some favorite vacation pictures from Pigeon Forge, TN and Destin, FL

back home...

After driving over 2600 miles in the car, we are back home from the 2 week vacation. I am very glad to not be driving anywhere else, but I sure do wish I was still at the beach! I will post pics later!

Precious Memories

We have shared many special times with Granny and made so many precious memories. We will miss her funny stories, her outgoing spirit, and her unconditional love. We are truly thankful for the time that God did give us with Granny and that she lived to see so much. We love you...

A wonderful birthday!

Although I had to go to work on my birthday I came home to many birthday surprises from Mark and Brynn that made it really special. They went and got red roses, milky way candy bars, cd's, and the big surprise was a hammock that I was really wanting! After that Mark took me on a special fishing trip out at Lake Texoma and then to dinner at The Island at Highport. It's just hard to believe that I am now 26...that is soooo close to 30...dern I'm old.

Paper Clip Fashion

Last night I introduced Lindsey to the paper clip earring. The paper clip earring was one of the coolest things to hit Piner Middle School in the 90's - it allowed any boy who wanted to be "cool" to have an earring that could be taken off before your parents saw it.



Lindsey then proceeded to introduce me to Gunter's paper clip fashion craze - the paper clip retainer. It was very believable...I thought Lindsey had put her retainer in for the afternoon.



So...we need your help. Please answer the poll question to the right and help us decide which paper clip accessory is really the coolest. Or maybe there is something even cooler than the paper clip earring or the paper clip retainer that we haven't even heard about. Who would have ever thought that a simple paper clip could be so useful!
