RED NECK PETE AND HIS CAR

Well now that I have caught up with your alls blogs. I need to bring all of you up to date on mine. So here it goes: Ray and I went to the Outer Banks for our 13th anniversary, without the boys! We had a blast! We laughed alot. So much I almost peed my pants a couple of times. This one in particular time involved a guy which Ray named Red Neck Pete. We had just arrive at the beach in our rented Chrysler 300( such a nice ride) Ray was driving on the five lane highway that runs down through the Outer Banks. Well Ray noticed that cars were stopped as we approached this intersection, just then this clunker appears, and the driver (Red Neck Pete) is trying to make eye contact with Ray. So Ray motions for him to come on out. Well his clunker diplayed some evidence that he had unsucessfully try to make a left turn across traffic at least two times before. However this time he made it saying to his buddy in the car "see I told you it would work, third times a charm". We had so much fun just being together, eating out and laying pool side, talking about the kids. I can't wait to do this again. I have a feeling it will not be until we go to China to pick up Katerina. Thanks to the wonderful man I married for thinking of our relationship enough to take me away. I love you so much!

My foot is not really any better. At first the sexy braces were making it feel somewhat better some of the time, I have another drs appointment in Aug I think I might try the injection.

I have talked with some of you about my blog and realized that some of you, (you know who you are) have been reading and not posting. I am so excited that you are reading, please post so that I know you all care. Even if you just say you were there. Thanks and good night. Tracie

MY SWEET HUBBY, UP TO SOMETHING?

This is my man and wonderful husband. We will be married for 13 years, on July 16, 2007. As July approaches I often start to think about what we could do to celebrate our anniversary. As most of you know the Butka family enjoyed Disney in April and did not get to goto the beach. I have missed the relaxing part of our vacation. So my mom has agreed to take the boys for a long weekend in July, which Ray has arranged. That is all I know and all that anyone includeing my mother will tell me. This is Ray's way of surprising me. Driving me nuts, more like it. I am very blessed and whatever you plan for us will be perfect! I love you! Tracie
