Yard Work

On Tuesday evening my Anderson side of the family spent some time filling a dumpster with logs John had spent several evenings cutting down. It was a fun project and we had a lot of fun visiting and spending time with each other.










I love this neighborhood, it is so beautiful and quiet!

Everything I never knew, I always wanted

My life has been a bit crazy lately. As of August I got a new FULL TIME job at Vault Denim, thanks to my sweet Aunt Jill. It has been quite a bit of work but definitely has its perks! I work with some of the nicest, funny and enjoyable people. I have been lucky enough in my short time there move from working in the warehouse to accounting where I am Jill's assistant (another perk!).
I never could have imagined how my life would be on the verge of turning 27. I just feel so lucky how my life has turned out so far. The best husband, a wonderful job, a warm comfortable home (near my Mom), awesome friends and family and many other blessings.

Then.......



and now!

Not Lookin' My Best

I woke up this morning feeling a little itchy, to my surprise when I looked in the mirror I didn't quite recognize my self. What I saw was more like 'Craterface', as less like normal Barbie. For those of you that have not seen Grease I have added both his and my picture. Not too cute.....


Needless to say today has been awfully uncomfortable. Although, I don't know if the is a good thing but I'm sadly use to skin problems. . . . so on the brighter side I know it could always be worse. So I guess I'm feelin pretty lucky (and a little itchy)!

Birthday Boy

Colby turned 26 on the 16th of October. He had a pretty relaxed birthday, with a few decorations, watching football with friends, a Halloween costume party, a thoughtful cupcake and some cheesecake. I love you so much honey and am so glad you were born and I get to have you in my life everyday! As my family would say 'love you high as the sky, deep as the ocean, long as the telephone wire'.

Sweet Baby Nate

Ben and Betsy had their fourth sweet kid on September 8th. Shannon and I were able to make the trip out to Virginia to see him on the 16th. He is so cute and hardly ever cries or fusses. I think being the fourth he already is very go with the flow. We spent more of our trip just hanging out, holding Nathan, going to school lunch with Michael and Emma, playing St.Petersburg and being entertained by Sarah. We talked a lot about what kind or personality Nate will have, I think the four of us have done this since Michael was born. The other three are already so different, it will be interesting to see where he'll fit in.

Painting Project

We have been cleaning out the shed in our backyard and planning on tearing it down. But with the kids in town I thought it might be fun to let them paint it. I used some spare white paint to freshen it up for fun painting. This was the result.....

William Thacker's Door




Griffis' Door





I painted both Mom's and my door BLUE. I love it, even though a lot of people have nicely said 'wow that's really blue'. After I finished it reminded me of Hugh Grant's house in Notting Hill. Anyway, I love love love my new door!
