Memorial Golf Tournament

Today was the Memorial Golf Tournament in memory of my Aunt Carolyn that passed away in March. Her husband Bob and children Collin, Courtney, and Corey (son-in-law) put it on in order to raise money for Relay for Life. The one day event raised nearly $9000 and counting! The turnout was great, even Emma Grace and I went to cheer on our favorite golfers. The event was in Monroe, so after my LONG 2 hours at the Ninth Grade Academy, I picked her up at Memma's (that's Sherry-she changed her name!) and off we went on the 1 1/2 hour trip. Emma slept all morning at her Memma's, so I was afraid she would scream all of the way, but the sweety decided she would only scream for the last thirty minutes! We finally arrived around 11:30-Just in time to feed my starving daughter-then off to see her daddy we went. My husband Dusty, brother Trey, Coach Glenn, and Sister-in-law Bethann all played in the tournament and ended up -13 for the tournament. Not quite winners, but close! Emma strolled thru 4 of the 18 holes with her dad, he can't wait for his little Tiger to get out there and play with him. She also had a great time playing with her sweet cousin Ella. Bethann's friend Erin was a student of Courtney's and she decided she would ride along with the group. I wish Carolyn could have been there, she would be very proud of her family!

Blog Complaining Works!

Well after my Friday night woes, my sweet husband woke up Saturday and read our new form of communication...THE BLOG! Isn't that terrible. Well, it worked 'cause he felt so bad that after my FULL day of hair, he took me out for an early birthday DATE! Emma stayed with her Mimi Gailey since Papa was in Canada, she was practically begging so that she wouldn't have to spend another evening alone. I can't say I blame her. And not that she ever has to ask! Anyway, we took advantage of the evening. Our date started at the Olive Garden, where I ate everything on the menu that I had been craving since my pregnancy began over a year ago. Things like salad, o man how good, that I had been craving due to the fact that it made me too sick during my pregnancy and Emma too gassy while nursing. I ate it all, including the Cheesecake, yum! Anyway, after dinner we took a stroll thru the mall and stayed 'til they closed! Dusty knew that the next two weeks are going to be crazy, so he went ahead and let me pick out my own birthday and mother's day gift! I am sure I will always get a birthday/mother's day gift for the rest of my life. I know what those poor Christmas babies mean! But that's ok, they are all the gift I really want! Well, the evening was great and the extra sleep on Sunday morning was even better since Mimi wanted to take her to church with her after their spend the night party!
Emma and I ended the weekend in Blairsville. We went to visit my grandparents who are completely in love with her while Dusty went to Youth at church! As you can see, it ended up being a great weekend and Dusty and I will work on the whole blog communication issue!! (This is probably news to him as he will read this before we talk about it!) Just kidding, I thought that would be a funny ending though!

Friday Night

As I sit on my bed, laptop in hand at 11:30 PM, all alone, I am wondering WHY ON EARTH AM I NOT SLEEPING? Dusty is gone on ANOTHER golf trip. He took the girls to play at a nice course in Atlanta and to a nice dinner in Buckhead to finish off the season. AND WHAT AM I DOING? Baby duty-AGAIN. Not to complain, I love to be with Emma Grace more than ANYTHING in the whole world, but where date night went? Who knows? I got so bored today that I decided to take Emma to Gainesville. She screamed all the way there, she cried in the store, then she cried all the way home. These new teeth are going to make me crazy. Needless to say-I should have never made that MISTAKE! I sure am glad golf season is almost over. Maybe I'll get my husband back. I don't think I've really seen him since January, at least without a cell phone in his ear or a bag packed up ready to go again. I think my sister's dog-Phoebe, my cat-Harley and I will just stick this thing out together. By the way-the weather sure was beautiful this week!

Bunco Babes

Monday night was Ladies Night Out Bunco for Relay at the Community Room in Cleveland. Mossy Creek puts it on every year to benefit the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. We raised around $3000 playing Bunco with approximately 120 women. The night was full of excitement, and the ladies (and Marshall Anderson) had a great time. I allowed my Esthetician Students from the Technical College come and enjoy the night instead of spending the evening in the classroom. I don't know about them, but it was a great change for me. We were able to demonstrate for the ladies how sun damage has affected their skin and stressed the need for Sunscreen and necessary procedures needed to counteract skin cancers forming on their faces. Everyone was completely disgusted with what they were able to see through the Skin Scope we provided, but I have to admit that I enjoyed seeing everyone's skin through the scope. Afterall, my favorite thing in the world is extracting gross things from peoples' faces. It's immediate gratification. The evening ended way too soon, only leaving us with the desire to play again. Can't wait 'til next year. Now, here are some photos you'll love!

The BUNCO LOSER! Can you tell?

So Much LOVE!

Since I just had to have a night to myself, Monday night I went for a fun night at Bunco to benefit Relay for Life. Emma Grace had a blast with her aunt Bee and her boyfriend John(Emma's that is, MOVE OVER BEE, he's mine!).
