Florida, here we come, again!

My mother went with her friend, Syl, to visit Syl's mom in Kentucky. Seems that Syl's mom won 2 tickets to the Daytona 500 in a church raffle! Guess who is lucky enough to be on the receiving end of the tickets?! That is correct....BRIAN AND I! So, we immediately made airline reservations and hotel reservations. Of course, the closest hotel we could get was 26 miles away from the track, but hey, not bad! And to get the cheapest airfare we are going to be there for a few days. We have decided that in order to pass the time until the race, we are going to make a stop at Universal Studios and after the race a stop at Brian's Uncle's house (the flower girls).

For those of you who are going: Daytona 500? What is that? Well, it is the SUPERBOWL of NASCAR. It is the first race of the season. For them, that is the biggest race of the season. That is THE race, at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, FL. Woohoo, and we will be there!! I can hardly wait!

Other than that, things are the same here. I feel like turning 30 this year is like having to take your car in for its 50,000 mile overhaul. I have been to the doctor's, had blood drawn after not eating for 12 hours, I have an appt with the eye doctor next week and the dentist next month. Good grief! Guess I have to check in with everyone to make sure my engine is still running smoothly, so to say...

Good news from Brian's mom. She just accepted a position with Radford. Yes, she used to work there, but this is a NEW, EXCITING position. This is something she has always wanted to do and also in the field she got her degree in recently. We are very happy for her!!

I will be heading up to Greeley this weekend to go see a show that Suzi and Zak have both worked on. Brian will have to stay home, as it looks like we will have cadets at our house this weekend. They can have some guy time together.

Brian's cousin's wife, Kim, just had her Achilles heel operated on. Sounds like it was painful! So, we send get well wishes her way!

Oh, and GO RED SOX!!!!!!!
