Don't Blink

..."Don't blinkJust like that you're six years old and you're taking naps and youWake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wifeDon't blinkYou just might miss your babies growing like mine didTurning into moms and dads next thing you know your better halfOf fifty years is there in bedAnd you're praying God takes you insteadTrust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you thinkSo don't blink...

This weekend was not bad at all....

Friday, Jo and I went to the fair for the first time in our relationship. It was a blast. It was expensive but a still a blast. We got to see Little Big Town in concert for free and to no one's suprise they were very good live. We rode the rides until Jo got sick ;). We stuffed our faces with home-made potato chips covered with ranch dressing and bacon, along with the always amazing funnel cakes, and apple dumplings with vanilla ice cream. The temperature was cool all night which made it very comfortable. It was overall a wonderful night that I will never forget.


Saturday, I slept till about 9:00. That is all I can get to now-a-days. I started my day off by turning on ESPN College Gameday. Then , it was time to begin "Fall Cleaning". I do not think my room has ever been as clean as it is right now. It is amazing how a clean room will make you feel.
After cleaning, Jo came over scrapbooked with my mom. As for me....well it was pretty much college football for the rest of the night and what a night it was!


Sunday, was another sleeper. I got going about 9:00 and layed around and watched cartoons and old tv shows until the NFL preview shows started coming on. It was fab!! Then,Jo and I went to town and I got a green light up pumpkin for my room...ha... I am so festive! It was overall a "restful" sunday except for watching the Falcons defense blowup and loose the game later that day.


...and now it is Monday, the beginning of Fall, and the last week at my current job. It was a great weekend but it went by soo fast. Life is fast. I am reminded of that even today as I hear whispers of people talking of a young death in the office. It reminds me to cherish every moment that I have with loved ones around me and to remember that life can be taken just like that...so don't blink
