Something Better

Sigh. Greg & I broke up today. It wasn't very amicable. But it's a long story with a long history that I will not share here. I think it is definitely God's will. This is a new beginning, I guess, to go with my new home. There's got to be something better out there. I am, however, happy to announce that I will be closing on the house on June 26! It is all finished except for we are waiting on the blinds to get here. I will post pics soon. Here's to new beginnings...

House Progress

Well the house has come a looong way since the last time I posted. It is nearly finished! It is supposed to be appraised on Monday and from there we should be able to set our closing date!!! I am so excited! 

Racing Tadpoles

On May 3rd Christopher ran in the Tadpole Race at the high school for Toad Suck Daze. Mommy didn't get to be there because she had a home buyers class to go to. But Christopher ran the race with his step-brother Zack and his step-cousin Chloe and a ton of other little ones. Daddy said he did pretty good, came out in the middle. He sure doesn't look to enthused running down the track though...lol.

Mother's Day 2008

Well it seems Mother's Day, at least in the corporate sense, was a disaster this year. We, as in Mom, Dad, Kevin, Trish, Trish's mom Mary, Trish's son Jonathan, Krissy, Billy, Christopher and I, attempted to go to Red Lobster for lunch after church. Yes, crazy idea I know. And no, it didn't work. We got all the way up there and there was a 2 1/2 to 3 hour wait for a table for a group. Wow. Well the lunch idea deteriorated from there and it ended up that Christopher got McDonald's and stayed at home with PawPaw while Mom and I ate at what used to be Joey's but is now Mickie's and the everybody else went there separate ways. Mom came to church with Kevin, Christopher and I that morning and she said that and eating at Mickie's were the best part of the day. The in between part kind of wasn't so great. Anyway, here are a couple of pics of Christopher and I just goofing around at Mom and Dad's after we got back from eating.

"Flaming Queso"

She looks like a little gnome :)

This pic is sooo cute of Zoe & Greg

The Friday that Kevin came home, we all hung out at mom and dad's and had pizza. Saturday night, Greg and I, Kevin and Trish, and Billy, Krissy and Zoe went and ate at Marketplace and then hung out at Krissy and Billy's for awhile. It was great! Sunday morning Kevin, Trish and Krissy came to church and then we went to lunch at Mazzio's and then that night had a bbq at mom and dad's. It was a wonderful homecoming weekend for Kevin and we are so glad to have him home!

Kevin is Home!!!

Kevin finally came home to us on April 25, 2008. The India Co. 23rd Battalion arrived at Camp Pike in NLR at around 3p.m. I didn't think I would get that emotional, but as soon as the buses pulled up I was boo-hooing. Krissy and I didn't think that we were going to be able to go to Camp Pike to meet him, but at the last minute we were both able to! We had a looong wait. Mom, Dad, Trish and her son and mom were there since noon. Krissy and I got there around 1:45p.m. DAD CRIED. Talk about sad, oh my goodness. But it was great! Just completely wonderful. Christopher did get quite impatient, but after he got a snack he was good to go again. We got some great pics and video. It is so awesome to have Kevin home and we got to spend a lot of time together with him and our family over the whole weekend. My brother is home!!

Christopher's "letter" to Uncle Kevin

We have walls! The first pic is the kitchen. The second pic is the living room w/the box ceiling . Then the tub, back of the house, and view from the garage. With Krissy living down the street you know she'll be in my tub all the time, just look at the pic!
