MERRY CHRISTMAS LATE !!!!! (long post)

Wow I haven't blogged in a record long time. Over 3 months, can you believe that ?? Well, Lets see what has been happening at the Shreeve Household.

We will start with Shel, he is currently doing odd jobs and cutting wood to make extra money, he parted ways with Sonic a month or two ago. He hunts every chance he gets and is really into working out, he even bought a months membership at Just be Fit here in White House, I have to say, he has been working hard and you can tell, he is getting bigger.

Austin, he is still at Macy's the way the economy is, so bad I think he is lucky to have a job. He works all the over time they will let him, I believe he was working like over 70 hours a week, a few weeks ago, 12 hrs a day 6 days a week I am very proud of the work ethic he has. They have slowed down for now, but at least he still gets his 40 hours !! He and Callie will celebrate their 1 yr anniversary on the 8th of January, Her 18th Birthday as well. Happy Birthday Callie !!!

Dave, He is hanging in there, YRC aka USF Holland is going though some changes and while, no one likes changes, I hope that this is just a small bump in the road, that we will get past. The Union will be voting for a 10 % decrease in pay, to keep the shipping rates competitive with other carriers, and the company running. While we don't like it, we are very happy that he still has a job. It could be a lot worse.

Now is time for my update, Well there has not been a lot going on with me, I had quarterly taxes, and business licenses, got them done and out. Getting ready for Tax Season now.
Went to the Dr. and he said that I have fibromyalgia, and have probably had it for a while, and when he said that, I was thinking really ? I couldn't wait to get home and research it, and it seems I have almost every symptom, my ankles and knees have hurt for a long time but these other symptoms I have only had like about a year or so. I will be going to a Rheumatologist on the 27th of January, maybe he can do something for the pain. I'm sure time will tell. I will not under-estimate the power of Prayer and positive thinking.

Ok I know this is long, but, its special to me.
There is one thing I would like to share.
When the wii Nintendo Game first came out I thought how cool it would be to own one, but of course when things are new like that, they are very high priced, so there was no way to get one then. Almost a year later I had seen them on TV and looked at them, but still really couldn't afford one.a few months ago, my sister calls and she had won the whole Wii Bundle I mean all of the stuff almost a $600 value,from channel 4 News @ 5 o'clock . Oh how I wanted it every bit more, I was so jealous, So I tried a few days to win it just like she did, needless to say I didn't win.
ok now..... Ebay was giving away 42 during a "Deal of the Day" promotion, about 2 weeks ago, I spent most of my day trying to when this Wii. Needless to say I didn't win.

So for the last half of November and all thru December, I had harassed David to buy me one, Of course his answer was no we can not afford one, and every time after that, it was just a little more intense.

AND.......

Then my Uncle Mike called.
......My Uncle and my Aunt Sandra and I have got a lot closer this year, while we were taking care of Grandmomma and then afterwards, dividing up her stuff.
I miss her so much her birthday was November 29th .

Back to Uncle Mike calling, we talked a lil while and then he said If I knew about those wii's ?? He had a wii, he said that him and lil' Mike had stood in line at Best Buy at 6:30 am I think the morning after Thanksgiving, to get one, since they were in such high demand they both got one, Lil'Mike got one for his daughter Alaina, and Uncle Mike got one, that he wasn't sure what he was going to with.
Isn't it amazing how God works, he ask me if we wanted it, I was in shock.... I burst out crying just boo-hoo'ing.... and he said, are you crying?????, because if you are, I'm taking the Damn thing back....lol....In true Uncle Mike fashion !!! So I after crying and laughing, I told him how bad I had wanted one, and there was no way I was getting one...
We have had so much fun with it, We play it everyday !!! Thanks Again Uncle Mike !!! hopefully I'll lose a few lbs along the way !!! Peace Out !!!!! ;)

Whats Up ????

Hey Everyone !!! I know, Its been long time No post. There hasn't been to much going on, Bishop and Bella have had Birthdays !!!! Bishop is 3 years old and my Bella is 1 yr old. She is beautiful, and he is getting cuter everyday, and I think looking more like his momma !

Austin is still running the dock over at Macy's and trying so hard to get on at CSX. Callie and him are closer than ever. Bless her heart I wish he wouldn't aggravate her as much as he does.

Shelby got his first deer yesterday, he is really good with the bow. He took the deer to have it processed, I'm not sure who is going to eat it, he says he is. I know our neighbors like it, so I hope he gives alot to them ! Because I know I'm not going to eat it or cook it.

David is still working as much as he can, I think things are slow everywhere, the economy sucks right now.

Sister and I went to Craft-N-Camp a week or so ago,It was ok, she had to pack up and leave half way through, because Bishop got sick and they had to carry him to the ER late Saturday night. He had a virus, but had alot of fever with it, but he is better now :)
We have a crop to attend Friday at Scrapuccino, I have some things I need to finish up. In fact I have A LOT to finish up !!

Its suppose to be cool tomorrow, like a fall day, I can't wait :) I am so ready for Fall and Football !!! Our Titans are 4 - 0 Yea !!! while our Vols need a Pep Talk !

Well its getting close to mid-night, so I will go ~~ Peace * Love * and Rock and Roll

Craft N Camp Elite Here we Come !!

Hello to all my fans, readers, and bloggers, lol

Yes it seems I only blog about once a month, Oh well, better than nothing right ???

Today is my Dad's birthday, Happy Birthday, Dad ! Not only is it his Birthday it is his last day of work !!! Yippeee he will be retiring !!! Way to go Dad !

Shelby is home today, not mowing any yards or detailing any cars, he is making a run to Mickey D's for some Sweet Tea... Yummmm Yummmm !!!

Austin is at work , he is working 60 hr weeks lately. He likes money. I'm proud of him for working so much.

Dave is doing the same, working all the time, to support his family, so we can live in this nice big house, and have a great lifestyle, I do have a wonderful life, and I thank him, for allowing me to stay at home an do my work,and scrap !!! I'm sure I could make more money if I went out and got a job, but he is fine with what I do here at home, and I love him so much for it !!!

I have been a little ill since the last time I posted, after 2 trips to the ER and 2 trips to the Dr they put me in the hospital for 5 days, :( and after x-rays, c-scans ultrasounds, many blood test, the came to the conclusion, that I have asthma, bronchitis ( Which is much better now) and Erosion Gastritis, which is healing. So for over 2 weeks I felt really bad. But doing much better now !!! Just a lil asthma problems when I go outside, but I think anyone who lives in Tennessee has a hard time breathing when they go outside as well.

This weekend, Sister and I will be going to Craft N Camp Elite, and how is this different than any other Craft N Camp, you ask ??? Well the 3 Chicks that run the Craft-n-Camp got to pick a 5 people that they would like to scrap with for the weekend, and guess what ??? Sister and I was picked !!! How is that for being special. We will have our regular craft-n-camp in September too. With about 80 ladies there. Something to look forward too !!! Woo Hoo

Everyone Have a Great Day !!!!

Peace Out ~~~~~

Good Afternoon !!!!

Hello to all !!!
I know I know, I should have been blogging months ago, but you know how it is after you come back from vacation, OK that's been almost a month ago, so I know I should have been bloggin long ago. Lets see how things have been goin here.

Austin is still working at Macy's (the warehouse) he got to go to Orlando with his girlfriend Callie about a week after we got back from Florida. They had a good time, even with a few showers.

Shelby is working now as a handy man so to say, he cuts grass, weed-eating, landscaping, and really has quite a bit of business for a 16 almost 17 year old. Wow did I just say that......My baby will be 17 in less than a month :o .. Its a good thing my sister has the most adorable babies, or I might have that "My babies are grown what do I do now? syndrome .

Dave my sweet husband, who sat right beside me in the ER last night while they gave me 2 breathing treatments, and tried to sneak me some food, but I'm not a big fan of Frito's, Bless his heart he did try. He is working as much as he can at USF Holland. I love him so much.

So me hmmm, I have been working on some projects, some mini albums, seems like these days im more into the mini albums, for some reason I just love them, I think I have 2 or 3 done with out the pictures in them, As I type I have one here in bed with me that I want to work on. I just found a new site thanks to my sister. The Mosy Scrapper and guess what ??? I won a scrappy prize.. Woo Hoo. It has totally made my day better.

Well I believe thats about all for now. Peace Out Peeps !!!

Just 1 1/2 Days !!!

Til we leave for PCB (panama city beach). We will have our own convoy going down, Austin and his friend Jordan will be in Austins new White Chevy Pick UP, Dave and I will be in our White Chevy Pick UP, Tina and Shelby, Bella and Bishop will be in her Blue Chevy Blazer. So please say prayers that we arrive safely and get home safely. It will be so nice to have some time to relax in the sun and sand and not worry about anything or anyone, just chill, just the sounds of the Ocean, sounds good right ?? Ill let you know how it goes !!! Peace out Peeps !!!

Time ~~ Where did it go ?

Hi !
How is everyone ??? Things are going good here :) If anyone has been reading my sisters blog.... about the things that she never wants to forget, I think that is so awesome. I wish that I had started doing that when my kids were little, but I can start now right, its never too late right ?.

This past weekend was mothers day of course, (Happy Mothers Day mom and Lucy and Helen ) It was a good weekend. David took me to Outback, it was SOOOOOO GOOD !! Shelby got me a rose and and card, the card was sooo funny, I love him so much ! He is such a good kid, and becoming a young man right before my eyes. And Austin, he is a good kid too, and is becoming his own man, Wow where has the time gone. I promise it was just a few weeks ago, he was getting his Bigfoot (powerwheels) stuck in the yard, and needing me to help him. Man, I wish I could go back a for just a day or two, and soak up all that love, hugs and kisses, and that need for me, not that they don't now, It just isnt as much as it was then. Seems like I was so busy and I had OCD so bad, about the house being clean, clothes washed, etc. Not now, the medicine they give you for that works.

Austin and Callie had their 4 month anniversary yay for them !!! I really do like her. I really wish that she was going to Florida with us, but I completely understand the reasons that her parents wont let her go. I guess thats the same reason, that I took Austin to Florida, Spring Break and for his Senior Trip last year. We will miss you so much Callie !!!

Shelby is still working at Al's Foodvalu, and doing some landscaping and cutting grass on the side. He has a girl friend her name is Cassidy, I think that he really likes her, I just don't want to see him get his heartbroke.

I am going to have to end this post a little early my laptop is acting funny, time to call Dell, and try to explain my problem in English to a non speaking English person, after I am on hold for what seems like 3-4 hours. Wish me luck !!!!

Hello Everyone
Seems like alot has happened since I have blogged. Grandmomma passed away on April 10th a day after mine and Davids 2oth anniversary, I have been very sad, I know that she is better now, and she is with Granddaddy Bruce, and her mom and daddy, but I miss her so much already. We spent this weekend going through pictures and furniture and all her stuff, it seems so sad to pick all her stuff apart and divide it up, but I guess thats what you do.

Tina and I went to Scrap Etc Event April 17th-19th at Opryland Hotel, and even stayed there, we were busy we had like 8 or so classes and then of course they had a store set up. It was really good, we will be going next year again.
We will be heading to PCB May 31st- June 6th for our family vacation. I can not wait !!!!

Til Next time....Peace Out

~Its been a very long Time ~

Hey All,
I know its been 5 months since I have blogged, my life has been busy to say the least. My babies Bishop and Bella are so big and sooo Cute !! I went to see them yesterday Bishop is talking so much more and putting sentences together. Bella is just Beautiful and a lil Princess Diva herself. I love them so much !!!

Austin is still attending Vol-State, and working at Macy's Warehouse, He is dating Callie , She is very pretty and goes to school at White House High School and is a life guard at the YMCA in Hendersonville. They plan to attend the Prom April 12th.

Shelby has gone through a growth spurt, he is about 5'10 now. He works at Al's Food Valu and is doing great in school. He is waiting for turkey season, so he can go hunting.

I have been staying at Grandmothers every other week, she is very weak and unable to do most things on her on, Uncle Mike and Sandra stay with her 1 week and then me and Mom stay with her a week. Its very hard to see her like this, I love her very much, and will continue to do what I can to help her. Hospice comes in twice a week and then a nurse comes in also.

Im sorry its been so long since I have blogged, but I have had taxes to do, my family to take care of and Grandmomma to take care of as well. I hope everyone is doing well.
