My baby girl is twenty-two years old today! She has brought more joy and happiness into my life than I could have ever imagined. She is beautiful, caring, sweet, and successful.
I can't wait to celebrate with you this weekend!

Awards Banquet

Ray & I attended my school district's annual awards banquet tonight. I received the Bobby G. Lester Excellence in Education award. I was truly honored to receive this award. My district has 37 schools, 18,000+ students, and over 2,000 certified teachers. I received a beautiful plaque, cash stipend, and my picture on the wall of fame in central office. It is an awesome feeling to be recognized by your colleagues.

amazing product

I don't usually advertise products or clothing (except Coach handbags)

but this Jergen's natural glow lotion is awesome! I have been a sun bum

my whole life. My dermatologist recently told me I can't use tanning beds,

or fry for hours in the sun any longer. I have used this lotion for a week and

I am as tan as if I'd gone to the tanning bed. If I had found this years

ago, I could have saved my skin alot of sun damage. Buy a tube of this lotion if you want the look of tan skin without the damage from sun or tanning beds.
