Good evening.

Today was a busy day. We had to go to Reno this morning to get a certified copy of Bryon's name change. When he was 16 his last name was changed from 'Peters' to 'Koury.' He did not have a certified copy of the paper, and he needs it for many reasons. #1~~in order to get a new driver's license (the Real ID act) you have to have a lot of identification. Well, his birth certificate doesn't match his driver's license or his social security card name. So we had to get a copy of the name change so he can get a copy of his birth certificate. It is kind of a long story. #2~~he also needs all this info to get a passport. A few years ago we were going to go to Canada, but Bryon didn't have a birth certificate to get a passport. Plus, for years we have been talking about going on an Alaskan cruise, and, again. he needs a passport. It is kind of a mess........I have our marriage certificate with my 'name change' on it, so I'm all good :) I don't see us taking that cruise any time real soon, but one never knows! If things work out with the house, we will be able to save money to do things that we want to do! We are still in major prayer about the house. Please continue to pray about us keeping our house. Thank you.

When we went to the court house they had to 'wand' David. Yep, he set off the metal detectors!! I told them that I have the documentation about the prosthesis, but they said it was ok, they would just wand him and it would all be good. I totally forgot about the metal detectors! He thought it was kinda fun; crazy kid!!! If he goes through metal detectors in the summer (and he is wearing shorts) they will see the big 'ol scar! So that made David's morning interesting!

Then we came home and I got to get my nails done (thank you, Jennifer and Rachel). I am so thankful to my daughters for giving me the wonderful gift of my nails. It was nice to be 'pampered' for that hour.

Then it was dinner, put food away, dishes, etc. And now we are just relaxing in front of the fire. Actually, I need to finish making my shopping list. I made my 'menu' list (what we will be eating for the next 2 weeks), now I need to make the list of the ingredients to buy to make those meals. It is so much cheaper for me to do it that way. Plus, I don't have the "what should I make for dinner tonight" problem. I have a list, and I just pick from the list. It takes a bit of stress off of me! And that is a good thing!!

I want to say a big THANK YOU to whomever deposited money into David's account. We have to make a trip to San Francisco on Thursday, so the money will come in handy. Thank you so very much!

Thank you for visiting and checking in on David and the Koury Klan. Have a great night. God bless you. {{hugs}}
