Kids on vacation

Since my kids were babies they have gone on vacations without JR and myself. Most of the time it is either to Alabama to see the Grandparents or to the beach with

my parents. For Zac's birthday my parents took the grand-kids to Florida for a few days while I stayed home and relaxed. While at the beach they rented a pontoon boat and went tubing. My sisters went to help out with the kids and to get out of Montgomery for a few days. Thanks for letting me stay home!! Don't get me wrong,it looks like they had a blast and I wish I could have been there to see my kids enjoying themselves but my time at home was nice too. I am planning a get-a-way weekend with my little family very soon!

Change

So with everything going on in my life right now, I decided to color my hair. I should have taken a before picture but, there is a change in color. My hair was turning almost brown but now it is back to red. Not sure if the older you get the darker your hair gets but...its back to red and that is all that matters. I just wish changing something would make me feel better! We will see how JR likes it. I didn't even tell him I was going to do it.

Anyways,everyone please pray for my family. We are going through a lot right now and it is effecting everyone. The devil is working overtime right now! I just need the strength to fight back!!!

what to post about???

Well, it has been a while since I have posted. A lot has been going on. Jennifer and Emma have come and gone. We had a good visit. It was too quick though. We didn't get to do a lot. The children and I had to go to VBS each day and my grandmother was in the hospital the entire time Jen was here. Our pool was green so we couldn't swim like we planned. Next time we will come to Texas :) My Grandmother is fine as of right now. Her heart is just getting weak.

The kids are getting ready to start back school. We have a little over a month left of summer break. They have to do their summer reading and write their reports before then! Man they better get on the ball!!

Zac still plans on going to summer camp at the end of July. He will be attending the camp I went to as a child. It is a lot of fun to go back to see how much it has changed. A tornado came threw and destroyed most of the grounds. The cabins with all our names written everywhere were destroyed. Maybe Zac and Ali can leave there stamp one day :)

So Ace will be leaving us soon. He should be flying,yes flying home to be with his family on Monday.We have been taking care of hime for about 5 months now for some good friends of ours. It is amazing all the crap you have to do to fly a dog somewhere. You have to sign away your life to do it. It will be weird living in this house with him. He has been with us since day one of the move. We will survive though,I am sure :)

I am turning 30! Never thought I would be in my 30's :( In my mind I am 21 and will always be 21! I am celebrating my birthday by going to a Shinedown concert with JR and Melissa. First, that morning I am going to get an hour massage and go to lunch with my sisters. I cant wait for the massage! I need it so bad.

So....that is whats been going here :)

making a list and checking it twice

I am so excited! One of my very close friends is coming to see us! I love having company:) It is in my blood as a "Southerner" to enjoy entertaining. Jennifer and Emma are coming from Texas to visit in a few weeks. I cant wait to go to Logan's Steak house and enjoy some good food and good company like the old days. I wish more people would come visit us *hint hint*! People say it's Montgomery what is there to do? There is plenty to do! We have the Biscuit's Baseball team, tons of shopping in East Chase and if that isn't good enough well, there is ME! I am here and that should be enough LOL! Oh and JR is here too. He will always have a story waiting or a Monopoly game to play. So come on everybody its the summer time COME VISIT!

very cool story

what if we had more people like theses guys but taking it to a higher level and adding Christ into the mix and sharing the gospel along the way?

We've been BUSY!

This week JR took off to get "stuff" done around the house. We finally got his office painted and and started to be organized. We are just waiting for some guitar hangers. So there it is. We are almost done decorating the house. I painted the kitchen too. I am still doing touch ups on the kitchen. Next, I want to get rid of the wood boarders in the den and kitchen and paint them white. I think the wood is very 80's.

Naps

It's Sunday and most people on Sundays take naps after church. I am not one of those people. I would rather get "stuff" done and spend time with the family but on this day I took a nap. I regret taking that nap! I slept for 3 hours! Now I CANT sleep!!! It is 12:30am and I wish I had gotten my list done rather than sinking down into my nice comfortable bed with the shades shut and HGTV on and falling asleep. I was so sleepy after having a girls night out and being gone all day Saturday to the ball field. I guess in my old age I just cant be up late anymore :) I never thought at 29 I would be saying I am old but good Lord,I fall asleep watching the morning shows! I take a nap from taking a nap. What has gotten into me? It is like Alabama has drained me from who I use to be. I miss Abilene. I had so much energy. I was working out all the time,my house was clean,my lawn was cut at all times. I move here and all I can do is lay around and get fat. I have to snap out of it! No more naps for me!!
