10 on Tuesday

• I haven't done a 10 on Tuesday in a while, so here goes!
• As previously disclosed, it is my birthday week...yay for birthdays!
• I just sent Kevin a "Honey-Do" list. Hey, he asked me to email him a list of things that need to be done..."ask and ye shall receive!" I don't think that he was expecting me to actually have a list prepared so quickly ;)
• There are LOTS of babies here lately. January: Jay and Bryce, February: Madison, March: Ava, May: Dash, June: Abbigail (Due 6/7)....the list goes on and on! The only months that aren't occupied are October and April...WOW people...good grief!
• We are going to go out to dinner with Kev's family for my Birthday on Friday. It will be fun! Eating with a 4 year old and a 1 1/2 year old is ALWAYS an adventure.
• We are going to dinner with a LOT of our friends on Saturday for my Birthday. I am SOOOO excited...we are going to Stix, one of my favorites! I can't help it, the onion volcano gets me everytime!
• I am dancing in the dance recital of my old studio next weekend. It is the 30th anniversary of the studio and I am dancing in the Alumni dance. I am really excited!
• I started my second semester of classes for grad school last night. I am pumped that at this time next year, it will be my LAST semester! Makes the end so much more attainable now that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. (I am NOT, however, excited about taking Finance this semester...not my idea of a fun class!)
• Nonie had her first chemo treatment last Thursday and it has really knocked her back. I know that she is a strong lady, but it is just really hard to see her like that! I am SO thankful though that we live in a time where these drugs are available. I know that God has a plan!
• Kevin and I are going to the beach in September. I am beyond excited! I am SO ready for some beach lounging time!
• I worked in our flowerbeds this weekend and on our entryway flowers. It looks SOOOO good, I will have to take pics and post them! I just LOVE our house and I am excited for all the good times that Kevin and I have yet to experiance together while we live there!

**Well, that is my 10 on Tuesday! Hope everyone has a great week! **Ciao!

Update with Pics!

OK, so this post is a week late, but whatever. We spent Memorial Day shoveling rocks at Kevin's parent's house (As in over 1 ton of it!). Then we hung out with the rest of Kevin's family and watched Davis and Brock play in the pool. After all this excitement, Kev and I were EXHAUSTED, but it was great spending time with our family. This week is the week of my birthday. Yes, I know that I said that this week is my birthday. I have decided that instead of celebrating for one day, I am going to celebrate for the whole week. My Dad likes to point out that it was this way since the day I was born since I was born the day Mt. Saint Helens erupted and it has been spewing ash and rumbling for a week. Historically, I am a all week kind of girl. I am very excited! Well, enough of my jabbering for now! Have a great week!

Update but no Pics

OK, so Nonie had her port put in on Monday. This is supposed to prevent them from having to stick her everytime they do the chemo or give her meds. She came through that surgery fine and we are all VERY thankful for that! She begins Chemo next Thursday (5/31), so we are all ready to get that started so that she can be done with it all! Other than that, there hasn't been a whole lot going on at the Humphrey house. I got my grades back in my 1st two classes, I got an 'A' in Managerial Accounting and a 'B' in World Economics. Boy, am I THRILLED to have those 2 classes behind me! I am really looking forward to the long weekend this weekend. Kevin and I will both be off on Memorial Day which will be FANTASTIC. I guess his Monday, Tuesday off days are good for something. I am glad that we will get to spend a whole day off together. We are supposed to go to his parents for the day. I think that Kev and I will probably wind up shoveling rocks and doing landscaping but that is fine with me, as long as we can scoop together, I am cool! Hmm, well I guess that is about it. My birthday is coming up, June 8, I can't believe that I am going to be 27, I don't FEEL that old. Oh well, that's life I guess. Talk to you guys soon! Ciao!

Nonie Update

Ok, so yesterday Nonie finally made it through the barrage of surgeons, doctors, respiratory specialists and other medical staff and there is now a course of action for her treatment. They were thinking of doing a laprasopic (sp) thing where they go in and zap the spot on her lung but when they did a PET scan last week, there are now 2 spots instead of just the 1 that was there originally. Sooo, now the plan is to treat her with chemo. She will be on a 3 week cycle, meaning that she will get a treatment every 3 weeks. She goes back next week to set up the cycle and hopefully, treatments will begin soon! Please keep her and our family in your prayers and pray for healing. She has A LOT of living left to do, we want her around for a LONG time more! Thanks guys, have a great weekend! Ciao!!!!!!

Update

Hello all, I am still alive and well! I don't have a whole lot to update everyone on, I have been really busy lately with Grad School exams and trying to get my house clean for a Pampered Chef party that was at my house on Saturday. (If anyone needs anything Pampered Chef....let me know!) I have 1 exam left and then I am DONE for this semester! YEAH!!!!!!! Well, that is about all, I will try to do better about keeping everyone updated! Have a great Monday!

If you, or anyone that you know, is interested in getting one, please contact them. These dogs are GREAT! I had a fantastic time playing with them the last time that I was home. They are SUPER cute and are great with her kiddos.

A picture or two to hold you over.

This is not a very good picture...the flowers have actually gone crazy since this picture was taken, but you get the point...yeah for Spring time flowers!!!!! Next, a few pictures from Easter...Our nephews, Brock and Davis And last, but not least, Kevin and I after church. I promise, Kevin was not in a bad mood, we just had to take this picture like 4 times because the sun was so bright...Have you noticed a trend? All the boys (even Kevin's brother, Chris, even though I didn't post a picture) has on seersucker? So cute...yeah!!! Well, that is all for now! Ciao!

Still Kickin'

Hey all, not a lot going on. I have been horrible about updating! I promise, I will update some this weekend. Kevin and I are doing well, we had a great (but very busy) Easter weekend. Talk to you guys later!

Gatlinburg Pics!

Pictures from our trip.... This is an outside picture of our cabin, Cute as a Bear. The next 3 are from the Ripley's Aquarium. Notice the sign. Kevin and I went to the "Peddler" for dinner...it was (as usual) fantastic! We also went to the "Star Cars" Museum and they had "Ecto1" from the Ghostbusters movie. Of course, Kevin had to have his picture made with it. This should come as no surprise to most of you who know Kevin! Finally, we had a caricature done...too funny!

Well, that is enough for now...Time to get back to studying! Ciao!
