Jordan and I have started a tradition, that on Friday nights we rent a movie and get pizza and wings together. This weekend is the Apple Festival and I asked Jordan if she would like to go to it, or get a movie and pizza, she opted for the movie and pizza. As we were watching her mermaid movie that she picked out I fell asleep on the couch. When I woke up she asked me if I noticed anything...I asked her if she cleaned the house and she said, " no". So I got up and found little yellow post it notes attached everywhere, lamps, the phone, microwave, etc...and they all said, "Dear Mom, I love you so much! Love, Jordan. The next night she had gone to a friends house for a birthday sleepover, so I was home alone. I went to pack my lunch for work the next day, and inside my lunch box was another yellow post it, with the same message. I'm so lucky to have such a sweet kid.

Jordan was so excited when I got home from work Tuesday night. I took Laura and her to the school to see the postings of who there teachers were gonna be and their classmates. Jordan was very excited to get the teacher she got R. Solomon. Matthew Kennedy and Will Gilkenson are both in her class this year. Then next day we got up very early and got dressed and walked to school and met the teacher. Jordan likes her and her classroom. She'll have to make new girlfriends this year because none of her other friends are in her class. The first day of school we walked and met Gen and Susan. Jordan made me promise not to take any pics in the classroom this year.

AMY SCHWITZGOEBELS WEDDING

The last time I flew to Washington I think was about 18 years ago...Thats a long time since I've seen my cousins. It was so nice to see them again. I wish I could have taken Jordan since they have never met her, but she was at her dad's and plane tickets are outrageously expensive anyway. The wedding was really nice. The flower girl wore Jordan's dress from Jamies wedding. My Uncle Ty is hilarious, during the father daughter dance he broke out into mchammer, did the robot, ymca, cotton eyed joe..etc...it was very cute. Then I got to spend the entire day in the airport...pasco to seattle, seattle to houston, houston to asheville...left at 6am got home at 11 pm...talk about a long day..luckily I just stayed the night at Tams house and got to play with her and Zac the next day.

Jordan, Amanda, Rowan and I all drove to Gatlinburg to go to Dollywood today. Since Jordan doesn't like to go on the rollercoasters it worked out well having a 2 year old go with us. They rode all the kiddie rides together and had a great time. That night we all went swimming in the cold pool and not so hot hot tub. Then next day we met Lisa and her family, Mom and Dad, and Jamie and his family at Dollywood. Jackson loved the water park and him and Jordan loved shooting people with water. Jamie bought Jackson a play gun and he tried to shoot people as he drove the cars. It was so cute. Dad and I were the only ones who wanted to go on any of the rollercoasters. It was nice having Amanda and Rowan go with us, it gave me company driving to KY to drop Jordan off to go to her dads house. Then we went on to Amandas parents house for the night.

Tonight was Alicias going away party at the Grove Park Inn. Val, Margarita, Alicia, and I all met upstairs, then went down to Elaines Dueling Piano Bar. We had the best time there. It was so much fun singing. Alicia and I got hungry afterwards so it was alittle hard to find a place that still served food at 1am. Luckily the Bier Garden was willing to make us some nachos. I think we finally got home at 2am. Alicia slept over and slept in Jordans room with the cat. That morning we went downtown for a nice Father's Day breakfast. Then she went home to pack. We all met back up at Outback for supper. I'm so sad they are moving away!!!

YEA!!! Last day of school. We got Jordan and Laura out of school at 11am then drove to Myrtle Beach. We got there about the same time as Jamie and his family. Jordan and Laura played really well with Johnnys girls. Jordan wouldn't go out very far in the ocean because we all saw a shark swimming by us. I think their favorite time there was the very last day we all played frisbee and built sandcastles on the beach at night. Then went in the water with all our clothes on.

The Circus
Tammy, Zach, Jeanine, Amanda, Rowan, Jordan, and I all went to the circus tonight at the Civic Center. The Circus people tried to get Jordan and I to jump rope, but we wouldn't do it. It was pretty funny.
