Quick Update!

Okay, so yesterday I was determined to have pictures, a slide show and all kinds of fun stuff to let everyone know what we've been up to the past two weeks!!! Well, it didn't quite work out like I thought!....

So, first of all, I apologize for leaving everyone hanging with the hornet situation--it has been taken care of!!!! We called the bug guy and he came with a power sprayer and sprayed 'em back to where they came from!!!.....

Secondly, we traveled in the last two weeks. My great grandfather passed away, and I was able to attend the visitation and funeral and see lots of family I haven't seen in years! He had been pretty sick, so it was somewhat expected. It was really a celebration of his life! The funeral and visitation both--many people loved and respected my great grandfather--he was a good man! After that, we headed to the St. Louis area for a fun week of visiting family!! We spent time with Nana and Pappy, the Chases--Uncle Brian, Aunt Erin and family and also Aunt Amy, Blake, Granny and Papa Tom came to see us at Uncle Brian's! Then we also got to stay a few days at Grandpa's house!!! After all of that, the much anticipated wedding--Uncle Justin and Aunt Crystal--took place! Shane was one of the best men, I sang with my dear friend, Sarah, and Zion & Paige were the ring bearer and flower girl!!! It was such a beautiful wedding, and we had SO much fun celebrating with Justin and Crystal! We have been talking about dancing at Uncle J's wedding for a while now, and boy did we dance!!!! I have some good pics and even a video--COMING SOON!!!......

Prior to the wedding, Shane was able to spend about 4 days at a monastery for a spiritual retreat. He had a wonderful time and came back refreshed!!! We are so thankful the Lord provided the opportunity for him to take this time to get renewed! He actually left a day early and surprised us--that was fun!!!!!

So, there's a pictureless update--SORRY!!!! I wanted to at least let everyone know how things have been.... Will post pics as soon as I have a chance!! I will also be checking everyone else's blogs SOON as well!!!! Traveling was busier than I even anticipated, and I didn't have a chance to keep up on anything!..... Love to everyone and looking forward to getting back on track!!!!

I'm so glad your hornets got taken care of. That could have been really bad! I also can't wait to see pictures from your trip!

I also can't wait to see your pictures/video!

Jen Lowrey just told me a cute story about Zion trying to teach his Sunday School class this past Sunday the Alvin and the Chipmunks song. How sweet is that?? She said he used the tiny chipmunk voice and everything and was like, "Let's Rock Out!" I love it!

I'm so sorry to hear about your Grandfather. I had no idea. Man did you ever have a lot going on. Here I unloaded on you when I saw you at your Dad's and you were the one who needed a shoulder to cry on. I hope you know that I am always here for you when you need to talk! I love you SO much and your friendship means the world to me.
