Mom Retired

My mom doesn't seem old enough to retire.  She still looks the same to me.  After 30 + years at IUN mom decided it was time for her to retire.  It was hard to see her go since we both work at the same place.  The university held a small reception in her honor.  It was so nice to hear the many kind words they said about my mom and it was all true!  Everyone said how much they were going to miss her!  Congratulations on your retirement mom.  You deserve it for a job well done!

Matthew Graduated! Class of 2012

I am proud to announce that my nephew and godson, Matthew graduated from high school this year.  As some of you may already know Matthew was born three months premature and came into this world only weighing 3lbs 4oz.  The doctors didn't know if he even would survive.  Well he did and now he is a nice young man who we are very proud of.  He will be attending IUN in the fall.  We can always use another IU grad in the family.  Here he is posing with his grandparents.

INTRODUCING BELLA!

We would like to introduce our newest family member, Bella.  We rescued her from the Hobart Humane Society in May.  She was dropped off at a stray and just had puppies.  Our family was lucky to adopt her and make her apart of our family.  She is the sweetest thing.  Norbit even likes her too.  Here is a pic!

Anne Mari's Braces Journey

The braces are off and the crooked teeth are gone.  What is left is a mouth full of straight teeth!  It was a long, painful process for Anne Mari and my pocketbook,but we both would say," It was worth it"!  What a difference from beginning to end.  She has gone from a kid who didn't want to smile to a young lady who hasn't stopped smiling from the time she got them off!  Here are the before and after pics.  See for yourself.
