Take you Family to Work Day!

Today we all went with James to work. Old Dominion is celebrating it's 75th year!! James has worked for them for the past two years. They bought out his old company. Any who they had some fun stuff and a catered BBQ!! Yummy!!! Here are some cute shots of the kids.

The kids got to climb all over the cab of the anniversary truck. It is really awesome. James get to drive it to Boise on Monday. Connor is in control of the keyboard!

Elizabeth is talkin' trucker talk.

The big kids got to drive the remote control big rig!!

The little boys kept wanting to pet it. It was a blast.

Here is Tyler driving a big rig on the Wii. He was funny to watch. However I may never let this boy get a drivers licence!

Change

I don't do change! Not well anymore. I never used to blink at major life changes. I would have never survived my childhood if I did. I have had many childhood houses, two step-dads, several foster homes, and plenty of boyfriends. I went to no less than 4 grade schools, and 3 high schools.

I would love to say this changed with James but alas it did not. It changed with Brenda. She never gave up. She showed up at my house on a regular occasion to invite me to activities. She made me a regular babysitter for her kiddos. She never let me go. She never gave up on me. She has been the one person who has remained constant in my life since I was 15. So almost but not quite 20 years. She made me realize that I hated change. LOL!! She helped make me who I am today. Without her I think I might have been able to pull it off but not as soon or as well as I did.

Now I can say growing up I did not see myself married to just one man the rest of my life. Dude I didn't even see myself getting married. LOL! I didn't think I was worthy of that. Again Brenda helped me see the light. And when James walked into my life there was no longer a question.

So now I really hate change! I refuse to change my sheets unless James is home. Weird I know! But if I change them and he is gone then he will get hurt or worse. Don't ask me where I got that but I have always been that way with him. I think it because when he is not home I sleep on his pillow and I love to smell him.

I like to change thing up a bit now and than but for the most part I like my rooms set up the same way. We have unofficially assigned places at the dinner table. Every mourning I start my day by doing the dishes. And I end it by sleeping on Jamie's pillow!
