The Life and Times of the Wagoners

Hello everybody. Wow you are right this is a wonderful time of year to reflect back on all the blessings that you have acquired this past year. We are all busy with the hustle and bustle of
the season and that is exactly why we all should stop to smell the roses. I'm very thankful for
our Lord and Savior first and foremost. Second I'm thankful for my children, my mom, and all
my family. I'm thankful that I too am able to attend college. I'm soooooo proud of us three
Wagoner girls for getting our education. I'm also proud of a fourth Wagoner who went before us and showed us that we can do this college thing (Aunt Mary). Leann and Jennifer you rock!!!!!!!
And Hey Hey Hey, why aren't there more of you Wagoners out there posting on this site. It's
a great way to keep up with each other. Okay update.........Austin has been going on very dangerous missions everyother day. I'm sure it's very scary and one day he was on a mission and he saw a lot of IED's on the road, then the very next day he had to be lead vehicle on same said road. He came back safe. You guys pray for him and his unit. He has been told he will be
coming home from Iraq around December 19, which is his 22nd birthday. His wedding is February 9th in Atlanta, Ga. I know some of you cannot attend, however I am hosting a wedding reception the weekend before in Dallas (actually Plano) at my church(where we had
Charles funeral). You are all invited and expected to come. No excuses..................His fiance
Megan and her dad are arriving in town today. They are staying with us till Friday morning.
She is in the process of moving out to Colorado Springs(his home base). Well I gotta go there is
some bling bling that is calling my name.............So much bling so little time...........Love Cindy...

I love this time of the year.... Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on the things that God has blessed us with. I am very thankful for my family and my life would be so empty without Brandon and Ty. I would like to thank my parents and grandparents for always being there for me. Thank you Lynda, Eddie and LeAnn for encouraging me to finish college, we appreciate everything that you do. I have many friends that I am thankful that God has placed in my life. I believe that you should count your blessings everyday but make sure that during this special time of the year you take time out to tell the people in your life how special they are to you. I am taking this time to tell each and everyone of you that you are special and we love you all very much.
Happy Thanksgiving
Jen, Brandon and Ty

Do you ever feel like you could break at any moment? Well I felt like this last night, thankfully my wonderful mother in-law was there to hear me crack.....thank you Lynda. Why do we gals think that we can handle it all? We put so much presure on ourselves to do it all and be the best at everything that we do. We think that we can do it all and therefore we keep adding to our stack until we finally break. This is to all us gals: we don't have to be perfect and we need to learn when to say "NO I'm sorry but I can't"!

I'm so glad that you are doing this. What a great idea. We are all busy and this is a great way to keep in touch. Cheyenne loves her new school. She started going to Bethany Christian school this
year. Austin is still in Baghdad and goes out on dangerous missions every other day. He is so ready to come home. And of course, I can't wait to give him a great big ole hug........................
His wedding is 2-09-08. You can look at his and Megans wedding site at mywedding.com/austinandmeganarnold It is really cute and it gives background information on Megan and how they met. It tells about the wedding venue, where they are
registered and has an online guest book that anyone can sign. Check it out. I have been very
busy going to school 5 days a week and I also waitress at a little restaurant on Saturday and
Sundays from 7am to 3pm. Starting on 12-01-07 I will be working from 7am to 7pm on Saturdays. I love my Microbiology class, it is so stinkin awesome. My spanish class is okay,
but my teacher gives loads and loads of homework. I'm so proud of Ty and I know he will do
great...........Tell Brandon Hello, Love you guys and will see you soon........Love Cindy

It is sad that a child can get online and know just what to do but I can't!!!! Still testing everything out. Hopefully my friend Steph will show me how to customize and add photos. So as the title says "under construction", it may take me a few days to get our blog page to look like I want it to. Please bare with me!

I am very new to this but a good friend Steph Gibson introduced me and I think it is going to be a great way to share our family with our extended family and friends. I hope to add a new post at least once a week. As many of you know I am trying to work full time and attend college full-time plus all my wifely and motherly duties so as I said I am going to try to add a post at least once a week.... Today at supper Ty just couldn't wait to share his great news!!! He got the role of Santa Claus in the 3rd grade Christmas play "Christmas at the OK Coral" he is sooo excited. Tomorrow night is the BIG fundraiser at his school the Hot Dog Howdy. It is a long night for some of us parents but it is something that I am going to miss next year since Ty will be moving up to the Intermediate School (crying). What happened to the last 9 years?? I loved "Don't Bink" by Kenny Chesney it is so true. You lay your baby on your chest and then you blink and they are 9 and in the 3rd grade. It is just crazy.....
