New Computer

I am back and finally remember my username and password to add new pages and info on here. My computer crashed and was not worth fixing so I have a new Sony laptop that I love and thought I would leave an update.

Pictures to come!

Morgan's 4th birthday

We celebrated Morgan's birthday at home with some of our favorite friends and their children. Everyone seemed to have a great time.

February 28, 2008

The morning started out as usual. I dropped off Morgee and headed down 64 to Asheboro. I went by Biscuitville for a quick breakfast and then headed out to go to my first daycare of the morning. Thursday is always busy. Morgan has dance after daycare and I take her and her friend Zoe over there. Zoe's mom Janna meets us there shortly after class begins. This Thursday would prove to be very different.

At about 8:20am I turned left onto the street that leads me to We Care Daycare. I pass in front on South Asheboro Middle School. And then, out of the corner of my eye, I see something ( I am trying to comprehend how it can be a car) coming at me... from the side.... fast. And I have no time to break... only to scream... as it hits me.

Time stands still. I must black out. I remember hearing this horrific noise- the crunch of metal on metal. The windshield cracking.. the airbags exploding. My car was a 2003, so it is not equipped to only let out one airbag if there is no passenger. I cannot hear, but it comes back relatively quickly. Must have been the force of the airbag. Then it all stops. And I have no idea what happened.

As it turns out, the guy that hit me was attempting to make an illegal Uturn from the right lane across the left lane I was in and was hoping to end up in front of the middle school to drop off his kid at school. Let me point out 2 things- ILLEGAL and there is a specific driveway set up for parents to drive through- safely- to drop off the students.

I ended up calling 911 from the ear piece I was wearing on my ear. I was afraid to get out of my car but opened the door and let my seatbelt off to make sure I could out if the car ended up on fire. EMS and the police arrived shortly. I was lifted from the car with a neck brace on and on to a back board. It was probably the scariest thing I have ever experienced in my life. I had the chance to call Bob before they got me out of the car and he sped his way to meet me at Randolph hospital. On the way to the hospital they had to cut up my jean's leg in order to make sure my leg was not broken- I loved those jeans!!

Thank goodness for friends- as we were in the ambulance I told the EMT that my friend works in maternity at the hospital- and repeated her extension about 1000 times so I would not forget it. As it turns out, Zoe's ( morgan's friend) mom Janna, who is a good friend of mine, works at the hospital they took me to.

After spending the morning at the hospital, it turns out I did not break any bones. I ended up being very sore from where the seatbelt locked and where the airbag hit me. I ended up with a burn along the underside of my chin from the airbag, abrasions on my eyes from the chemicals in the airbags and 6 cracked teeth. All in all, I would have to Thank God from the bottom of my heart. Because it could have been MUCH MUCH worse.

It was determined without question that the other guy was at fault and we are in the process of getting my medical bills paid and a settlement worked out.

Here are some pics from the accident...

Happy Chanukah, Merry Christmas!!

I just realized I have become a procrastinator. Better late than never, I guess. Happy Holidays to all!! I am going to post some of our pictures that we took for the holidays this year. Some of you may recognize one of them from our holiday card.

Happy New Year to all! Bev, Bob, Aimee and Morgan

Band Competitions

Aimee is a member of the Ledford Panther Regiment this year and they have been traveling everywhere from Southeast Guilford, where they won Grand Champion (Band of the Day) to Dry Fork, Virginia, where they competed this past Saturday, which was there last competition for the season. Enjoy these pics of Aimee- we are so proud of her!!

Everybody's Day in Thomasville

At the end of September, Thomasville hosts a street fair called Everybody's Day. Morgan danced with her friends from their dance studio, which is called N2DANZN (into dancing). She had fun dressing in her cheerleader shorts which were purple and her green and purple shirt.

Where did October go?

I apologize- I apparently have missed a complete month. A COMPLETE MONTH! Where did Oct. go? Let's see, Morgan continued in dance, Aimee went to band competitions, then there was Halloween. And now it is November! I will post some pictures to cover all that I have mentioned. And I will update you late on in November as well. Bev

Morgan dresses up

Bob was laying in bed last week when Morgan caught sight of his pants on the bench. Unknown to him, she decided to try them on. When I came in the room it was too funny for words and she had a blast!!

Happy Birthday to Aimee!

Aimee turned 14 on Sept 1st. We tested her humor at her birthday this year. Morgan is a huge fan of High School Musical and to say it nicely, Aimee is not a fan. Well, when we went to get her a cake, we could not resist playing with her a little as you will see in the pictures. Happy Birthday to Aimee!!

Marching Band

This year Aimee is attending Ledford High school and is participating in Marching band. I have attached 2 pictures from band camp. In one she is clearly seen. In the other she is all the way on the left side of the picture in the background. We love going to the games to watch the band. Morgan is their biggest fan!!

Bob has had his Lasik surgery

Greetings! As some of you know, Bob decided to have Lasik surgery in August. Well, it has been about a month and he has done great. He went in thinking the surgery would be a quick and simple occurrence, but he has such issue with light and his eyes that it proved to be quite a challenge for both him and Dr. Stonecipher. The only really rough time we had was the afternoon and evening after the surgery. Every day after that his sight and how his eyes feel have improved. Here is a pic of my handsome hubby with no more glasses or contacts!! Bev

Is August almost over!!!

Wow! I cannot believe how quick this month has flown!! I will update with pics as soon as possible!!
Love to all! Bev

UNCG Summer Music Camp for Aimee

Aimee is getting ready to begin UNCG Summer Music Camp for the 2nd year in a row, tomorrow. She will be there for a week, overnight, and the camp concludes with a great concert. We cannot wait to see her shine as she becomes more and more adept at playing her clarinet.

July is a busy month

Hello! July always seems to fly by in our household. Bob celebrated his 39th birthday on the 3rd. Then we left for the beach on the 7th and I got to celebrate my 32nd birthday on the 8th. We went and stayed at Cherry Grove in North Myrtle Beach, at Bob's parents' house there. We had a great time playing on the beach, eating at wonderful restaurants, walking around at Broadway at the Beach and at Barefoot Landing, going to see Ratatouille at the movie theatre at the new mall, visiting the aquarium and just enjoying time together as a family. Even our pooch, Brandy, got to go with us. Enjoy the pics I have posted. Bev

Trip to Georgia 2007

Morgan and I began a tradition and for the last few years we have been traveling to Georgia to visit "Grandma and Grandpa" for about 2 weeks during the summer. This year, unlike in the past, I decided to make it a real adventure and drive. It took 9 hours going and then 9 coming back but Morgan and I had a grand time and it was really easy! We had a great time playing with my parents for 2 weeks and wished we could have stayed longer!!

Bathroom Update

Greetings~ it has been awhile and I apologize. There is lots to update. Bob made killer progress on the new bathroom while Morgan and I visited my parents in Georgia in June. Enjoy the updated pics!

Our new pool

We got a pool and boy did Morgan have fun this weekend swimming with mommy and daddy. Even Adam came over with AmyDawn and baby Hannah to play in the sprinker and swim. We will update with those pictures when I ask AmyDawn to email them to me. :) Here are some highlights of us in the pool.

Dance at LMS

Aimee is getting ready for Ledford Senior High next year and they had a dance at Ledford Middle as the year wound up. Here you see Aimee with her friend Hannah. Morgan also had fun posing with her big sister.
