Sound and Music Party

Tonight, Josh and I hosted the "Sound and Music Party." It was for all of Josh's volunteers in the Sound and Band department. We had lots of food and great conversations. We wanted to honor the dedicated volunteers that work every week. We couldn't do it without them. Josh has a great team of volunteers. Each one of them does an awesome job!! Thanks guys for all you do!!
Derick and Becky. She helps me in the nursery and he is the #1 sound guy!! Not to mention they can cook. He makes an amazing apple pie and she fixes the best chicken salad!!

Thanks to everyone who made my birthday the best ever. Thanks for all the calls, gifts, and love that I received!! I am very thankful for all of my friends and family!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday

We got back to NC just in time for my birthday party at mom and John's. Jessica and I had joint parties this year..I guess we are getting older and can no longer do it seperate. It was a lot of fun.

Monday night, Connie fixed a wonderful dinner for my birthday. We had a great meal and wonderful conversation.

Road Trip

On Friday night, at 8pm we decided to head to Washington DC. We were actually heading to NY but decided not to go b/c we had to be back on Saturday by a certain time. So....we arrived in DC around 1:30am. We found a hotel and went right to sleep. We got up the next morning and went into DC to see a few sights and then got something to eat. We headed back a little after lunch. It was a fun trip.
See the excitment waiting for the metro!!

Our camera died just before we got on the metro...sorry folks..these are all the pictures we had!!

Happy Thanksgiving #3

For dinner, we ate at mom's. We got to meet Jessica's new boyfriend and enjoyed good food. It was a long day but we enjoyed every minute of it.

There's nothing like uncle Josh

Kara was showing us what she wanted for Christmas

Josh was trying to figure out if he wanted to get up early?? Everyone was looking through sales papers trying to decide if it was worth getting up at the crack of dawn. We decided it wasn't!! We enjoyed our sleep Friday morning.

Not sure what they were doing on the computer

Happy Thanksgiving #2

For lunch on Thursday we went to Dunn. Josh and I enjoyed ourselves....maybe too much!!! Uncle Jim out did himself this year!!! We were glad to see everyone.

Happy Thanksgiving #1

Wednesday night, we ate with dad at our house. We enjoyed "holiday food" I will admit is not my gift in preparing. I have never cooked holiday food so it was an adventure. Normally, we don't eat traditional food with dad but Heath wanted it. Hopefully, we will go back to the non-traditional meal next year.

Thanksgiving isn't right without sisterly love

Somebody fell off the bed

After a long week at work, smiles are hard to come by

Dad and the girls played in the extra bedroom.

Carolina game

Two weeks ago Josh went to this game with his dad, Jared, and grandfather. They enjoyed good food and lots of laughs.

Smile

These will end up on myspace!?!

What???

It's that time of year again

Today, we took our christmas card picture. No worries...it is not one posted. Here are a few we took behind our house.

Macy...

We had a hard time taking pictures with Macy. She was not very cooperative. I don't remember her being like that last year when we took pictures. In the middle of a picure she would take off running down the railroad tracks and then over to the high grass. It was a challenge to take pictures with her this year. We ended up letting her run for a while and then she sat still.

She kept running off

Josh thought she would calm down if he put a shirt on her.....WRONG!!!


Getting ready for her picture

The Itsy Bitsy Spider

Saturday, we had a visit from the "black widow" I was pulling weeds and putting out pinestraw and felt a sudden sharp pain on my finger. To my surprise there was this nasty creature looking back at me. Josh came to the front of the house and killed it. We then realized it was a black widow. My little pinky finger was starting to swell and turn red. Praise God the only symptoms I experienced were some mild pain, numbness, and tingling. My little finger is almost back to normal. I am so thankful for God's protection. Lessoned learned....wear gloves when working in the yard.
