I forgot to mention that if you don't want to type the recipes in, I completly understand. You can mail them to me and I will return them all asap. That way you don't have to spend a lot of time typing.
Thanks again. And thanks to Kimmy for being the first one to get back to me. Go ahead and buy yourself some special little treat.

new email
I just changed my email adress so everybody update it please and send the recipes to this one. christylavee@yahoo.com
2nd Edition Family Cookbook!
Hello everyone! I am retyping our family cookbook this year because I couldn't find my saved copy. I am also doing it a little different this time. It will be 8x10 format and fit just in a binder. The pages will be in loose sleeves so they last longer and if the binder is too bulky, you can take out the one page you are using. This will make it easier to add future recipes the next time we update it. I can just print the new one instead of doing them all again. So, I need everyone to email me any new recipes. I know you all have some because I hear all the time about new things everyone makes. My email address is christy_na_na@yahoo.com. I am also including a section on Holiday Ideas. This is for fun recipes but also any cute ideas for crafts, table settings, etc. Maybe I'm the only one who draws blanks when I think about this but I could use all the help I can get! Example: Dinner in A Pumpkin, Graveyard cake. Please get these to me soon so I can get this done for everyone. Thanks to all.
P.S. Shane is also welcome to contribute and anyone else. We wont think any less of the male gender for taking an interest.

The Story
Well, since Jeff had to go and post something above my announcement, I figured I had to post something to get my glory back. So, this is how it all went down.
We decided to go golfing, which we have been meaning to do for a long while. We went to Rose Park golf course near Kirk & Christy's. I had decided that I would put the ring in the 9th hole so when she made her put she could find the ring and we would still get our full game in. The only problem was, I would have to leave the ring in the box so it didn't get lost or damaged, although that made it easier for her to see. It was a risk I was willing to take.
About hole #7 I was thinking I had made a huge mistake. Needless to say, we are not professional golfers and couldn't make any of our putts. I realized it would be a disaster when she went to putt and it took her 3 shots. She would see it too soon for sure.
So, along came the 9th green. I had to get her to slow down while I went and found my ball, so I told her to wait and we would have a competition on the final hole, the loser of course would have to buy drinks. I went and removed the flag, ever so slyly placing the ring and box in the hole. I went first and missed my putt but quickly hit my ball in the last 6 inches.
That is when the miracle happened. The heavens were opened and Tamara sank her putt from about 12-15 feet. After the day's putting, I am sure it was divine intervention that got the ball in the hole. She was pretty excited about that and was already celebrating as she went to pick her ball up out of the hole. When she got there she bent down about halfway before she just stopped and stared.
I was of course kneeling down next to her now and I picked up the ring since she didn't seem to want to pick it up herself. She didn't really say anything, but started hugging me and freaking out, so I figured that counted as a yes.

Thank you all
Well, I am glad to announce that tomorrow mom and dad's loan will be paid off that we have been paying on for the last couple of years. Thank you all for doing that, mom and dad are very thankful. For those of you who are depositing money automatically, you may want to stop the transfers. Or, I know we talked about using it as a reunion account if you wanted to, but we never committed on anything. Just know that the loan is paid off and mission is accomplished. Thanks again!
