It has been a while, but I have I missed it?

I guess my stamina is not the strongest when it comes to blogging. Maybe I am just comparing myself to the blog-annonomers that just can't get enough and must get their blog fix daily. Lacy, I love you and think you are truely awesome. So, don't take my words to offense. We all have problems and I am here if you need anything, ever. Well, I can tell you a little about what has been going on since James came back from camp. We have been busy. Yep, that's about it. It is okay though. I like business because it means time goes by fast and the faster time goes by the sooner other cool things happen. Isn't that such a profound statement.


June 15th was our 4th year anniversary. And yes, we are still happily married if you were wondering. I actually love him more now than ever. I have realized that he continues to love me despite my faults (which are not pretty) and the only others who have been able to do that is my heavenly Father and earthly parents. I love James so much, it makes me feel peaceful. I am also so proud of him.

We went to the Vineyard Leaders Retreat this weekend and I really enjoyed it. I love spending time like that with my friends. It gives me an excuse to eat and drink a lot (of Diet Coke). I didn't gain any weight though. I am doing pretty good there. I have actually lost a couple more pounds. Not that any of you really cared to know. We did find out that a few of the trouble makers were up to no good again while we were gone at the retreat. If it wasn't for the storm they would have teepeed our house. Good thing we have God on our side bringing the storms to destroy the schemes of the enemy. Yes, I am talking to you girls.

Love you all! To the Ross', I saw your recent videos on your blog. I put up some of our Colorado pics so you didn't think you were the only ones who enjoyed those neck of the woods. We love it too.

Heeeeee's baaaack!

Well, there he is.
Back in one piece.




Here are some pictures of the wanted Teepeer's. I have just one thing to say. Girls look out! That is an inside jokes for all of you who happened to visit our house last night and were surprised to have two spunky adults meet your toilet paper and shaving cream with garden hoses to your backs. Yeah, I am talking to you. Did you have a wet ride home?

Another day without James

I know he is having fun out there but I miss him so. I have been trying to keep myself busy so far. It has actually helped a lot. I might want to try to spend some time alone tomorrow and just see what it is like. Hmmm. Maybe not. We'll see. If anyone wants to talk go ahead and call me. I won't mind.

I just stepped out!

I just went out to check my strawberries and guess what! I found an ugly, crawly, itching tick on my neck! AHHHHHHHH! I went to kill it and it just wouldn't die. I would show you what it looks like but James has the camera for camp. Here is a picture that I found on the internet that looks like what I found on me! AHHHH!

Also, I have started to itch really bad on both of my arms and it is turning into some blotchy and burning rash! Yikes! I hope there isn't poisen ivy out in my garden.

Anyway, have a great day!

A Couple of Things

First of all James opened his DIGITAL CAMERA! He is really excited to finally have one. I am starting to see the benefits of it as well. Film and pictures are pricey! Now we can even delete pictures we don't like. We are moving forward in this world! Here is the birthday man himself. Doesn't he look happy.


Next, I finally got around to show you all a few pictures of some of the graduation parties we made it to. I thought this would be an "Ah, they are all grown up" moment. Micah of course can't take a normal picture. He saw me creeping behind him and had to show his true colors, which is okay. Micah is officially going to Nashville for college this fall. This is one of the most renown colleges for the music business (this is what I hear, not that I would know).



Tim, he is his cool "old" self. Yeah, I can say old because he is going off to college in Oklahoma this fall as well. Just for everyone's information Landon is off to Oklahoma at ORU and Brandon will be at WSU. Wow, we will miss these guys so much. They were all finishing middle school when we started helping at Arise and now look at them now. "Ahhh."
