NINE ELEVEN

When I think back to that horrible day in 2001, I realize that it was exactly one month before Aubrey's first birthday and Kaitlyn was in Kindergarten. Neither of them actually remember that day and yet they will never forget. They don't remember a time when American soldiers weren't fighting a war far from home and "terrorist" wasn't an everyday word.

"Football Season"

Yep, it's that time of year again and I have my little sign hung up in our new house (I think it's the only decor actually on a wall right now). Terry has been officiating off and on since we were in college. I'll let you do the math. He works with a crew out of Emporia. Unfortunately, most of their games aren't nearly that close. Tonight, he opens his "season" at Caney Valley... for those of you who don't know where that is, he says you can see Oklahoma from the football field. It should be a nice HOT night for it....

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?

Sophomore and 5th Grader!

First Day of School

August 18, 2011

The Bravettes were performing at CGHS this morning

so Kaitlyn didn't get to dress up for her first day.

Some of the moving crew from last weekend

What a crazy week! We moved on Saturday -- still unpacking boxes.... We couldn't have done it without our amazing moving crew. We really have great friends and family! So now we are in the "new' house, and trying to find stuff so we could start back to school today. And, of course, I picked this year to move to a fulltime position at the school. Can you say, "TIMING"? Yep, we make plans.... God laughs!
