Count Down....34 DAYS !...

34 days.....Oh, my geepers....is that a word?  If it's not a word, it is now.....thinking about all the little things that need to be done....WOW!......Mom!  Where are you?!!!!  What would we do without our mothers?!!! ......

The  month of JUNE flew by so quickly....Mostly, I was busy teaching summer school and in the afternoons working on wedding/reception plans.....AND, we bought a new vehicle from the best place to buy a car in Oklahoma....Jim Glover Chevrolet....(tho't I'd give you some  free advertisement, Jared!!!...lol)



Last night we had a " boot, scootin' boogie time " as three of our friends hosted our couples shower at the Redbird Lodge.  We had a most wonderful evening celebrating with our dear friends and family.

That was only the top half of the invitation but one can see what a neat idea it was for a western theme...Gave me an excuse to get boots.....

SUMMERtime..the month of May...

My summer began on May 11th, the last day of SCHOOL.  It was a bittersweet day for me....After nine years of teaching at LoneStar School in Sapulpa, I am leaving LS and the classroom setting/curriculum coordinator to become a Reac3h Coach for the OSDE.  I  am excited and looking forward to opening new avenues in my goal to become a principal.

LoneStar Teacher of the Year 2009-2010

I am taking with me a 'menagerie' of memories and many great friendships from teachers and staff, parents and students.....Love and Joy to all !!!...... .......Ms. Conway

BACKYARD fun...NOT!

Last summer, with the help of Ben, my stepdad and mom, we added a  pergola over the small patch of concrete, aka:  PATIO..



...Our project this summer was to add flagstone around the patio to give us more space for our grill and chiminea.....With the help of Wes, this is now a completed project....and I love it!  Looking forward to sharing Ben's delicious grilling dinners with friends.

OWENS' WEDDING #2 and rehearsal...

On May 19th, Ben's brother, Sam, married Daisi Bross.  This was the 2nd brother in 5 months to get married.  Now, I can hardly wait to be included as one of  the "sister wives"...August 4th is approaching fast!!  Sam and Daisi were married in a beautiful wedding at the Holy Family Cathedral  and the reception followed at The Campbell Hotel.

(not exactly dressed for bowling..fun times)



MYRTLE BEACH...

On the 23rd, we met up with Ben's dad  and  his wife, Michelle,  and John, and Sam and Daisi and Adam and Morgan...WOW....9 of us!  We all flew in at different times...the boys played golf on Thursday while the girls got massages.....the rest of the time we enjoyed the beach, the pool,  an awesome amount of food and beverages...!

..and I love you, Ben!!!

'Our cup runneth over' with MAY memories full of love and joy!!!
