Okay - now that we have a blog, we're going to try to make weekly or bi-weekly postings to serve as a sort of online journal and to keep people up-to-date with our happenings (as if they care).
This past week hasn't been too eventful, though it ended with a four-day weekend since David had Friday off and we have Memorial Day vacation tomorrow.
One neat thing David got to do this week was to attend a little get-together with the YM where a member of our ward recounted WWII stories of when he was in Patton's battalion during the last year and a half of the war. Landing in France on D-Day +2, he lead a small band of "Mechanical Army" troops on several expeditions that included skirmishes with SS Storm Troopers, night raids and reconnaissance trips and one experience where a land mine blew up the armored car he was riding in and killed everyone in the car except him. He didn't have more than a few scratches. He tied all his stories into the power of prayer, the spirit of discernment and divine providence that kept him alive. It was a great precursor to Memorial Day.
The week ended with a small trip to Florence were we ate lunch with Celeste's family, including Grandpa Doug, Aunt Kim and Caden, Uncle Chris, Aunt Meredith, Elizabeth and Bayley. After lunch we went to the May Fly Air Show. It was pretty fun and included stunt flying (see pics), a rocket diesel truck, F-16 maneuvers, and a vintage WWII era battle, with movie style stunt bombings that were pretty awesome.
That was the week in a nut shell. We look forward to a fun upcoming June that will include our annual trip to our time share in Myrtle Beach and then the last week of June David goes to Las Vegas for a week for the national Healthcare Financial Management Assoc. (HFMA) conference (fun for David, not so fun for Celeste).
Hailey likes her "Gargles and Flippers." I wonder why she is so silly... 
Now, I know why (Celeste will kill me)
