Survived the big 4-0!

Well, The big 4-0 was yesterday, It was a simple easy day and sometime those are the best! Lorna and I went to Denny's (free on your birthday) and went to park place mall and watch Karate Kid (good movie!) we rommed around the mall abit and headed home, I then went out for a little drive and went to the zoo and strolled around for a few and sanpped a couple of pictures...went to dunkin donuts-been craving it since I moved to AZ. Had a great chat wiht my dear frined Jenny as well. It was raining so we changed our plans and went to Bruce's and Linda's house for dinner. Lornas's boyfrined Bill met us there. We had a nice dinner and a nice visit. Greeting from Facebook friends and a package and funny emails from Jenny made the day special as well!

life is precious!

Sometimes we get so busy in our daily lives we often forget how precious life is...how often we have someone or something in our lives and before we know it, it's no longer there. Over the last few weeks we have watched a dove built a nest, lay some eggs and then begin planning her family, before we knew it, there was a cute little family in the nest. I'm thankful I was able to get some cute pictures of all of them..OH SO CUTE!! Yesterday, my dad came in from the porch to tell us one of them had died. He was found by the back door...No sign of momma bird anywhere and only one lone baby remained in the nest..it was suggested to put some seed by the bird so it wouldn't starve...wel lI climbed up there, somehow spoked it and it tried to fly between crashing into the post and the dog it broe it's neck and also died. It was really sad!...I was heartbroken and felt really bad. I also knew how much all of us enjoyed watching them.

It's official!!

Well It's fiannly offical....after 20 years I fianlly have my drivers licence!!
got it on july 7th..WAHOOO!!! What a adventure that was!...My dad and I have the car licenced, registered and insured and a fresh oil change...it still need some work and that is goign to take about 600.00 more to get it where it needs to be. But it is so exciting to finally have the freedom I have so much been wanting...I went thur a wonderful driving shcool here in tucson and let me say everyone was so great and patient..it's been great! was able to do all the road classes in jsut 2 days and passed both the driven and permit test wiht a 100%...it dosn;t get better than that!!
The 7th I took a small drive with Lorna and the goal was to go to the "turtle park" but it was getting dark and I decided to head back...jsut want to make sure I take it slow and not get stressed out...yesterday we tried again and TADA!! we made it to the park wiht no problems....I felt more somfortable wiht the car and it's all coming together...here's some pictures of my fist offical outing wiht my new baby!
