Let's All Crash...

It's Thursday night and it has been a long week for all of us. Everyone has crashed and I'm enjoying a little piece and quiet before I join them. Our lives have gone from nothing to do - to not having a minute of time. How does life change so quickly? With the ever changing times, it is good to know that in today's technology world we now have the capabilities to document everything. So tonight, I want to remember all my sleeping angels. How peaceful right now is. Who could ask for more?

Friends, Food and Fun



This past weekend was full of friends, food and fun!

On Friday a long-time friend of mine came into town. M'Leah Taylor and I met while our husbands were in medical school and the rest is history. Even though the past five years we've been in different parts of the country - her in Temple, TX and I in St. Louis - we've managed to stay in touch. Seeing her was fabulous. M'leah is one of those awesome friends who no matter how long it's been it's like we saw each other yesterday. And catching up while eating sushi at In the Raw was perfect. She is an awesome person and mom and I'm excited to get to know her better again.


On Saturday we headed up to the lake to see some of Jeremy's college buddies - his turn to do some catching up. Times have changed and the lake just isn't what it used to be - kids added to the mix. But we made do and still managed to soak in the lake atmosphere and catch some rays. Seeing each other with careers and children makes you step back and see life has changed, and fortunately for the better. Kendyll enjoyed her first lake experience. She swam, but mostly ate and snacked. Her favorite part was driving the boat. Andrew rode the jet ski and swam like he was one of the fish. After a long day on the lake, you can image they both crashed and gave mom and dad adult time to have a few drinks and laughs. Good times and great memories.
What a great weekend!

Will It Ever Happen?


My house! Everyone told us from the beginning "no one ever has a good building experience." The nieve couple Jeremy and I are said to ourselves, it won't happen to us. Wrong! We go out and visit this awesome site every evening and it has become in my mind something that is untouchable. Will it ever happen? Will we ever move in and have a home of our own? I tell AJ everyday "we will be here soon," "all your stored toys in St. Louis will be here soon!" But sadly I am lying to him and to myself - I'm not sure when soon will be. So as of today this untouchable house is just a lonely house on a hill. Tomorrow is a new day full of blessings and hope that this beautiful empty house will soon be home sweet home!
