NEW HAMPSHIRE MOTORSPEEDWAY



Jeremy is in New Hampshire this weekend for the race. The #99 Team will be starting 7th!! We really need another win so cross your fingers!!
We at home just finished "farm sitting" for some friends of ours and also packing and getting ready for the move on Tuesday! Farm sitting is no easy task by the way! It was fun but I am not quite sure I would want to do it full time! We are all so ready and excited to move and be done! I am ready to just relax and take a break....do we as mothers actually get one of those?

SERENA GOOLSBY!!**~~






This blog entry is for my twin sister Serena. She is a wonderful wife to her husband Mickey and an awesome mother to two beautiful girls... Kaylin and Josey!! Her family lives on a several acres of beautiful land in Villa Rica Georgia. They have a very prosperous garden growing this year and I can't wait to taste some of the yummy veggies!! Along with several chickens, there "son" Max (a dog by the way) and a very LOUD African Grey Bird named Roxy they have a few squirrrels that run the porch! These squirrels wont let you go in or out with out giving them some peanuts! Kaylin is the oldest and is 13 going on 18 and knows it! LOL And little Josey is almost 3 and she is such a busy body for sure!


Recently Serena, who has been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis since she was 21 years old, had a surprise pregnancy that sadly ended last week. She was pregnant with twins and miscarried the first twin three weeks ago and last Wednesday was admitted into the hospital due to the second twin being a Ectopic pregnancy, which is a fertilized egg that has implanted outside the uterus. Emotionally drained and physically healing, Serena is doing very well under the circumstances. She is a very strong women and even though I hate that she is going through this, I have all the faith in the world that she will come out of this an even stronger and more beautiful person than she already is.


I have made a garden flower pot to put in my yard in memory of the two angels that are now in heaven waiting to be united with their mommy in eternity. I found a perfect flower called "Serena Angelonia"!! How perfect to find a flower for my sister that is her name sake "Serena" and her little angel's "Angelonia"!! I have put the Serena Angelonia's in a flower pot here at my house to show tribute to my sister and her two angels. This flower pot will be with my family here in North Carolina every day representing our missed family in Georgia. Keep my sister and her family in your thoughts and prayers.

Fun in the Sun...

Here are the pictures I promised from our day on the Lake yesterday. Through all the preparations for the day I managed to put sun protection on Ashelyn ( she is very fair) Devlyn NEVER burns...EVER...(he is very olive/dark) and then there is me! I forgot myself and I burned to a crisp!!! OUCH! But all in all we had a blast yesterday even in 98 degree weather.

Lake Norman North Carolina




We live not only in "RACE CITY USA" ( there is a water tower to prove it! LOL)




but also on Lake Norman. Lake Norman is 520 miles of shoreline that extends across four counties. Being that today is 98 degrees me and the kiddies are going on the lake for the day! Sunscreen is a must!! I will post some pics later of our day.

Pocono International Speedway!!!




We are racing this weekend in Pennsylvania at the Pocono International Speedway. After practice and qualifing we are starting 5th! Not to bad! Talk to Jeremy this morning and he said the weather there is not bad at all, he is up in the Pocono Mountains and its breezy and mild. Yet his loving and supportive family is here in North Carolina where it is humid and 98 degrees!!!!!!!! Looks like we will be going for a day on the lake this after noon!
