Voice Recital
Amy had her voice recital last night. She did such an amazing job singing her solo. She has been taking private voice lessons for 2 years now. I am so proud of her. Both of my kids love music like their momma and I couldn't be more pleased.

He is always there and I needed this reminder. I hope this blesses you like it blessed me........"Never will I leave you, Never will I forsake you"..Hebrews 13:5

Trailer for Bella the movie
I rented this movie last night. It was very, very moving. It had a lot of subtitles. Surprisingly a lot of my 4 years of Spanish came back to me. It was very beautifully done.
CARRIER | Opening of Episode Five | PBS
This was a 10 hour series on PBS filmed on the USS Nimitz. It was fascintating and very educational. I guess my interest in watching it was that my brother was in the Marines and on an aircraft carrier also. It gave me a new appreciation for what he experienced in the Marines and a new appreciation for everyone serving in our Military to defend our freedom.

WARNING - This Song TOTALLY Rocks.......
You have been warned. I bought this CD for Johnny for his 14th birthday yesterday. When this song came on today on my way home, I cranked it up and totally forgot that I am 45 years old. It is Christian Rock/Rap and I like it.

Galveston
Yesterday, took the kids to Galveston, primarily to see the Titanic Exhibit at Moody Gardens. We saw the presidents statue thingy on the way.....hard to take a picture in a moving car. We ate lunch at Fudruckers and then went to Moody Gardens. On the strand, we saw a ducky boat/car thing. That's pretty funny if you ask me a boat that you can drive. We also got to see a Cruise Ship docked. I had never seen one up close............It's really bigger than you can imagine. I wonder how it compared in size to the Titanic.
At Moody Gardens for the Titanic Exhibit, they would not allow cameras, sad face..... Your ticket into the exhibit is a replica of the boarding pass on to the Titanic. Each ticket has the name of a real passenger on the back a little of the history of that person. My person was Mrs. Olive Potter. She was in first class, was 23 years old and was traveling with her mother, a friend, and her dog. She was an avid traveler, making several trips to Spain and Bermuda throughout her life. Then at the end of the exhibit, there is a huge wall with the names of all of the passengers and you can tell if your person perished or survived the voyage. I am happy to say that my friend, Mrs. Potter survived. I did some research and found her picture:
That is why we watched the movie the night before. The kids love the movie and I didn't tell them that we would see the exhibit until the movie was over. They were totally fascinated by it! It has real pictures of the ship, a replica of a states room, the menus, dishes, perfume, a purse, a wallet, etc that was recovered from the wreckage. If you like that sort of thing, you would love seeing the exhibit. To read more about the history of the Titanic, click here.Then we went through the aquarium at Moody Gardens. I love seeing the penguins. We must have watched them for at least 30 minutes. We then walked the beach until sunset. A wedding was going on right there on the beach. The kids built a sand dome and we didn't get home until about 10:30 last night. It was a really fun day.

Happy Birthday, Daddy.....
Today is my Father's birthday. He would have been 76. The picture of the quilt is one that he personally picked out to give to me for Christmas. He passed away very suddenly a few days later right before Christmas of 2004.
I miss his sense of humor. I miss singing with him. I miss talking about computers and the bible and just talking to him about anything.
My heart hurts today.
