Memorial Day

Hey everyone! i hope everyone at least recognized that to day was memorial day, to honor our soldiers that have died while fighting for this beautifully free country that we (well, some of us) live in. I feel very privilaged to be here and wouldn't change living here for the world.

Well, today my family came over, and we played games, ate lunch together, and swam in our pool. We had a lot of fun together, as usual.Tonight, Jeffri, Diana, and Lisa came over, and we all went swimming. I finnaly dove (like dive in the past tense)!!!! I've never been able to do that before!

Well, yesterday was Mellie's suprise retirment party at the 5th sunday potluck at church. We stayed for that after the service. She was so surprised. During the beginning of the service, the o'malleys, cortland, Miss AY (sorry if i miss spelled it), Moomaw, Alison, and I held up a sign that said happy retirement. She waved and smiled and blew us kisses, and she thought that was all we would do.... but it wasn't. After the service at the potluck, my mom, sister, and a few other ladies, put up signs saying Happy Retirement, and signs with pictures of her at work and stuff. There was even one sign, from my sister, that said, "You may be done, but we ain't gonna shoot you like Ol' Rose" which is from Old Yeller, for those of you that don't know. We also had 2 cakes for her, presents, and flowers for her. My uncle Marky and Mr. Mike said speeches, as well. Then, that day after the party, i said w/ emily until Zym. Andrew, Matt, and Danielle came over to Em's too. We played halo and stuff for a while, but danielle had brought some water balloons that we filled up and had a water balloon war. It was so fun!!! but the water balloons were soon used up, so we got the hoses! Emily and I were completely drenched, but andrew, matt, and danielle just had a little bit of water splashed on them (well andrew was almost as drenched as em and i, but not completely). We had a blast! Even before they came over, Matt and Andrew went four-wheelin at the matt and danielle's house, and they got stuck in water (which kinda wrecked the four-wheeler... but yeah). Well, i'm gonna go to sleep, bc after 2 full days, i need some sleep. I'll ttyl! Luv ya'll!!! .:*Suzy*:.
