Allow me to brag on my hubby! :)

I am so proud of Sam for this. Saturday evening he went to fill my truck up with gas (which was so sweet of him...by the way!!! :) ) When he got back home....a car full of teenagers pulled in behind him. The driver got out and asked Sam for directions to Darien Lake. Sam said the driver was so drunk that he could hardly stand up. so Sam didn't really know what to do. So he gave him directions, then got in his truck and started following them. He called the cops and gave them the guys license plate number. At that time the cops told Sam to stop following him for his safety and that all the cops were in Corfu cause of the tornado so there wasn't much they could do. We were so mad about that. I mean this kid was clearly drunk and a danger to himself and others. About half an hour later Sam got a call from dispatch telling him that they had just arrested the driver and were taking him into custody. We were so glad and I am just so proud of my husband.

Avon

Well folks...I have joined the world of selling Avon. Let me rephrase that....I'm going to TRY and see how it goes! If I flop then at least I didn't lose anything...and if it works...it will give us some extra cash. I'm really excited about it. I have a website for it where you can actually just go on the website and order if you'd like and have the items shipped right to your house. No shipping fees. So if anyone is interested, the website is www.youravon.com/tvillafranca.

Ugh! How old am I really??? :0

Boy I must be getting old! I know 31 is not old but sometimes my body feels like it's 100 and today is one of those days! We had drill at the training tower last night. Live burn and that's always so much fun but it's also alot of work. I didn't even do much cause technically I'm not even in the class. I just go to watch so I know what to expect when I take the class but I lifted a couple bales of hay to put in the house to burn. I gotta tell you...I'm no farmer!! Those things were HEAVY!!! It was deceiving cause you think hay isn't heavy but holy cow! Heavy!! Then I planted myself by the door of the house so I could help them get the fire hose in or out...whatever they needed. I was sitting there and all of the sudden something scurried past my leg. I thought it was a chipmunk so I got all excited and thought he was so cute till I saw his tail...IT WAS A STINKIN RAT!!!! I thought I was gonna have a heart attack!! If I didn't have all my gear on (so I was totally protected from that horrible thing) I do think I would have passed out!! It was so gross!! Ugh!! Anyway...in spite of how my body feels today it was so much fun and a great experience! I'm really looking forward to taking that class as soon as my instructor teaches it again. He's the only one I'll take it with cause he is very very nice and patient and Lord knows that's what I need!!! :)
Tomorrow is the 4th of July. I love the 4th! So many festivities especially around Akron. We are a very small town but we definitely make the 4th of July a big deal! We celebrate for like 4 days. It's so fun! Tonight we have fireworks. Sam and I are taking either the firetruck or the ambulance for standby just in case anything goes wrong so we get front row seats!! I'm so excited!!!! :) Then tomorrow is the parade. Love parades! Love them!! Anyway...Happy 4th to everyone.
Oh! I almost forgot!!!! Today is one year since we got our little Mogley!!! What a wonderful dog he has been!! He's such a little joy! He definitely has his moments...like when he shredded our leather couch and shredded our leather seats in the back of my SUV, and when he bit our landlord in the knee and supposedly left fang marks!! :) He is a little sweetheart. Loves being with us. He has to be wherever we are. If we are cuddling on the couch he has to be right up on top of us between us. When we sleep he sleeps between us. He's so lovey dovey and we love it. So we are glad to have him!!
