Hello everyone...........

Goodness, I can't even remember the last time I blogged. My sister-in-law Heather reminded me that I need to - it's been a while.
Well, Ronnie has his last chemo treatment the day before Thanksgiving. :) We had a surprise party for him the following Saturday (The Iron Bowl). It went great. He has no clue we had been planning this. I am so thankful for everyone that helped me pull it off and for everyone that came to celebrate. We had a great time. I hope everyone else did as well!!
Ronnie will have his PET scan on December 19th. He will then find out the results on December 24th...........Christmas Eve. What a wonderful gift it would be for them to tell us that he is cancer free!! Sure is hard to wait that long though!! Everyone keep your fingers crossed!!
This Sunday Zachary, Troy, Lacy, Dalton, Logan, and Carter will all be singing in the Christmas musical at our church (Chapel Hill Baptist). They will be singing with the adult choir and they will sing at both services - 9:00 and 10:15. If anyone wants to come we will be at the 10:15 service to watch(I work in the nursery at the 9:00 service). It should be really good.

Mercedes as announced yet more cut backs. They will now be shut down from December 15 - January 20th ( I think). Thy will get paid for 1 wk in December and 1 week in January. Also, they were supossed to be returning to working 5 days a week in January instead of the 32 hours a week they have been on for a month. Now they will only be working 30 hours a week - 4 days a week , 7-1/2 hours a day..........and when they are on nights the will go in everyday at 4:15 instead of 6:15. Also, as stated before, the will still be shut down for 4 weeks in June. They will get paid for Memorial day and then they will have to use 9 of their vacation days and then will not get paid for the other 2 weeks.. Geez!! Somethings gotta give here. It is very nerve racking to say the least. Hopefully there won't be anymore "meetings" at Mercedes for a while. Sure hope the economy picks up really soon.

Well, that's about all I have for right now. Hope everyone has a great weekend. ROLL TIDE!!!!
Oh. and I am using my last 1/2 day of vacation today and Jennifer and I are going to see Twilight!! I can't wait. Just finished the 2nd book of the 4 book series. Need to go get the 3rd book - ASAP!!
