Happy 19th Birthday Jordan

Happy Birthday to my handsome 19 year old today!! I love you to infinity and beyond!!

Mis-sion-a-ry (noun)

Someone who leaves their family for two years so that others can be with their family for Eternity.



I have to keep reminding myself of this quote lately as my heart is just aching big time that Jordan will be leaving in less than a month. I truly will miss this boy with every fiber of my being...but he is doing it for other families and for the Lord so that is what is important.

Happy Birthday Coco!!

Today is our puppy's first birthday!! Ok so I am obnoxious putting pictures of her on the blog but she deserves a birthday wish too!!

Coco when we first got her. (She is actually 2 months old here)


Happy Birthday Coco-bean!! (I swear it looks like she is smiling)

Homecoming 2009

What a fun ending to Homecoming Week!! After a great football win against Roy on Friday (35 to 0) the gang all got together on Saturday for a fun day and night at the dance. Half of the group (Matt's group) went miniature golfing in the afternoon and then later in the evening they all gathered at Blake's house for pictures before dinner. There were 25 couples all together in their group but not all made it to the pictures before....good thing, I could barely get them all in the picture as it was. LOL. They ALL went to dinner at Ruby River and then to the dance....what fun High School memories!!

My handsome young man!!
