Well my Aunt Cile told me a few months ago, "tell your self June 1st, then you wont be disappointed." She said that when the projected move in date was April.

Stephen had gotten off work from a 24 hour shift, he normally sleeps about 5 hours on a good night, and had gone straight up to the house. I had gotten up, fed babies, dressed babies, forgot to dress self, got kids in car, drove them to school, then went straight to starbucks for my daily love affair. I dropped off the dry cleaning, vaccumed the car out, and was headed back into the house to straighten up and do mounds of laundry, when I saw my good lookin husband standing outside of his new home just looking up with a smile on his face. I drove the good ole mini van up the hill and had the best conversation I have ever had.</div><div> </div><div>S: Hey babe</div><div> </div><div>B: Hey honey, you doin ok? Sleep last night?</div><div> </div><div>S: Nope, you ?</div><div> </div><div>B: Nope.</div><div> </div><div>Stephen is leaning his arm in the window, and I have my head resting on his arm. We are now looking up at this massive house we have built up. ( We didn't mean to make it this big..seriously we didn't)</div><div> </div><div>B: That right there is a house.</div><div> </div><div>S: Yep that is a house alright babe. That is our house.</div><div> </div><div>B: Mmhmm...our house. </div><div> </div><div>Stephen looks at me and smiles. Then he leans into my used mini van that I swore I would never drive. And he kisses me. Kisses me like I have never been kissed. I felt like a fifteen year old again. I kinda wanted to vomit from the butterflies in my stomach. And for about 20 seconds, in my mind, I was showered, my teeth were brushed, I had on my wedding gown , and I was the most beautiful woman alive.

The movies with the red chiefs car driving up in the morning while the wife is preparing for a new day is a vision that I think of often. When Stephen asked me what I thought of him transferring to a bigger and better department, (City of Atlanta), I told him as long as I never got that phone call and he always came home, I would support what ever decision he made. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Well, yesterday I got that phone call. Actually I was on the front porch with Mom and Pa watching the kids play, and didn't have my phone. But my father -in- law got the call next and came home to find me.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Stephen was in a house "pulling ceiling", (That is when the fire is in the attic and you have to pull the ceiling down to get to the fire) , when a small piece of metal get lodged between his coat and his hood. It was on fire when it got stuck, and burned through the "fireproof" hood onto the back of his neck. When he realized he was on fire, he yelled to the FF next to him with the nozzle....well you cant yell because you have on a mask...he motioned to them...to put him out.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>To make a long story short. Stephen was taken by ambulance as a trauma patient to Grady hospital. When I was able to speak to him...the first thing he says is....Hey baby...I am fine. Can you bring the camera? That is my husband!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>He has a full thickness burn to the center of his neck surrounded by partial and superficial burns. It is on the center of his neck, and hurts like crazy.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>After 18 mg of Morphine, a debridement, visits to the ER from the President of the Atlanta City Council and The Head Honcho chiefs coming in on their days off...we were discharged from the hospital. The ride home was filled with a yellow and green faced man vomiting in his mouth and keeping it there as to not mess up the new minivan.

The first rule would have to be, <em>be careful </em><em>what you tear down; you have to build it back.</em> It is easy to underestimate the demolition process. While planning this project I of course planned for time and expense of demolition. Expense should be minimal and be mostly disposal fees with some crashing and smashing tools. Time on the other hand is something I greatly miscalculated. I assumed that if <a href="http://abc.go.com/primetime/xtremehome/index?pn=index"><em>Extreme Home Makeover</em></a> could demo a house in a day, surely I could do it in two months. Well the difference is two fold. First the residents are moved out before the project starts, something that has been a struggle for me. It's hard to evict Margy Borders from a house that she has owned for 50 years. The thing is EHM uses a <a href="http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://bearspawexcavation.com/images/track_hoe.jpg&imgrefurl=http://bearspawexcavation.com/equipment.html&h=200&w=212&sz=7&hl=en&start=2&usg=__l_-s_M3gkYVMaWDevQBT3n8CO9g=&tbnid=q2Eqs7Uetv2DMM:&tbnh=100&tbnw=106&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dtrack%2Bhoe%26gbv%3D2%26hl%3Den">track hoe </a>and levels the house and starts from the slab. Our demolition has been more art than testosterone. As art projects go we are way behind. We have had to take everything apart piece by piece and label what is going back and dispose of the trash. It has taken a while, but we are finally at the next stage rebuilding. I will try to keep up to date with everything going on, but the pace has quickened and the work is plentiful. It is getting exciting!<br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_0Lo4qo0Lku1qmb7FgBM5Dq6ZMv6DcayEZ5Vx8hfyFzDVHqUuiz826GwpnNnRBid6U5Fm-bvkk4by9Gduys6qKwnWAXcVMkBt6-02cqyRy45HIY0o57VUE3_lukZVGrwiu9gW/s1600-h/2008+628.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5245329234521947170" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 612px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 373px" height="150" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_0Lo4qo0Lku1qmb7FgBM5Dq6ZMv6DcayEZ5Vx8hfyFzDVHqUuiz826GwpnNnRBid6U5Fm-bvkk4by9Gduys6qKwnWAXcVMkBt6-02cqyRy45HIY0o57VUE3_lukZVGrwiu9gW/s400/2008+628.jpg" width="304" border="0" /></a></p>Stephen and Beth Bordershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04677445614221596255noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19694293.post-75523453936908261482008-09-12T21:25:00.002-04:002008-09-12T21:47:59.507-04:00Overdue update<div align="center">It's time to get back to the bloggin to keep folks abreast to the goings on of the exciting and chaotic lives of the domestic Borders(not to be confused with the cultured international and much more intresting ones, you know who you are). Beth has once again bitten off more than she can chew involving herself in numerous church activities, joined a new gym, took on some crusade at work to better the world through some wellstar committee, and just raising two wild indians. She has also found that if she works till 3AM she can go in later, but has not realized how useless it makes her the next day. I stay up at the house as much as I can, but more on that in the next post. Mads and Jack are both in school at the CEE not to be confused with the former WEE center which I'm sure was not near as distinguished or proper. Mads is in heaven with some of her old classmates and some new that she is currently recruiting to the dark side. Jack is not as enthralled at school and puts on a show every morning for his mother's sake until she is out of earshod. Everyone else is still alive and maintaining some level of ambulation and is to the point that they couldn't care less for schools, gyms, or committes. The parents are however working more now than before they retired. I've included a few pictures of the kids cause it's always good to leave on a high note.</div><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDjSPcF3c0E36V1EmggyHxQv_Ko99e4RSNCQwr3JxBAC9e61vJ-9vbVCkvgHFq2imTn373nigKO9sVfaOCieGGlLAAOA5S3r5wpZnRq4i0oMAYCMRC43YCZenEICcgjh1EnfAo/s1600-h/2008+594.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5245311476171364962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDjSPcF3c0E36V1EmggyHxQv_Ko99e4RSNCQwr3JxBAC9e61vJ-9vbVCkvgHFq2imTn373nigKO9sVfaOCieGGlLAAOA5S3r5wpZnRq4i0oMAYCMRC43YCZenEICcgjh1EnfAo/s400/2008+594.jpg" border="0" /></a> Jack in his outfit on his first day of school.

Stephen is at work, and it's midnight, so I figured I would post it.<br /><br />I am going to type out the conversation I just had on my way to the parking lot from work...I am still laughing!!<br /><br />Some background, I am walking with Josephine who is a tech in the ER with me. She is from Africa and many people find her abrasive. I love her...she says things like, "wow, you are really pretty now, you were not so pretty pregnant. You do not even look like the same person!" Also, the way I met her was when I was 6 months pregnant, and she came rubbin all over my belly without even knowing my name. Keep in mind I have to ask her to repeat everything she says because of her accent.<br /><br />Bob, the security gaurd is walking us out. Bob has the thickest southern accent I have ever heard. He is a fairly short fella with a belly that hangs over his uniform pants. He has worked in security forever, and It cracks me up whenever he gets mad at our psych patients. I also have to ask Bob to repeat most of what he says.<br /><br />Beth: Man I am starving<br /><br />J: You eat when you get home this late?<br /><br />Beth:Heck yeah!<br /><br />J: Whatchu eat? That is why you still got tat behind on you!<br /><br />Beth: What did you say?<br /><br />J:You heard me...What do you eat?<br /><br />Beth: Peanut M&Ms<br /><br />J:What dat?<br /><br />Beth: Its candy.<br /><br />J:Mmhmm.<br /><br />Bob: (remember thick southern accent) You know, the kind that melts in you mouth, not in your hand.<br /><br />J: What?<br /><br />Beth: Smiling.....<br /><br />Bob: Kinda like Lays potato chips...Ya cant eat just one.<br /><br />J: What?<br /><br />Beth: still smiling.<br /><br />We continue to walk to our cars...Bob is smiling to himself....probrably thinking about how funny he is...Josephine is lecturing me about parking in the volunteer parking...and I am laughing. I love living in Marietta!!!<br /><br />Sunday, I plan to post an update with pictures. I have pics from Todd Carlton's wedding, and i will take pics this Saturday at Jenni Boone's wedding. Plus pics of the house. It looks so weird!!<br />Have a fun weekend!Stephen and Beth Bordershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04677445614221596255noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19694293.post-2299162316712233212008-04-21T22:42:00.005-04:002008-04-21T23:16:11.909-04:00For Kate...I was tagged by Kate Borders<br /><br />What I was doing 10 years ago:<br />I was 19 years old...had just come back home from Ga Southern (got homesick)....I was working at a place called Health Place in the day care...trying to get my foot in the door at Kennestone Hospital...where I work now!

I miss having my family over to my home for dinners and such and miss entertaining in my own home. My mother is also travel nursing in Illinois currently, so yet another reason I have not seen her. Last week, I was really "home sick". I was sitting in church and my ADD was in full swing. I was watching the family in front of us, and it reminded me of my mother and siblings back in the day. The mother gave the two kids gum from her purse. I closed my eyes and could literally smell the bubblegum flavored care free gum my mother would give us out of her purse while sitting in a pew. I closed my eyes and could see her hands. Strong, tired, comforting, arthritic hands, with a small gold pinkie ring. My dad's....Strong, well manicured...dry in the winter. Funny how you can close your eyes, remember a smell and visualize someone's hands. Very Comforting!!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYyKNVdgJ4FQ_d1nOkAHUE3IH-qasTXPNm18iyPVmlo8wlGGXDxktYuob7rmsYW8LLPevVgRczQuFP9BkRBPYnscwV7PlkOn6QfscMgd09eSMr7gf67Pt6oZ7U6LO28xfQigzs/s1600-h/003.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5184271443943103458" style="DISPLAY: block;

Everything went well, no one was injured, no one had their feelings hurt to terribly bad, and we ALL ended up in the same house. The house looks so wierd with stuff out of it. The Living room is empty, except for a few pieces of Chris and Kates furniture. Two of the upstairs bedroom are almost empty. Mom (Queenie) and Pa are adjusting as expected. I certainly could not imagine what it would be like to move out of the house you have lived in forever. But spirits are high and everyone is smiling....for now!!!

It's all good here on Allgood. Things are moving along...slowly, but surely. It snowed here, I have some great pictures that I took with the intention of posting on a blog....However, they seem to be lost . In my defense, just when I started to become a true "Borders Blogger", I got a new computer and camera. I am not good at this. Seriously, I am sweating already. Why can you only down load one picture at a time? And, why do the first one's you down load go to the bottom. ANd, just as I assumed, there is a child crying, so I must go comfort....hold please.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibbd93ru8OvjDpbZG8eNkaEO9e5kzDU_Cf2g69VrsWlRpqfltrzzWbsivEfBbLLupTmVI35Dy2_kBsQkHNDBtg25FnHvleRmvB5nJYQqImPebj8UwW32ZBuBH1uW_s11kjXDQi/s1600-h/12-07+020.JPG"> Jack has an ear in fection and is teething...he is quite upset now, and I must go.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5163356927529764338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibbd93ru8OvjDpbZG8eNkaEO9e5kzDU_Cf2g69VrsWlRpqfltrzzWbsivEfBbLLupTmVI35Dy2_kBsQkHNDBtg25FnHvleRmvB5nJYQqImPebj8UwW32ZBuBH1uW_s11kjXDQi/s400/12-07+020.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQUoVOCP1K4BNAogR-nT8yJ6yL9wgtlA2CsmSHvPWdVA5OMpaAf6psSks3RoNTFwrv7uXp3iT8JWzZ5Yrr3a_wZMlGe430hirK3Q03oko2-WX7K_iOYltEqyGqNKuTmMpW8lya/s1600-h/12-07+042.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5163356721371334114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQUoVOCP1K4BNAogR-nT8yJ6yL9wgtlA2CsmSHvPWdVA5OMpaAf6psSks3RoNTFwrv7uXp3iT8JWzZ5Yrr3a_wZMlGe430hirK3Q03oko2-WX7K_iOYltEqyGqNKuTmMpW8lya/s400/12-07+042.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4v-mlgxaglckdf_60-qjOndvsjdgEpRIZm-SOjSlqBqw3AwwL_plSYSX6ALeFiZ2VQmLtzitlwExh4rWphtW3D0usovr0CGsTVDfW-D69Lv50rFMjlHgkMpUYFSPU-rRI68mU/s1600-h/12-07+023.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5163356317644408274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4v-mlgxaglckdf_60-qjOndvsjdgEpRIZm-SOjSlqBqw3AwwL_plSYSX6ALeFiZ2VQmLtzitlwExh4rWphtW3D0usovr0CGsTVDfW-D69Lv50rFMjlHgkMpUYFSPU-rRI68mU/s400/12-07+023.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK2NOl81abHx6jxSnaoYg1Css_8N_SsRDHgSz2aQUEWH22v89HXL1ktgSsXAn-m1CXAMeQFLPY8_0TwC6y8FzaYMH3GTkP425h2ad8LtCaNxxYBw-Jt0QO85sJ92P0jfbecamh/s1600-h/12-07+016.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5163355969752057282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK2NOl81abHx6jxSnaoYg1Css_8N_SsRDHgSz2aQUEWH22v89HXL1ktgSsXAn-m1CXAMeQFLPY8_0TwC6y8FzaYMH3GTkP425h2ad8LtCaNxxYBw-Jt0QO85sJ92P0jfbecamh/s400/12-07+016.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>Stephen and Beth Bordershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04677445614221596255noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19694293.post-76647050075790467232007-12-14T11:30:00.000-05:002007-12-14T12:00:57.881-05:00Santa.....we Believe!!!!!!I have always assumed when God wanted my attention or wanted to lead me in a certain direction, or change my life, that there would be loud, bright firecrackers.....or a loud booming voice from the Heavens chanting, "renovate the house" or "you are fine....move to Marietta!" Unfortunately that is not how he works. I figured this Christmas season I would arouse from sleep in the middle of the night to a peace filled house, because that is where HE led me. I was wrong. Babies cry......babies get sick......even in God's great plans.God is always speaking. I am the one who is hard of hearing. God is patient......always waiting for me to believe in something I cannot see, feel or hear. I am forever impatient......waiting to be convinced. I always need more.....my sweet smiling babies who reach and long for me.....not enough......a great big house to live in......not enough. I will never see the firecracker's I envision from him, and crave.....at least not until my day.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieOmWUJhs-UdLjCRKijG1iRa1ieHjSKeqskizDLii2IYpNDlvCPSFE10s9GV6AwBelciCUtokHAbr0fXJhEUAq1v0vsz5jSapT0bNLB_SMRvy7k8jC_98KQB5nJuQfEw4OhPkH/s1600-h/mads+and+santa.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143868164439138578" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieOmWUJhs-UdLjCRKijG1iRa1ieHjSKeqskizDLii2IYpNDlvCPSFE10s9GV6AwBelciCUtokHAbr0fXJhEUAq1v0vsz5jSapT0bNLB_SMRvy7k8jC_98KQB5nJuQfEw4OhPkH/s400/mads+and+santa.jpg" border="0" /></a> We believe in the Jolliness (if that is a word) of Santa......he comes down the chimney......Mads says..."he best be careful!!!"

And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you. And I'll earn your trust making memories of us. I wanna honor your mother. I wanna learn from your pa. I wanna steal your attention like a bad outlaw. I wanna stand out in a crowd for you. A man among men. I wanna make your world better than it's ever been. And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you. And I'll earn your trust making memories of us. We'll follow the rainbow Wherever the four winds blow. And there'll be a new day Comin' your way. I'm gonna be here for you from now on, This you know somehow. You've been stretched to the limits but it's alright now. And I'm gonna make you this promise, If there's life after this, I'm gonna be there to meet you with a warm, wet kiss. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib6BXrNToMapsY1mmqwig6uZW9J6YJnuYayJcdmBc_AvSfkoYOyI4XihmXOV-ATOZMNfAK9DXTtVFFhXM8iAQGczksuMq0tfI-HtPxJnIhIkMfEPHSenNYWQNeLw2yW3XSjfTi/s1600-h/2007+038.jpg"><br /></div></a><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5102283460939830002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib6BXrNToMapsY1mmqwig6uZW9J6YJnuYayJcdmBc_AvSfkoYOyI4XihmXOV-ATOZMNfAK9DXTtVFFhXM8iAQGczksuMq0tfI-HtPxJnIhIkMfEPHSenNYWQNeLw2yW3XSjfTi/s400/2007+038.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3ZSYA0U6b6PwcEdE7D233VyUMuoO6nIxLnlEt5w31w2eL693YECeIVH9TYASylc0PV_P8Kg0pnciGCDjZTUNKrTDu_aRNHKjr8UNVINV7DvbNyxxy8t5HFQ1USnypoeGV2bjW/s1600-h/806+001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5102283044328002274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3ZSYA0U6b6PwcEdE7D233VyUMuoO6nIxLnlEt5w31w2eL693YECeIVH9TYASylc0PV_P8Kg0pnciGCDjZTUNKrTDu_aRNHKjr8UNVINV7DvbNyxxy8t5HFQ1USnypoeGV2bjW/s400/806+001.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn4RYuUVBBnPRm5GKsUVJpm3pC_7MtaF4foPxfH9MuSuSSeN2AYz7c0EUnYb7uXn0K2u-RwnAGfieY9kXgNfjBqWHHIrf7nIzOMl6SgsMx-es_6GSV3Gh8h497QbGGrWiRclFq/s1600-h/family+146.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5102281841737159378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn4RYuUVBBnPRm5GKsUVJpm3pC_7MtaF4foPxfH9MuSuSSeN2AYz7c0EUnYb7uXn0K2u-RwnAGfieY9kXgNfjBqWHHIrf7nIzOMl6SgsMx-es_6GSV3Gh8h497QbGGrWiRclFq/s400/family+146.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAJus9Nr7hvQMiM7b6vaSMy2LuXAxxiyaF9QiWhhwlLwJYFXmFOdLlnsb1UgfBMEtZNuicoggLgvcBpj8OUuf19Gz6bQAwuUSsCEtkSKcxlYkNS2lTPcVCqFxa6AJ2QzhGrHoc/s1600-h/family+208.jpg"><span style="font-size:0;"></span><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5102280767995335362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAJus9Nr7hvQMiM7b6vaSMy2LuXAxxiyaF9QiWhhwlLwJYFXmFOdLlnsb1UgfBMEtZNuicoggLgvcBpj8OUuf19Gz6bQAwuUSsCEtkSKcxlYkNS2lTPcVCqFxa6AJ2QzhGrHoc/s400/family+208.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghrdZmOngqIZE1oFgvK1aLL8RsW6GA1DY4VEttbqf4FFY6IKqNRmOYsgVUuytwkUyoIXOGEyEG4K9KFSzeRt6fuBJY9Q0fCDC7NbOi-fPk-VeCIHiaZzlMRDHYrG2PrPNF_ITt/s1600-h/DSC_0140+(2).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5102278272619336370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghrdZmOngqIZE1oFgvK1aLL8RsW6GA1DY4VEttbqf4FFY6IKqNRmOYsgVUuytwkUyoIXOGEyEG4K9KFSzeRt6fuBJY9Q0fCDC7NbOi-fPk-VeCIHiaZzlMRDHYrG2PrPNF_ITt/s400/DSC_0140+(2).JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFLs-WNrKuX586kqmMQaU5CKsvDFn_ZWDdlx2HLb5NSW0KQGIejBEfFBXt-7iXp7vvw3G09K-Jqan6nf9dT-DShGKH7raTuAZNYONlpxiXzppZQl0Ib4x1IIBRSJDMflBaIKRw/s1600-h/family+826.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5102277800172933794" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFLs-WNrKuX586kqmMQaU5CKsvDFn_ZWDdlx2HLb5NSW0KQGIejBEfFBXt-7iXp7vvw3G09K-Jqan6nf9dT-DShGKH7raTuAZNYONlpxiXzppZQl0Ib4x1IIBRSJDMflBaIKRw/s400/family+826.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8iKspRMSj1KZCpH2IXfrU1PdnUHmZtTYcAbabLx_pNdxkoUPUwQQTz4AGWnBXtdC1aKd7N_yzC-_tUBV0qWs_1hyKQcKPW6EmESdyaOSYylSuqzB3L1tppuy9O5GaoOfaCLOM/s1600-h/family+760.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5102277576834634386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8iKspRMSj1KZCpH2IXfrU1PdnUHmZtTYcAbabLx_pNdxkoUPUwQQTz4AGWnBXtdC1aKd7N_yzC-_tUBV0qWs_1hyKQcKPW6EmESdyaOSYylSuqzB3L1tppuy9O5GaoOfaCLOM/s400/family+760.jpg" border="0" /></a> I tried so hard to make this post look right, so confusing.
