Line to find the hotel. WOW! what great deal! We wern't sure if we made the right decision at first, but it worked out great. We were able to up-grade the room to a bungalow for free and received free parking and a beach cabana at no extra charge. What more could we ask for, right?!? We enjoyed getting away and spending alone time on the beach. We watched the sunset while eating in the Grand Hotel that had a revolving restaurant and got to shop at our first two (2) story Publix. (of course the parking garage was the part that made it two-story :)









I can't believe life goes by so fast. It feels like yesterday, I saw this beautiful young lady walk into the Marion County Clerk's Office. I remember running up to the counter to meet Elaine and hearing her talking about the blue jeep in the parking lot and the rest is in the history books.
