I forgot

I forgot I had a blog. Not really I just haven't updated it in months - mainly because i don't think my life is all that interesting. Plus, I'm not even sure if anyone reads this at all. So, if you do read this blog drop me a line and let me know you are out there. My 2011 resolution is to be a more consistant blogger. 


Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!

Time Flies

Two years ago today, Keith and I had our first date. Each summer his office had "Lake Day". Keith invited me to go to Lake Day with him. I finally gave in and decided to go. So, after being home from Honduras for 1 day I packed another bag and drove to Georgia and met Keith.  Lake Day was fun. I drove the sea doo faster than Keith (that's my claim to fame).  2 years...where has the time gone.

What's Going On With The Harpers

What's going on with us? Nothing much but I'll try to update everyone. I'll start with Keith first.

Keith is the manager of the Cobb hatchery in LaFayette, TN.  Basically, he's the boss over everyone there (well, they don't have too many employees yet). He's in the process of getting the hatchery built and hiring his assistant and other employees. This job is different from his job in Athens with respect to the type of chicken he will be hatching. Basically, he's hatching grandparent chickens. In a nutshell, the farther back you go on the chicken family tree the more expensive the chickens. So, the sole purpose of a grandparent chicken is to have parent chickens whose sole purpose in life is to have chickens that we eat. There is so much genetic stuff that is involved with chickens that I actually have no idea what they do. Did you know chickens have earlobes? Yep, some are white and some are red AND did you know that the earlobes dictate what color the egg will be (brown or white)? Anyway, in my second life i want to be in the top 10% of the Cobb pedigree chickens. They get treated better than the Peabody ducks.

Keith was rear-ended by a car a few months ago and LaFawnda (his Toyota Tundra) was totaled. We got Keith a new Ford F-150. It's really nice. I love being a Ford family.

My update. I left HCA in January because the drive to work was awful!! I am now back at Franklin American (the company I worked at before i went to PSI. Which speaking of PSI, they were sold a few weeks ago and it looks like the new company isn't going to retain very many people, if any. So, it was a blessing when i left PSI).  I work with possibly the best boss in the world. I am a financial analyst and I am loving every minute. I love being back in Franklin because i get to have lunch with Lisa and Mary almost every day. It's great!!

Keith and I traded in my explorer and bought me a new 2010 Ford Edge. I love it!! It is an awesome vehicle. Once again...I love being a Ford family!

Keith and I celebrated our 1st anniversary by going on a cruise to the southern Caribbean. We flew to Puerto Rico and then sailed out of Puerto Rico. We went to Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Croix, Antigua, and St. Martin. St. Martin was our favorite. I'll post pictures later.

I had my gallbladder removed in March and I feel great! That is one organ i don't miss. I had my surgery at Vanderbilt and they took great care of me.

I have taken up sewing and i L.O.V.E it!

Well, that's the update. Nothing too exciting. Thanks for checking in.

My New Hobby

No, I'm not talking about Keith but rather sewing. I took my first sewing class last week and loved. So, this past weekend i bought my own sewing machine. It's pink and it's so cute!!

Countdown is on!

With less than a week to go, the countdown has begun to our anniversary cruise. I've never been on a cruise and I'm looking forward to it; however, i will probably have Mary Withdrawals while Keith and I are cruising.  We leave Sunday morning and fly to NC then we fly to Puerto Rico. We actually set sail from Puerto Rico around 8:30 p.m. local time. 

Let's see, what else has been going on...oh, Keith bought a 2009 Ford F-150. I can't tell you how much it did my heart good to see him buy a Ford. A good ole American made Ford!!

Oh yeah, i had my gallbladder removed about a month ago. I was home from work for a week. I had no idea how much my abs would hurt and I certainly did not realize how much I use my abs in every day life. I use them ALL THE TIME. I couldn't do anything without feeling as though i had pulled a stitch. I'm back to normal (and i know that's a relative term) now and looking forward to eatting all the yummy food on the cruise.

There is no "S"

one of my biggest pet peeves is related to :

This is a picture of St. Jude Children's Hospital.

The place is called St. Jude.

There is no "s" at the end of St. Jude.

It is St. Jude, not St. Jude's.

Remember Me??

it's been, oh, i don't know couple of years since i last posted anything. Maybe i'll do better this year posting to this blog. If i don't, i'm sure I'll hear about it from Mary. Anyway, as we approach our 1 year anniversary (thanks for all the prayers) Keith and I decided we would take a cruise to celebrate.

We are going here:

And we are going on this:

Also, if anyone is wondering (or even cares) I will not be going to Honduras this year. Keith and I won't have enough vacation time in June/July.
