A Fabulous Friday (and a little bit about Thursday too! )

So this whole updating my blog consistently is very new to me, in case you haven't noticed! :) So it is kind of hard for me to come up with interesting things to write about. Hopefully I will get better at this so stick with me! :)

Today was a very good day. I was really busy at work and I love it when that happens because I feel so productive. Today was one of those days for sure. We have a meeting coming up on Sunday that I was peparing for so that kept me busy. At lunch I got a nice surprise when my mom called me and told me my Nanny was in town and wanted to eat lunch with us at Pizza Classic. That was a double win for me because I love my Nanny and I haven't eaten there in forever! It beat the can of ravioli I was planning on eating for sure! It ended up being me, Nanny, my mom, Adam, and Micheal. It was really weird Dad not being there. We are so used to him being able to meet us for lunch if we all do something but with his new job he can't do that anymore. It was kind of sad but I know he LOVES his new job so its ok. As long as he is happy so am I. :) I was so mad because I left my camera on my desk because I was uploading pics at work so I couldn't take a picture of all of us. I plan on going to Nanny and Pappy's house a couple more times for cookouts before school starts so I will take lots of both of them when I see them. I have the best grandparents on both sides of my family! I am so thankful that all four of my grandparents are still with me and I pray they are for a WHOLE lot longer! I so desire my kids to meet them someday! Seeing Nanny at lunch was just another reminder of how blessed I am! :) Here are some pics of me and my grandparents this summer. I don't have a recent one with me and Poppa because he was not feeling well the day of Adam's graduation which is when we took pictures.

I LOVE this picture of me and Pappy. My mom has one of her and him in the exact same pose on her wedding day. I will have to scan it on my computer so I can show yall! It is so sweet!

Me and Nanny and Pappy in Ruidoso this summer! :)

Me and Nana at Adam's graduation! :)

Poppa! This was taken a few years ago. He hasn't been feeling well for a long time. My heart hurts for him. He is having a tough time right now but I know deep down he is still the same Poppa I love with my whole heart! I would appreciate your prayers for him right now. Thanks! I know we serve an awesome God who is working miracles in his life even as I type this!



Now, onto a lighter subject! :)

Last night Micheal and I went over to Andy and Meg's to play a game. We played the new electronic Life game. It was a lot of fun! Mainly because watching Micheal and Andy compete in anything is hilarious! Even a simple board game turns into a huge battle between those two! Ha! I took a few pics of us playing the game. Enjoy!


Here is Andy with Jaymes and Zyleigh. Madilyn was at the lake with her friend.



Micheal Dean (he was smiling because he thought he was winning) Ha Ha! :)


Meg and I! I love this girly soooo much!



Here are some pics I took yesterday before we went to Andy and Meg's. I was just messing around but they actually turned out pretty good. I am proud of how good I am doing about remembering to bring my camera and take pictures.

I love this picture of Tyson! I took like fifty pictures of him and out of all of them this was the only good one.


He didn't understand why I was just sitting on the porch taking pictures! He wanted to go somewhere so bad. He stood by my car forever until he finally figured out we weren't leaving.


Here is Micheal playing his new game I got him for his birthday. I feel bad because he has had it for almost two weeks now and has only got to play it once. He has been going non-stop this summer and in the evenings he is sweet enough to hang out with me instead of playing his game! :) Look how happy and content he is!! :)



This picture cracks me up because it looks like he is scared! Ha! We were talking when I took the pic and I must have caught him mid-word but it looks funny.



Have a fabulous weekend!!

  2. I too like reading your blog. When I started mine I wasn't sure if anyone would read it, but I guess some people do. I really write it more for myself than anyone else. Glad to know you are updating more. I will start checking in again. It's surprising how you can make a good blog story out of almost anything. I mean, I've posted about flowers, our plum tree, the dogs, the weather, just what ever comes to mind that day. Keep at it and you'll find it easier too. Welcome back.

  3. De,

    You are too sweet! You are such an inspiration to me as well! You are an amazingly strong woman of God and I am so blessed to have you in my life! Love you bunches!

    Linda,
    Thanks for the encouragement. I love reading your blog too! Your was the reason I decided to start my own. I started reading yours whenever you guys went to Alaska and I have been a faithful reader ever since! I need to do a better job of commenting. I also read Tina's blog, I am so excited that she is having another baby! I attempted to update my background to make it look cute but I couldn't figure out how to put the one I really wanted on there. So when things slow down for you (I know you have been crazy busy) I would love to get some input from you about how to do it! Thanks a bunch!

    Love,

    Amanda
