Where does time disappear to?


On Saturday Brian (my oldest) turned 18. It is so hard to believe that him and my little brother in law Justin are already 18. When I joined the family both of the boys were just 7 almost 8 and now they are grown. Where does time go? As a child time stands still almost and when you "grow up" time flies by.
We spent Brian's birthday with him all day. Yes, that is a surprise because he is so busy with school, football, and his girlfriend that he does not have time for his parents. The day started out with us checking out a couple of yard sales, running errands, and then coming home. Once we got home Brian's bow was ready for pickup ( it was getting worked on) so we ate some lunch and Brian, Hunter, and I headed out to pick up the bow. Brian dropped us out at Wal-Mart so we could get Hunter's haircut, pick up a few things, and he came back to pick us up. Once we got back home we loaded up again and headed to Warm Springs to eat at a steak and seafood restaurant named Oscar's. The restaurant was not anything to brag about, but the company was great. Brian, Jessie, Justin, Michelle, Grandmama, Paw Paw, Ashley, Lyde, Stephen, Hunter and I all went. Brian had his favorite meal crab legs and at the end of dinner I had bought a cookie cake with 18 candles for the waitress to bring out. The waitress' sang happy birthday to him and I think that he turned a little red, he liked all the pretty girls singing to him. We had a really good time. We are so proud of Brian and all that he has accomplished this far and look forward to many more accomplishments!

Sorry Oscar's turned out to be such a dud. I am proud of Brian also. What a nice kid :) I love that y'all took a family picture and wish that we had more of them.
