Mrs. Hines

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't chatted in a while. I do have a valid excuse. I have been preparing for the BIGGEST day of my life! To view pictures go to my myspace account: Look for me under Amanda Hines-Cullman, Al-28 yrs old.

just a swimmin

Hey guys, its hard to believe it, but summer is almost over. Horrible isn't it? We have been really busy lately. I just moved into a new bigger apartment and between work and trying to get everything nice, time has been crunching us up and spitting us out. Add to that- Charlie and Tracie, Tim's twin sister and her husband moved the same weekend, and last Thursday, Charlie was in a motorcycle wreck. A school bus ran him off the road and his knee is messed up. Hope the doctors have better things to say Monday. Anyways, we just got out of the pool and are fixing to play some WI, so I will chat later. Ciao!

Chagrined

Yes, I know. Before all of you remind me, I know I haven't been on here in months. I've been addicted to my space. :) But I do have news for you! In the time since we have talked-I have recieved a gift from God. Prince Charming has been sighted, found, introduced and appropriated:) Yep, he is mine, ladies and gentlemen, and I have absolutely no intentions of ever letting him go. Meet Timothy Wayne Hines!

Friends

Have you ever thought about how rare true friends are? I mean really. How many of you have a friend you can really pour your heart and soul out to without the fear of rejection or scorn or at least a smirk? I can. I met this friend a little over five years ago, just before I was to lose my other true rare friend-Daniel- to a tragic car crash. Aytha and I both tend to be very much our own person, so when I met her I thought to myself, "oh great, another queen bee". Well, ya know it didn't turn out that way. Within two days, it was as if we had known each other forever. For the last 5 years I have lived two hours from her, just recently I moved 580 miles further away to help my family. Within a few days of arriving, there was a card in the mail from her. For about an hour I sat and cried over what she had said. Basically the main thought was something to do with the first three sentences of this blog. Ya know I may be 11 hours away from her and it may be a little harder to stay in contact now- but NOTHING will ever change this rare and valuable friendship. Why? Because we won't let it. We value each other more than just about any other person in the world. And that's something we just don't want to lose. Love you Sissy!!!

Argh!

Good morning! I think.... I'm trying to figure out how to edit my blogger account and my My Space account and I'm begining to think I'm computer stupid:-) It can't be THAT hard, so why does it seem like it is? Hopefully, if I can figure out how to work this, there will be a picture of my best friend, Aytha on this blog, but we will have to see....

What a day!

Wow! What a day! My brother and his family, Wesley, Kelly, Carson and Cohen came to our house for the weekend. I haven't seen them in a while, and wow, had my nephews ever grown! It was a wonderful day at my aunt's house with grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and a few neighbors. We had a big cookout-I'm stuffed! and swam in the pool. Carson was quite the monkey, jumping into the pool, but Cohen wouldn't have it and cried everytime we tried to put him in. Incidentely- they are respectively aged 5 and 1. We are exhausted by the long day, but were oh so happy to get to spoil the boys as they live several states away.
