August 2009 Bday and other updates

Well Katie made it safe and sound to Brazil. Her words were positive, but I can tell she is struggling with the rigorous schedule, as any new missionary does I'm sure. She is trying to love the food, it's all Brazilian in the MTC, but she got chicken nuggets the other day. This mission thing will be great for her! :)

Cousin Elizabeth Hawkins is 7 weeks pregnant and she had an ultrasound today and there is one healthy heart beat. We are very happy for them. Cousin Bethany Mussman still has not had her baby, but has been ready for 2 weeks now. I had a nice birthday and got to spend the day at home catching up on a lot of things that had gotten put off while I was out of town so much before. I had some amazing birthday wishes on facebook. 3 friends from the ward brought over goodies and made me feel special. Jarrod brought home PF Changs for dinner and a great wall of chocolate for my birthday cake. He put a candle in it and they sang to me. Then Austin and I went to his middle school open house. It was a very good birthday.
Austin will be playing percussion for the middle school band, I'm so happy, since I played percussion! Austin also started piano lessons again, and I'm very excited about him doing music again! He is adjusting to middle school very well and is showing how mature he has become and he has been so responsible. I am proud of the young man he is turning into.

Birthday celebration in Morgantown with the Brooks family
While I was in the Louisville area taking Katie to the airport, my Mom made me a birthday cake!
