We know Carson will have lots and lots of fun with both of them through the years!!! Thanks, Misty and Laura for loving our boy!!!! We love you both!

the big move

After boxing up our house in Abilene and filling the UHaul to the brim, we were on the road to our new home. We had a 15 hour caravan from Abilene to Hohenwald. Thanks to Misty, Laura, Bob, and Lourene for helping us travel! We could not have done it without all of their help, and it wouldn't have been nearly as fun! Misty and I had lots of fun sister time--we talked, laughed, cried, and sang! 

welcome to Hohenwald!!!

Our precious sisters filled boxes in Abilene, helped load the UHaul, took off work and Christmas break, made the drive, and stayed with us for the first few days. We LOVED having them here to unpack boxes and help us get settled in. We had so much fun with them, and we miss hanging out with them every day or two in Abilene. We have the two best sisters in the world! Aren't they cute?!! And, they are just as sweet as they are cute. We love them so much!

Spring Break 2008

We had a wonderful spring break! We had a good combination of playing and relaxing, with a few chores mixed in here and there.

We got to go visit Jacquie, Spruce, and precious Lynlee for a few days. We had a great time hanging out, talking, playing games, eating lots of good food, visiting their church, going to a church picnic, painting pottery (Keith, Spruce, and Lynlee didn't participate in that:)), and playing with sweet Lynlee! She is growing and learning so much! Jacquie and Spruce are wonderful parents!

When we came home I cleaned out our closets, packed up sweaters and unpacked tanks tops and bermuda shorts!!!! I'm excited that spring is here! I made a pretty decent sized stack of stuff to get rid of and am considering having a garage sale when school is out. I also pulled out all of Keith's college t-shirts so that I can make him a t-shirt quilt for graduation! (This will be a new project for me, and I have no clue what I'm doing, but I've already had tutorial number one with my mom, since she's already make one for my sister and I both!)

I spent a lot of time hanging out in my pj's with the kids from Tree Hill High and the girls from the sisterhood of the traveling pants...I'm sure the target audience for this TV show and book series is MUCH younger than me, but that's okay, I had fun anyway:)

Then, I got to hang out with my sweet sister-in-law, Laura. We had fun getting pedicures (umm...it really doesn't get any better than a good foot massage for me:)), playing at Target, and visiting PYOP (Paint Your Own Pottery). We didn't have time to paint, but we are most definitely going back...it is SUCH a cool place--yay Abilene for having a cool place like that:) Laura is lots of fun and we enjoyed doing girly stuff together!

I did other exciting stuff like getting my hair cut and going to the dentist...and yes, I have two cavities:(

Then, our sweet friends Mark and Tara came to visit. We always have fun spending time with them and enjoy a yummy Q basket at Harold's!

Sunday was a happy Easter for us with worship at Highland and family get-together with sammies and an egg hunt at my parent's house.

SISTERS!!!

Misty and I had a good time on Valentine's Day. We enjoyed dinner at Rosa's, then headed to ACU Sing Song, which was wonderful as always--ACU traditions are so much fun!

I love spending time with my sweet sister, and I'm thankful that we're close. I get to see her almost every day! The other day we were at the gym together and someone asked me if she was my daughter....WHAT?!! I am ONLY 17 months older than she is. People alway think that I am older than I am and that she is younger than she is, and I guess hair pulled back and no make-up probably emphasize that...but my DAUGHTER!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Today I am thankful to love and be loved!

It should be a fun day at school with games, art, pink, red, hearts, candy, and lots of sweet cards from my kids. Then, Keith is in class tonight, so I'm having a Valentine's Day date with my sweet sister!

Body Flow

I have recently been attening BODYFLOW™ at the health club, and it is wonderful! It's a combination of Yoga, Tai Chi and Pilates. It is so unlike me to participate in something like this, much less enjoy it, but I love it! I look forward to it every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. An added bonus is that my sister and Keith's sister have been coming too; it's a fun activity for the three of us to do together. If any of you are members of gyms that offer Les Mills classes, you should check it out. You will leave the workout feeling calm and relaxed.
