True Love Story

Hello, all! I hope you are well.


Barry's beloved grandmother, Nannie Mize (Pam's mom), passed away Friday. It was following a decline in health, but she passed suddenly after the family was told she had more time. Please pray for his family and for Barry as they go through this sad time. I only knew her for less than two years, but I can tell you this: she was a sweet, smart lady who loved her family. She absolutely adored Barry, whom she took care of when he was growing up. Every time I saw her, she would tell me what a good little boy he had been (nothing has changed there!). She loved to tell stories about him eating a big bowl of snacks she had made after school, or doing typical little boy things- memories of him she clearly treasured. She told me more than once that if he was as good a husband as he was a little boy, I'd be very happy! I made sure I told her on one visit before we married that I would take really good care of him, and she smiled and said, "I know that. He'll take good care of you, too". I'm happy we had that conversation.

Barry and I went to dinner last night at Steak Street in Greensboro. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who comes our way to dine. I had a NY Strip and salad and Barry had a pork chop and garlic mashed potatoes. The decor inside is fantastic, they had a live jazz band, and the food is awesome! Come meet us there for dinner sometime!

This is my final week of school, and I couldn't be happier. I am ready to be put out of my misery...we did find a new principal for next year and she will be at school tomorrow to meet everyone. I hope she can turn the discipline problem around. She came from an alternative school, so she certainly has the necessary background!

Well, you can tell we're in the South! Mater Sandwiches have swept the poll!! My prediction was chicken salad; shows what I know! Now, how many of you would have picked tomato if I had told you it was made with Helman's or Miracle Whip?!?!! A true Southerner would not stand for that ;)

Now, someone has a birthday tomorrow, and he is our....

PERSON OF THE WEEK!!

I have already bragged so much about Barry on this blog, I will keep it short and sweet!
