Thanks for all we have!!
I'm just so thankful for everything we have. Mitchell and I are blessed with our wonderful home. We finally closed on our house in Cincinnati! Thank Goodness! And, we are so greatful for our little pups-Toby and Bug, who make me smile every minute of every day. We have wonderful family and friends who support us 100% of the time. And I'm extremely thankful for my wonderful husband who supports me and cheers me on every minute of every day. He's amazing! I'm one lucky wife :).
Snow in Georgia!
My first time ever seeing snow in Georgia!!! I moved south to get away from the cold, luckily it only lasted a day. And, it was beautiful! The biggest snow flakes I've ever seen. The warm weather melted it away the very next day. It's amazing that we don't have salt trucks around here though!

Miles Dedication!
Baby Miles was dedicated today in church! Mitchell & I wish we could have been there. He's growing so fast! Handsome little boy! We love you Miles! And, we miss you all! My family!
A Few Short Days in Ohio
I just got back from a small trip to Ohio! I had the pleasure of working the OVMA Veterinary Conference for Merial. It was great being back North working with some of my old coworkers :) and seeing some of my old accounts! Even better, was the opportunity I got to have with my parents! A yummy Italian Dinner at Martinis! And, drinks. My parents drove 3 hours just to have dinner with me and 3 hours all the way home late at night! They are AWESOME! I MISS THEM SO VERY MUCH. Mitchell & Toby & Bug had a great weekend down at the Farm! And, Brandon and David made the trip too. Mitchell and I had a great afternoon today after I flew home. We saw a movie and got some Mexican! YUMMY. Sometimes, I forget how lucky I am! And, just how good it feels to receive a HUG every once in awhile. :) Feels good to be back home again.

House Update!
After a long few months of preparing the house....well, actually creating an entirely new house out of the one we bought :)....it's come along way! Lots of great improvements. Starting from simply scraping paint off of every window, new bathroom,painting every wall on the 1st floor, painting cabinets, doors,etc. Our house is beginning to look more like 'Our Home' and it feels wonderful! Along the way, Mitchell & I couldn't have done all of this on our own! We had great help from our personal painting crew Mom,Dad, & Amy! And, we've owe a lot of thanks to Fondren & Melissa for all the labor they've put into it. And, of course, thanks to Sharon and Bill and Heather and Brandon & Sarah and John and Andy and Kyle & Kandyce for all the support and tips along the way!!!! We have covered a lot of miles, but we have many more ahead of us. And, it's fantastic! The slideshow is just a 'peek' of where we started and how far we've come. Hope you all come visit soon! We have enough chairs now at the table that perhaps we'll have Thanksgiving at our house next year! :) love ya!

Just a random Wednesday Night!
Virginia just left our house. We had a YUMMY meal of PIZZA HUT PIZZA & homemade brownies :). Delicious! We'll miss her as she heads to Texas for a few months!
We are so lucky to have our jobs! it's sad to hear of all the companies and lay offs that have occurred recently. I can't give thanks enough!
And, we are so thankful for our health and our happiness! And for no snow storms down here in GA! But we are keeping you 'Hoosiers' in our prayers as we think of all the snow you are getting! Be safe and we love you!
Love ya all!

It's been awhile since I've updated the BLOG....
So, it's been quite sometime since I've updated the BLOG!
Mitchell & I have actually been pretty 'low key' lately, which is always a nice thing to enjoy some R&R! We have added some great contributions to our home! It's coming along nicely. We got a great island piece for our kitchen - straight out of an old General Motors Factory. It's awesome! And, we have a new 'farmhouse' kitchen table with a bench and just need some chairs. So, soon, we'll be inviting you all over for dinner! :)
Our jobs are fantastic. We are fortunate to have them considering so many people do not in this economy. We are definitely blessed. And, we might have sold our second home in Cincinnati! This is a 'maybe'...but we are 'hopeful'!!!!
And, Toby & Bug never cease to amaze us. :) They are growing pups with lots of energy!
Our church is growing! And, we are continuing to grow with it! It's been an awesome experience.
Our family is doing wonderful! Everyone is healthy & happy. We lift praises for that! Andy is getting over his battle with Mono! Miles is growing up so quickly! Addison and Ella are becoming more beautiful every day! And, our siblings and parents are all doing fantastic!
And, Mitchell & I think we've found our new favorite hang out. It's good to finally have our 'Cincinnati Pelican Reef' Wanna-Be place right near home here in GA! Haha! The Fieldhouse Bar in Buford, GA. Live music on Friday & Saturday nights & Great drinks! We'll give the food a try this weekend!
Have a great weekend!

Back from San Diego, CA!!!
I just got back from a week long trip in San Diego, CA for business! It was a great time, but very busy! I came back with laryngitis-who knew that was possible :). Aside from meetings and the usual, we got to dine in The Gas Light District of the city, which is fantastic! And, I got to see some old friends that live far away!
I'm glad to be home in the arms of Mitchell! And, with Toby & Bug!!! 'Home Sweet Home'.

Happy New Years! '09
Happy New Year! '09!!
We had a great new years day at Sharon and Bill's house! We indulged in a delicious meal of pork loin, corn bread, and turnip greens, and black eyed peas. And, my mom's Chocolate Sheet Cake Recipe! Yum! Hopefully, it will all bring us 'good luck and great fortune' this year! :)
I once learned that 'WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE IS DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO HOW YOU BELIEVE'. If you want God to do the extraordinary, then you must start believing Him for bigger things!
So, we wish you all a Happy New Year! Mitchell & I hope you find each day in 2009 full of blessings! Always look at your glass as half full and may you find it over flowing each and every day.....love ya....
