As time goes by...

I was telling someone this weekend "The Story of Mark & Cin", how we met when we were kids, grew up together, never dated til after high school, and ended up getting married. It made me realize yet again how blessed I am to call Mark Hillenburg my husband. Which would not be possible were it not for his wonderful parents, George and Linda, one of whom has a birthday today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINDA!!! I love you, and am so grateful that the Lord has blessed me with a mom in law like you!

We kept the Liles kids overnight Sunday(kent & ethan), and then Monday(k, e and nat) until Jon and Becky got home Monday night. They are hilarious. Kent and Ethan won the dance off at the JV Superbowl party,
Ethan's new motto is "The ladies love a winner", and all three are good at the Wii.
They paid us the highest compliment by telling me they had fun staying with us. We had fun too!


My grandma Hazel passed away on the 29th. She was 91. We got to see her at Christmas, she was very lively and funny. She has always been very ornery(which I mean in the best way anonymous) and was certainly that when she was here. I said at her service that she made the best fried potatoes you've ever eaten, the best chicken and dumplins, and the sweetest tea you will ever drink. She loved my grandpa Basil more than anything, and I am so happy she is seeing him again. They have left a very sad, but happy, family here. I can't wait to see them again. Sometimes heaven seems so close, and yet so very far away.



I don't have anything else to say, and i have three baskets of laundry to fold.
