Good Morning Everyone,
Friday night Jerry and I rode up to Mack Wood field expecting Elba to thrash Opp. The thrashing wasn't in the cards as Elba rallied in the 2nd half and held on to a late lead to secure the 1st win of the season. Elba was sloppy, but not as bad as the officials. Whew those guys need to tighten up.
Saturday morning I was at the office and Uncle Daniel came by and we talked almost all morning. Saturday afternoon we had to go to Dothan to Cammie Kelley's wedding. We left early to go by John and Jenny's and they talked us in to coming back by after the wedding for dinner. We had a great time hanging out with them most of the afternoon and talking about next weekend. Thanks for dinner Ninny!
Yesterday we went to Mrs. Gwen Marsh's funeral. Mrs. Gwen had been in the nursing home for a while, but I'm sure it is still hard for her family to let her go. After that Dad and rode over to visit Mike Kelley. I've spoken about Mike here before. He has cancer and is taking rounds of chemo. Yesterday he was in good spirits and we laughed while reminiscing about the old times. He looks good, well as good as he can look I guess. Keep fighting big guy, I love ya.

NEED YOUR HELP!!
Hey Guys,
The Dystance4Dystonia 5k Run this year is on September 24. The start and end line will be at Covenant United Methodist Church at 3610 West Main Street in Dothan. If you are not registered, it will begin about 7 that morning. We would love to have everyone!!
The paragraph above was posted as a comment a few days ago by my Aunt Virginia, Mom's sister. Her husband Tim has Dystonia and this 5k is a mission that that Uncle Tim, Aunt Virginia, Howard, and Rebecca have worked very hard to promote. Last year in addition to the 5k they had a 1 mile fun walk that the Stephens' did and we were all rather loud. I hope that the Hornsbys weren't too embarrassed, although Aunt Virginia did have to admit that the two loudest ones were her 2 favorite brothers.
If you can make it please come over to Dothan and join us. It won't take long and door prizes will be given. If you can't make it, donation will be graciously accepted.

Happy Anniversary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today is our 4th anniversary. It is really hard to just look back and see the roller coaster we have been on in these 4 short years. DeAnn always says that she's been married 4 years, but I've only been married 3 1/2 because I was out of it for 6 months. I talked to Vermillion a few days ago and told him this was coming up and he couldn't believe the wreck was 3 1/2 years ago. It really blew his mind.
DeAnn, I can't thank you enough for standing by me through all of this and I hope you realize how much I love you. Oh yea, today think about Garth Brooks so you don't feel bad that a present will not be waiting on you.

Update
Since it was Dad's Birthday Monday I had to post that and couldn't give and update on other things. Well, the 2nd weekend of the month was the "ticket tournament" at the ECC. The weekend was great and we had a wonderful turnout for the raffle. In fact I believe it went down as the most successful weekend ever at the club. We had the "Lower Levee Boys" on the patio after the raffle and a good crowd stayed to hear them.
Last weekend we went to some friends wedding. It was a very nice wedding(I can't use the term sweet). It cooled off as a storm blew in but it never rained and it was very comfortable. Congrats Drew and Ashton!
DeAnn is competing in a boat race Saturday in Montgomery. I believe it is for charity and her company is involved. If you happen to be close to the river go check her out. Also, Saturday afternoon our good friend and my classmate Cammie Kelley is getting married at Landmark park. I know it will be very grand affair if Cam is involved.

Happy Birthday Pop!
Today is Dad's 61st birthday. I think over the last 3+ years I have conveyed how I feel about my family. Five or six years ago dad had a list of things he wanted to do. A couple years later it became a bucket list after the movie came out. The last thing on this list is a trip to Key West. I wanted to do this last year for his 60th b-day, but with him building and me buying the agency the timing was terrible.
Well a few weeks ago I mentioned the trip to Uncle Daniel and he went into full blown planning mode. So, 6 of us are leaving Oct. 5 and flying to Miami. The next morning we will start a drive to Islamorada. We plan on exploring all the keys, but I am on a mission to watch the sunset in Mallory Square. I know this is not a birthday present, but I think it will feel that way once we are wheels up.
Happy Birthday big Guy! I love you so much.

Hump Day!
Hey Guys,
I thought I had posted last week, but as I got in I noticed it was July the last time you heard from me. I really am sorry. Anyway, last Friday I had to go back to AAL to change a few things on the knee. After we made the adjustments I had a little time so I stopped by HeathSouth and saw LeeAnn, Jennifer and the rest of my old therapist and friends. We had a great visit except it was so hot and every time I got out of the car sweat was just pouring off of me.
I went to DeAnn's office and saw some of her co-workers that I haven't seen in a while. She has a few characters up there that just crack me up. The only problem was I got scolded every time I laughed or talked. We left and tried to get in a little back to school shopping.
After shopping we had a dinner date at the Pub with Teddy and Lisa. We had such a good time catching up with them and the food was great as usual. As we were leaving DeAnn and I both agreed that those two were the biggest reason we miss living in Montgomery. Good Times!
Saturday saw us go to Dothan to check on Mom at the hospital. Oh yeah, Lucia had a bout with diverticulitis. By Saturday, she was doing well and ready to go home. However, us being hospital experts we knew it would be Sunday. Sunday, after Ham I went to break Mom out. I'm happy to report she is doing well and back to her busy ways.
