Hello Everyone!!!
Long live the blog! Lets keep this thing going start blogging. I have had soooo many blessings at my new school teaching art. I will be starting my 5th week of teaching art and I am LOVING it! The kids, the staff, the subject matter. It can get hectic at times teaching 6/7 classes a day with sometimes around 34 kids in a class, but at the end of the day when I turn off the lights and shut the door I am still so excited to look around my room and know its mine and I am a teacher.
On another exciting note Neil has had an eventful summer. He played at the vans warped tour with was great, and has had a few other concerts this month. However he has still been waiting for the contract to be signed and all the legal issues finished. And today he found this article himself posted on the internet saying(you can find it if you google "the smoking section")
maybe thats when you know your getting big when the read about after thousand of others have.
Here is what Big Boi(from the famous rap duo Outkast) said:
Big Boi: Oh yeah, definitely. We did a joint venture with Bad Boy/Universal for the Janelle Monáe project and that’s doing great for us right now. I got a 4 man group, like a rock band but they bustin’ on some real lyrical shit, they’re called Vonnegutt. I’m bout to ink their deal up next week. And of course there’s Konkrete and Backbone. So we just been working and making music.
Pretty cool and since it was posted on Sept. 3rd hopefully he will hear very soon!!!
Have a great week everyone and keep the blogs coming...and I gave Linda special permission to not have to follow directions. (meaning anything goes when she writes on the blog)
love you all ><>, Kelly

UPDATE on VONNEGUTT
So I am going to have to totally brag on Neil. Neil's band Vonnegutt just got picked out of 12,000 bands to play on a stage at Lakewood Amphitheatre in Atlanta. They only picked 4 out of the 12,000!!!! Pretty unbelievable. Neil of course remains very humble and cool with all that is happening but is very excited to live out his dream!!! If you would like to Check out his Myspace page or read any articles or interviews about him google "Vonnegutt". The concert is a full day event on Wednesday and I am lucky enough to go, so I will have to let you all know about it! I will try to post pictures if I can figure out how to do so. Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend! Keep the postings coming! Take Care.................><>,Kelly

A New Season in Life
Hi!
Bringing everyone up to date with Joel's life: On May the 12th 2008 Joel retired from Marion County Civil Division after 18 years. It was with great hesitation that I took this step. As I enjoyed my work as well as the benefits it provided, I have found enjoyment in having my own time with the horses and the duties on the farm. Joanie has six horses on her farm and they are Lolly,Barron, Bolinda,Jeb, Starlight, and Figgy. In my new retirement schedule I have more time for running which I enjoy and look forward to going to more events in the future.

Home of the Free, because of the Brave....
This morning me and my dad attended a wonderful morning service at a church we used to attend. We went today to experience the Patriotic Service in honor of America's Birthday. It wasn't until a few years ago that I realized that freedom was never free in countries. This morning it was as if we were at the steps of the capital in Washington D.C. There was full percussion, orchestra, and brass section along with a choir. The reason was to honor those who have served and serve. A variety of patriotic songs were sang and they honored those in their individual branches to stand when they heard their Military Hymn played. While the song played the division flag was carried down and a person in full uniform walked down the aisle carrying it. Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard...it was so cool .There were 70 year olds wearing there sailor suits and as proud as ever. I watched my dad and grandfather stand during the Air Force march and it was so moving. Overall, it was an amazing morning. So glad to see those who gave so much be honored. How blessed we are to live in a Country where will choose to live in the way we please. I hope this week and always I will continue to never take it for granted. My only regret today was that I wish Myers could have seen it...he would've loved it :) ><>,Kelly
Genetic Compositions
Members of the Bewan Blog: Here’s the stock you are made of…If you ever think you have an unbearable pain or suffering to go through, just think first of Lucile V.C.B. as I saw her this morning. Swollen thumb bursting red with a red line running up her wrist, she shuddered to even have air touch it. She forwarned the Physician’s Assistant who had told her it might hurt, that she was very tender --even from the time her Mother made her dresses and would accidentally prick her with a pin while adjusting seams.
I squeamishly asked her if she wanted me to wait outside (say“yes,” say “yes”). She said she might “holler”. Was that a yes? I knew that would be the coward’s way out. I actually thought of Linda’s innumerable visits to Mayo with Mother and seeing through the treatment of her eye, legs, foot, stomach, head, hmmm, you name it, she’s seen it, --procedure and treatment. So I stuck it out and Mother definitely stuck it out, three shots of anesthesia and some scalpel business I chose not to watch, but stayed for ---she made it through with several muffled groans and not one holler. She did choke up just before the doctor came in, telling me about the time Daddy rushed home from college when Camille was born. I almost lost it then, but whew, we both made it through the rest!
She’s all patched up now with an oversized thumb bandage and sleeping off the distress of the day. Thank you, in your own way, Mother for being 93 strong. We all carry a piece of it with us. ..right down to that cute little Riley as seen below.
