Shane's Birthday

It was Shane's 38th birthday. He went to go to school, but didn't have to work. He made a special trip up to Smith & Edwards, one of his favorite stores. He likes to tinker up there and he found a couple of items that he needed. He then went to say hello to his dad. He said that he wished him a happy birthday. When I got off work we headed to the mall to upgrade his cell phone. He got the new LG Vu. It is a touch screen with a full key board. He seems to be pretty happy with that. We then met up with some of the family for dinner at the Olive Garden. It was some good eats. Had the famous Cherry Chip cake. It is an Archibald staple. Owen sang him Happy Birthday. It was cute. I hope that it was a good birthday for him. Just want him to know how much we love and appreciate him. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHANE!!!!

Cherry Chip Cake YUM!

Helicopter

Owen and I went up to WSU yesterday. Shane was teaching a class to the police academy on helicopter safety and how to land them if they needed them on a call. Owen loved every minute of it. He keeps asking when he can go in another one. Here are some pics.

New Year

I can't believe how fast last year flew by. It was filled with many memorable experiences. This year will probably be the same, but with a few more twists and turns. Shane is going back to patrol and working nights. Not really looking forward to that, but what can you do. He is also starting school again on the 5th and is expected to teach D.A.R.E. on top of all of that. It will be busy indeed, full of no sleep and hardly seeing each other. But the time we will be together will be worth it for sure. I know that we will make it through and we will be one step closer to getting Shane through nursing school. We just need to make it to December, then next year will be much easier. I want to wish you all the best this year.


Here's to 2009!!!!!!
