Our Busy Weekend

What a weekend!! We've been going non-stop for several days, and I'm saying "THANK YOU LORD!" for the day off from school today. I've been up since 4:30 AM when the tornado sirens first sounded. I think I'll do a quick update post, and then head back to bed for a little nap. Maybe Dave won't call and wake me....he gets so jealous on days like this. He'll call me every hour or so to tell me he loves me, and to make sure that I'm not having too much fun without him:)

Friday started off with our very first field trip of the year. You can read about that on my other blog. On Friday afternoon I picked up Dylon, Houston, Laeton, Ramsey, and Sydny for a sleep over at my house. We played outside all afternoon, and then Dave brought home some pizzas. We had a great time with all 5 kids. We had planned to go swimming at Grandpa's house on Saturday morning for Clark's 2nd birthday, but the weather rained us out.

After church on Sunday, Dave and I went to Lowe's in Enterprise. We picked out our front door, and tried to decide on an exterior color for our house. That man of mine is so opinionated! Dave likes gray, and I like tan. We both like the mossy green, but are afraid that we would get tired of it. We decided to bring home some samples and see what the family thinks.

While the paint choices are still up in the air, we did come home with a lovely mailbox. We are hoping to get our new address this week since Dave's driver's license expires next Monday. We are still looking for a builder, and praying that God will lead us to the right person for the job.

Jessa will be one year old this week! We will celebrate this Saturday at the river.
Isn't she the most beautiful baby?

I don't have it in me to do a wedding post right now, but I liked some of the ideas on these inspiration boards from Snippet & Ink.


Thank goodness football season starts this week!
WAR EAGLE!

  1. Being off work today is nice. We just have to worry about our men out there working in it. I love your mailbox. Good luck on picking a color for the house. I think I went through 8 samples just of grey :-)

  2. How nice to have a day off! We never have a day off unless the power is out. I know you are having fun making decisions on your new house. It's fun and exciting!

  3. I would love to see pictures of your home!! I hope that you are having a great school year. Bless my 4th graders' hearts. I met them on August 11th and left them August 15th. They will have to get to know me all over again when I return in November. (Yes, I am excited about football season....but we're are BAMA fans so I won't say that "ugly" word that you put at the end of your blog)!! :) If we didn't have rivals it wouldn't be nearly as fun!!
