Happy Early Father's Day!!!

Tonight we celebrated Father's Day early since my three brothers are all going to be out of town on Sunday. We are watching the DiVinci Code (which is one of his gifts), and I must say it is very good. In a couple of weeks we are going to California, Utah, and Arizona so we have been working on our camper. It is looking great and I cannot wait for this trip! I also joined the feather club. I have a yellow and purple one in my hair. They are super cute and I really like them. I have also been going to a college group that meets on Wednesday nights. We had a "speed dating" game. We talked about our faith and how we tell other people about it. I enjoyed it and learned some things about my self. Another highlight of my day was going to my girls Bible study. We are reading the book Set Apart Femininity by Leslie Ludy. I really like the discussions that come along with our weekly meeting at Starbucks. This week had been great and I cant wait for the weeks to come!!

In memory of Haley

Today was a bittersweet day for one of my co-workers. I am wearing pink to honor my co-workers daughter. Haley Palmer lost her battle with Cystic Fibrosis on this day in 2008. Even thought I never got to meet her in person I hear wonderful stories about her from her mom Jenn. Haley has inspired me to do my best and to live my life to the fullest. She has touched so many people and will continue to give many people hope and inspiration. The Haley Palmer Foundation was founded in memory of Haley and it is going to do great things in the future. To the Palmer family, I know that Haley would be very proud of you and thing things that you are doing to end the CF

Lazzy Sunday

It is just another Lazy Sunday at the Usrey house. It is very nice to just watch tv and not worry about going places. I am currently watching the NY Yankees play. They are my favorite team. They are up 2-0 against the Indians. We also got a new pastor at church. He is wonderful and I really liked his sermon today. I think this is going to be a thing for pastor Kirk and St. Stephens. I hope your Sunday is just as great as mine.

Welcome

Hello,

I am doing this to practice for while I am traveling Europe for the Semester. I am excited that it is summer and I hope that the rest of the summer is just as amazing as it is right now. I live in a small town and I love my family. We are going to take a two week vacation to California in July and I can't wait. I will try to post pictures (granted I have internet). I hope your summer is going just as well as mine is.
