Yes. Moving is such fun. Here is the view from my desk for the next two months. Hmmmm.

Had such a busy weekend that I haven’t had much chance to blog. And my offices at work are getting relocated tomorrow to the basement while our main floor gets renovated, so I’ve been quite busy at work too.

But thought I would suggest you stop in and see Ally’s post today. Good life stuff, especially if you’re into Pinterest.

P.S. I’ll post a pic of the view from my desk in the basement tomorrow just so you can feel good about your life.

A little rain ruins nothing in our family.

Which Is The Kid?, a photo by Cherih87 on Flickr.

Tonight was our Annual Corporate Putt-Putt Challenge. It was a lot of fun. But in this picture, it is hard to figure out which one of these individuals is the kid! Jayme and Jeff had an ice cube fight. I think Jayme wore him out. I’m not sure who won. Thanks for being such a great sport Jeff.

Today is our 18th wedding anniversary so we went out to dinner together. When we arrived home, our youngest daughter had a few surprises for us, including this plate of happy fruit.

Thanks, Jayme.

Our oldest daughter finished up a four-day leadership program at Denison University today through HOBY.

Thought I would share some great quotes from the program:

"Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them." – John Maxwell

"Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it." – Dwight Eisenhower

"What makes leadership is the ability to get people to do what they don’t want to do and like it." – Harry Truman

Congrats Savannah. We are very proud of you!

18, a photo by Cherih87 on Flickr.

Monday my husband and I will celebrate our 18th wedding anniversary on May 21.

At our wedding, we gave each person a parting gift – a plant stem of Lilly Of The Valley. This plant is a perennial, which means it will come up each year. We asked everyone to plant it and to think of our wedding each spring when it blooms.

Tonight we went over to visit my dad who recently had some surgery and I walked by the patch of Lilly Of The Valley that my mom planted from our wedding, 18 years ago. It is still going strong and smells beautiful.

It was a nice reminder. Thanks, mom.

What A Dork, a photo by Cherih87 on Flickr.

No, I’m not talking about Savannah, my daughter. I am talking about me. Just dropped her off at Denison University for a 4 day leadership conference and am teary-eyed.

Get a grip, Cheri.

Not sure if it was because I helped her set up her dorm room or because I had to actually say good-bye. No matter, I am such a dork.

I will be a total wreck when she leaves for college, which is in two years.

Jeez.

Leaders, a photo by Cherih87 on Flickr.

Congrats to our middle daughter, Heather, for her second year in National Junior Honor Society. These are the future leaders of our country, so I am pleased that they are learning about leadership at a young age.

Pictured here are Sam, Heather and Vinnie. What a great group of students!
