Been a LONG Time!

Marshall, myself and my dad at our vowel renewal. 2010

Evan's senior picture. 2010

I am amazed at how much time has gone by and how long ago I last wrote in this blog.
Since my last writing Marshall and I renewed our wedding vows and my dad walked me down the aisle.
Evan graduated from high school.  I have graduated from college.  I am now the Upward League Director at First Baptist Church.  

Carolyn coaching Upward Cheerleading Camp 2012

Carolyn is a senior in high school this year, and Ethan is freshman in high school.  I have no pictures of Ethan to upload....  he wont let me take pictures of him.  We just finished our first Upward Sports Camp last week.  Marshall is working for the city now.  Evan is a full time student at MSU and works at Alberts Moving and Storage.

Springtime in my backyard

more kitchen work

We have the last bank of cabinets in and the sink and the faucet. It is sooo nice! Marshall did a great job. Some of the really cool features that you cannot see are...the cold water is filtered, and a brand new garbage disposal! The drawers to the furthest left are file cabinet drawers. The drawer that holds the silver ware slides back to expose the drawer that has serving utensils. There is also a slide out cutting board. We all love it! so, now the dinig room floor and the kitchen floor. We have decided to take the laminate flooring on into the dining room but we haven't decided about the kitchen. We also have to figure out what we are going to do about the wall behind the sink. Any suggestions on flooring and wall treatments?

Our Anniversary Gift

We have finished the floor and bought a new couch and love seat.
We have been married 19 years now....
That went fast.
And then I just put a picture of Melanie because I love her!

Floor is almost done

We just have to put on the baseboards and do some touch ups on the hallway. I love it....love it...love it!

Texas Weather...I tell ya!

Here are some pictures of the storm we had Tuesday night. The top picture is over the church...notice the sky is black...now look in the reflection of the window. You can see the blue sky and white fluffy clouds. God's work amazes me. This is the storm that created all the tornadoes in Ok. Hardly, anyone showed up for basketball and cheer leading practice. By the time I left the church at 8:45pm.- the sky here was clear and you could see the stars. Texas Weather!

NEW FLOORS! WOO HOO!

Ok. I am so excited. Today we are going to lay our new laminate flooring. Last weekend we pulled up all the carpet in the living room and hallway. We have purchased the laminate and are ready to begin. Here are the before pictures.
