A Wonderful Man

David's grandpa passed away last night. He is watching over us all and taking care of Clara for us. He will be missed. Please pray for the family that they have strength and peace during this time.

Ka-Boom!!

We had an awesome 4th of July this year!! As a group the guys all bought the Doom Firework package and had an awesome show!! David was super excited this year because he it was one of his first years shooting fireworks!! I was really excited about my giant sparkler!! They are awesome. Here is a picture of David setting up one of his first mortars...

It was an awesome night with friends just hanging out watching the fireworks show that they put on for us!!

On another note Lillie is gone...and Zoe is sad...here is a picture of how we had to sleep while we were having Girls Sleep Over this weekend....it was certainly interesting having another dog in the house this weekend...and I know that Zoe certainly enjoyed having her "big" sister around.

Girls Night!!

Well last night was interesting around 11pm my sister and her family brought over their dog Lillie for us to dog sit while they went down to San Juan and San Antonio for the weekend. Lillie is Zoe's sister and lets just say it was an interesting night....they played and played until about 2 am when we went to bed. They played inside and outside and basically anywhere they could.

We were up late making ice cream for today's Anderson' BBQ. This year it was my first year making it alone and I hope I did Jomi's ice cream justice. Hopefully our day gets alittle more relaxing than the morning we had. Dogs in bed are not the best company but I guess they thought we were having a sleep over or something.

On a side note here is a picture of some flowers I was growing but sadly the heat has won....

Today we plan on having a lunch BBQ with the Anderson's and then shooting fireworks and cooking out with friends!! Should be an interesting day!! David said that this year he will be in on the firework action!!

WHEW!!

WHEW!! Im finally done with VBS and pretty much on the downhill side of the summer!! I recieved my contract in the mail last Wednesday which was a nice change from my great nephew's funeral that I attended earlier that afternoon. Its really been a whirlwind of emotions that came with the passing of Jude and Jacob. I feel that the boys are hanging out and playing with Clara keeping each other company until we are there to be with them.
On happier notes...I am finally getting most of my wedding planning done. I have Save-the-Dates ready to go and pass out. VBS was a very busy time and wasn't any easier considering that I've been having an allergic reaction to something that I have no idea....so Friday I finally went to the doctor to figure out whats causing this reaction...while they didn't know they did give me some meds to stop the reaction from happening anymore and told me to wait for it to flare again and then go to the Allergy specialist to get tested. Im really not looking forward to that but they said that it could be a Heat Reaction and if so then I might save myself from the needles!

Well that is all I have for the moment....we've kinda had a very slow and easy life lately and its been nice!!

Quick Update!!

Well this week has been Davids first offical week working all week...and I've been gearing up for VBS next week...David comes home and I start waking up so that I can be at church for decorating...and let me tell you these guys are doing a GREAT job at it...well I am off to bed...hopefully I'll have pictures soon!!

New Possibilities!!

Well its offical I am a Pre-K teacher at Loctus. I signed my letter agreement last week along with filling out my pre-employment packet along with setting up my Employment Orientation session!! I am super excited about my future job which offically begins August 17th. But am a tad sad at that thought that I won't be seeing David as much as I am used too. He will continue working at BCBS while adding a new job...being a Greeter at Conway Freight!! David starts tomorrow night so from 12pm to 6 am I will be by myself at home and in the future he'll be working 3 pm to 6 am while I work 7 am to 4 pm. We're both excited about what the future holds for us and getting to where we'd love to be!!
Along with new jobs we also decided to take the carpet up in our hallway and found out that its awesome. So from there we continued that same evening ripping up the carpet in our living room. On Sunday we went to Lowe's to look at some finishing touches that we'd like to make to our house. We picked out the stain for the hardwood, tile for the kitchen, kitchen cabinets and paint colors for the accent wall in our livingroom!! Yes we have lots to do along with all the planning needed for the wedding but I am happy to say that I have picked out Bridesmaid dresses and flower girl dresses.

On top of all of that I am slowly getting VBS ready to go...we've had about 16 kids sign up and have all our teaching staff picked along with many crew leaders.
