...in October, on the 11th to be exact, I received a phone call at 6 a.m. from my best friend Shela's husband.  I asked what was wrong and he told me that Shela had passed away in the night.  I immediately ran to be with him and the kids after calling our Pastor's C'Cie and Jim.  Evidently, he sent her to bed about 11:30 and when he went to crawl in bed at 5:30, she was dead.  She had JUST celebrated her 33rd birthday on the 8th.  Shela was a great person and so laid back that nothing flapped her except the use of the word "Crap."  She was always fussing about someone using this word and not realizing it was also a curse word to her.  She loved to cook and she loved to spoil her family and friends.  I surely do miss her smile and hearing her call me at just the right time, for no apparent reason other than that she was thinking of me.

...LOL  I got a paint bucket file from someone on SCALHints yahoo group and while I had h-e-double-toothpics cutting it for some reason, it is done!  What do you think?

We had to postpone Jessa's ultrasound to the 25th.  It was going to be tomorrow but I could not take her and it was too late to book a ride with Sooner Ride which is a service provided by Sooner Care of Oklahoma to get people to their Dr's appointments.  So, postpone it we must.  Anyway, these were taken yesterday and while you may not be able to see much change, I can see plenty.  I guess most people do these once a month, but I am trying to be proactive.  I would really like to take some good maternity pics when I can.  Not saying that I can, but hey, I can try anyway!

In June of last year we finally settled on the color and paint we wanted for the outside of the house.  It probably took us six months to make a decision and still, when we went in to order the paint, we changed our mind yets AGAIN!  ROFL  But we love the color and it only took a week or so with the help of Ronnie, a friend of Danny's, to get it all painted.  The house and shed are now a lovely two tone green and we love it!  Anyway, I need ideas on how to finish this layout.  I know it needs help, just not quite what would make it great!  Thanks for any ideas you have!

With school, Dad and Church, I have had zero time to scrap.  This year, I am determined to do better.  So, here is my first layout of 2010.  ZoomZoom.  It is about my car which I bought in May of 2009.  It is the first time I have had a car UNDER 6 years old.  I did not get to write that on my layout because I ran out of space.  I am thinking I may finish up the story on the back.  We will see.  Anyway, without further ado:

These are pictures Danny took of a couple of vehicles off the road in this mess.

Ok, so you may not have known I was taking a photography class since I focused on PhotoShop.  LOL  But I did indeed take a Photography class and am now sharing my favorites.

Her due date is estimated at June 2.  Here are new pics.  I still think she is farther along than that!  Oh, and she had an u/s today and is having a BOY!

Here a few more files I created in my PS class.  They are not going to let me take Illustrator next year, so I am somewhat bummed.
