Cassidy at bat!

We have been working hard at keeping our eye on the ball!

Update on the House

It's been a while since I've posted.  As you will see we have been really, really busy.  Our little house is coming along. 

 It looks almost finished from the outside, but it still has a long way to go.  I'm currently wiring the inside and putting up insulation.  I'm about to make the decision to do the heating and air myself.  I've never done that kind of work, but it seems like I should be able to save a lot of money if I can figure it out.  I really appreciate the help my dad and father-in-law have given me!  I will try to post some inside pictures next time.

Starting to Build Again!

We are beginning another great adventure in our life. After living in town for roughly five and a half years, I think we are ready to try the country life again. So what is the plan? How about we live in a small cabin for a while and see where that life takes us!

My Birthday, and 50 Years Ago Today

I'm proud to celebrate my birthday on the 50th Anniversary of John Glenn's historic flight into space. Few people today can be called real American heroes, but John Glenn certainly fits that title. WWII and Korean Veteran, first American to orbit the Earth, U.S. Senator, married for 69 years, and oldest person ever to go to space (he was 77 when he visited the space station in 1998).



Today has been a really good day. Because it was President's Day, I had the day off and was able to spend some time outside and some time with my family. Those are two of my favorite things in life to to do.

I plan to teach my girls about people like John Glen, and other American Heroes. We still need people to look up to today. Of all his accomplishments, his lasting marriage is to me one of his greatest. I wasn't there 50 years ago, so I'll say it now, "God Speed John Glenn!"

New Blog Site

We have a friend and former neighbor who has started a blog. I put a link on here, but I thought it deserved a post of it's own. The blog is called "Craftin' With Suz," and you can find it

HERE

She plans to post neat craft ideas. Sounds pretty cool! :)

Ending 2011, Starting 2012

Well, the Christmas break is coming to an end. All in all, I think it was a good break. Not only did we have a great Christmas, but we spent some time with our friends from Texas Carry and Stephanie. I didn't get a picture of it, but we also took the girls out to Amy's parent's pond and Cassidy caught a big bass on Saturday. Then, we went to a wonderful New Year's Eve party on Saturday night. Amy snapped this picture of the girls earlier today! Good start to 2012!
