Sadness

Our family is very sad today. We found out that Clay and Katie lost their baby. I believe that she was about 6 weeks along. This reminds us how having a baby is indeed a miracle. It also reminds us of the love that Heavenly Father has for his children. Even though bad things happen sometimes, he is always there to help us pick up the pieces and move on. We will keep them in our prayers and know that when the time is right they will be blessed with a child.

Trace Adkins - Celebrity Apprentice - Your Gonna Miss This

Love this song!

Senior 2008

It's that time of year again when seniors look forward to graduation and Laura is ready for it. I've posted sample pics but we are in the process of taking "official" senior pictures. It is time to address the graduation announcements and plan a graduation party! We are so proud of Laura. She has had a challenging year dealing with the after effects of a car accident that occured in Sept. 2007. We are hopeful that this last treatment will be the one that works! Laura is planning on working this summer at Target and will start at TCC in the fall. She would like to attend UNT(in denton) and major in Special Education. It's hard to believe that our baby is already 18 and graduating from high school. Time really does fly by! I'm reminded of a song that Trace Adkins sings, " Your Gonna Miss This". It is about how time goes quickly by and how one looks back on their lives and they miss when their children were young and and all the craziness that comes with being a parent and raising children. I know I'm missing those times when my children were young. Even though, it's nice to have an empty nest, I truly miss having my children around me. But now I get to enjoy grandchildren! My mom says this is the best thing ever! We will see. I've posted Trace Adkins song above so check it out!

The stork has struck again!

The stork has struck our family once again! My sister, Lisa, is going to be a grandma in December! So, does that mean I'm going to be a "great aunt"? Our family is so blessed to be having these two babies join our family. Please keep these two moms, Sharla and Katie, in your prayers that they will have a safe and easy pregnancy and delivery.

P.S. To my Granny, we love and miss you. Please take care of our babies!
To my sister, Lynda, tag your it!

I hope you like the new background. I love the water and the beach. I choose this background as inspiration. In case you didn't know, Dan and I will celebrate our 25th wedding aniversary on December 23, 2008. A lot of people said we would never make it this long. To all of those people (you know who you are), looks like we proved you wrong. Anyway, we were going on a cruise but since we will have a new grandbaby by then we really didn't want to be gone that long. So we are going to compromise ( which is the secret to a happy and long marriage, along with laughter) and go to Mexico for a few days. We have started our diets and have done pretty good so far. Dan has lost 20lbs and I have lost 10lbs! I know it's not a lot but hey, you have to start somewhere right? The beach has always been my "happy place" so when I see this picture it will motivate me to stay on the diet and put a smile on my face !

Hailstones in Texas!

This is what we woke up to last night around midnight. It was so loud and the poor dogs were not sure what was going on. Luckily there was no damage just a bunch of leaves everywhere. Oh well, that is spring in Texas!

TGIF

Thank goodness it is Friday! This has been a hectic and stressful week for us. I had 2 tests and another coming up on Tuesday (wish me luck!). Whitney had to come home from school this week with a migraine. Poor Baby!! She has had this migraine for 5 days. Finally, today the neurologist admitted her into the hospital. He plans on her staying 3-5 days. She is so unhappy that she will miss working the Nascar races this weekend with her dad. Hopefully next week will be better!
