Update


Thanks for all comments and prayers...

Uncle Gary is the one in the middle with the brown shirt on. This is my Mom and her 5 siblings. Uncle Gary will be the first to go. So very sad. They are going to make the decision today. I feel at peace with things giving we were just there Columbus Day weekend for our wedding shower.

Brad and I left the airport and the first place we went was up to Uncle Gary's house on Lake Quachita. He lives on the old family land that grandfather farmed. After he threatened Brad's life he proceeded to tell him the history of the land, the lake and even bought us lunch.

I am soo VERY grateful for that. I have to tell you too that the whole reason I have a beagle? Uncle Gary. See ever since I can remember he's had at least 10 beagles in his backyard that he uses as hunting pooches. They hunt deer not rabbits.(Did you know beagles are trained to hunt one or the other but not both?)..
Giving that - I've always wanted a beagle and got one four years ago.

Again, thanks blogging friends. Today my cousin arrives and tomorrow 2 more friends arrive for my bachelorette weekend. My Mom of course, is not coming after all. She's where she needs to be. More on the weekend to come...
