Craziness

Just an update into the Hall's crazy life. I deleted the pictures off my camera so don't have any pics to update anyone on. Maybe once I get them back from being developed I can scan some of them.

A couple weeks ago a great friend (Kevin Sanborn) of ours gave us tickets to the Tiger's game and that was the closest I have ever sat to the field and it was a blast. Section 138 Row 6. We could actually see the players faces. Thank You, Kevin!!!!

We then traveled up to Vassar for Pastor Cheri's ordination for a day trip and got to see some wonderful friends of ours that we miss dearly, Pastor Ed and Doreen!!! We will go and visit them one day. I wish we could've spent more time with them but with so many people that they needed to see that just wasn't possible. We traveled back home and then at the end of the week we went up for two nights of camping...well not really camping because we slept in our mini van with an air mattress that lost it's air but it was okay besides it was cold!!!!!

On the way home from Vassar on Saturday, July 5th we met our small group...well some of them in Frankenmuth at Dixie Motor Speedway for "Eve of Destruction." It is always so much fun to watch. They have different races where two cars are hooked up together and the one in the front has an engine and the one in the back has the brakes. Then there are school bus, figure eight races and they will actually crash into one another. We went together last year and decided to go back again this year and it was just as much fun.

This week is getting closer to Robert's graduation party which is on July 19th so we have been doing last minute things around home such as weeding gardens, painting, building a barbecue pit, cleaning garage and etc....Today I did the food shopping and I am cooking for the 250-300 people we are expecting so you can imagine that grocery bill...lol.

Ruth and David Engle came over last night to put together a power point presentation of Robert's life and I can't wait to see it when David finishes it. It will be a keepsake I am sure. Brought tears to my eyes while searching for pics through the years....seems like yesterday that he was born.

Then on top of it all this week I had a toothache so figured I better go into the dentist. So I went in yesterday and I had a cavity in between two teeth. The one tooth they could fill but of course the other one needed a root canal. So they started the root canal last night but couldn't finish because it was more extensive then Dr. Murrel expected so I went back in tonight and after two hours and four shots the root canal was done but no permanent filling in the tooth because he isn't sure the tooth can be saved. I will go back in two weeks to see what the options are after the tooth and the surrounding area heals. I just had a root canal in another tooth a few months ago so my teeth are falling apart fast and the money to get these done is unbelieavable.

When I came home yesterday from the dentist I had this great conversation with Rob about our 25 year anniversary in a few years. His sister and her husband are renewing their vows this year for theirs and I told Rob instead of that I would rather go to Hawaii...lol. His comment was "Your anniversary is your teeth"and how much we have spent on them. Only Rob would say something like that. I was in tears of course and he was joking but it didn't help matters at all.

So that is the crazy life of the Hall's the last couple weeks.

Keep smiling.

It was great to see you guys at camp and you should have stayed with us up in the dorm! You could have had a normal matress! Next time. About your teeth and your anniversary....don't feel bad, Ed would have said the same thing (LOL)! 10 years ago I told him we should go to Hawaii for ours and he said he bought me a house instead! Men!! ttyl!

Totally a "man" thing to say!! ;-) Don't be mad - they cannot help it!

Russ used to say he had something to tell me and I would answer, What, are we going to Hawaii?? One day the conversation happened again and the answer was Yes! Bad part was it was a business trip and we didn't have the $$ to stay any longer than what the company paid for - so we left here on Saturday morning and returned on Tuesday evening - not much Hawaii time for sure! But it is beautiful and no matter what you order to eat or drink it will have a stick of pineapple in it! Would love to go again too!

I asked Russ if he wanted to go on a cruise for our 40th next year - and he said no. I told him then it was his job to plan something - and that it had better be good. haha
