We're going through the "Big D"...and DO mean Dallas.

Hello all, we are heading to Dallas Friday morning. I hope to head out sometime between 9 and 10 in the morning. Scott is the only one who is going to go to school in the morning. The others didn't want to go but he is aiming for a perfect attendance award (for the third year in a row). Pretty cool! They take attendance at the elementary level at 9 am so as long as he is there until after that, it won't be counted against him. Can't imagine how many more years that he will actually beg me to go TO school, so I guess I'd better enjoy it. We will be staying in De Soto, a small suburb of Dallas and have plans to celebrate Scott's birthday tomorrow night at a very special and cool place...shh it's a surprise. If I could think of a good hint I'd give you one... Let's just say there will be "mortal combat" involved...but it will be a lot of fun for the kiddies (I hope). Holley competes on Saturday around noon and we will spend Sat. night just "loafing" around and head back Sunday in time for Scott's "official" birthday family dinner. Yeah!!! Please pray for us to have a safe trip, that the car will not have any problems (I don't expect it to, it's been serviced regularly), no flats, etc. Please also pray the weather will be nice and Holley will have peace and confidence during her meet. Thanks friends...S

P.S.

(will try to post later Friday night about our "surprise" so stay tuned....I've got Wi-Fi at the hotel!!!- yeah buddy!!!
