New Addition To The Family!

Deonna and Rene Guignard got married Tuesday November 18, 2008.

They were married by a Notary Public on Pensacola beach in Florida. They were married barefoot on the white sandy beach at 3 pm.

We are so happy for them, and are excited to have Rene as part of the family.

You Might Want to Send Russ Sympathy Cards

Another funny - this time on me... the kids and I were laughing SO HARD, and Russ just had a little chuckle every now and then. I asked him why he wasn't laughing, and he said, "I LIVED through it." Then the laughter came.

Really, Russ is such a sweetie. Not many men could live with someone as challenged as I am. I think the part he laughed the most about was the memory of my "wheat cake" that I fed Dad S.... I really love him for enduring that...

So anyway, here's the link: My Love Affair with the Burn Gods

Love ya'll. Hope it gives you a good laugh on this Monday Morning! :)

Our Home

Hey everyone...I know this is a little bit later than planned but I'm going to post the pictures of our house. They are mostly before we moved in and I will post more as we get rooms done. The house is 3 bedroom 2 bath and it's 1800 sq feet, just to give you all an idea. Just ignore any messes that you may see in the backgrounds....it's still a work in progress! I love you guys!

This is our living room....on the far right where you see the glass is the front door, and the far left is the master bedroom...the one next to it is our dining room and the new light that we hung...



This was the kitchen before...ugly huh?........... and this is the kitchen in progress, but you get the idea...



The master bathtub....and shower, and you can see into the master closet. You can get to the master closet from the small hallway or from the master bathroom...it's a huge walk-in.



This is the master bedroom...dad's hanging our new ceiling fan...that's a huge built in entertainment center in the corner of our room.



This is my mantle with my Thanksgiving decorations....I don't have a ton, but oh well! I forgot to take a picture of my Halloween stuff. There was a lot more than there is now...I still love it.



This is going to be our "Photo wall" it's the wall in the dining room...I started hanging stuff tonight because I got bored!



Ok, so I'm sorry about the photo overload but I'm just trying to give all of you who haven't seen my house an idea of what it looks like... I hope you enjoy and like I said I will add more once the house is cleaned up a bit :) and once the kitchen is finished...it's going to have a cherry border in it too, if you can picture it. I love all of you guys and I miss you all! Enjoy my pictures!

Adoption - Finally!

I emailed everyone I have email addys for, but just in case, I thought I'd let you know that the adoption went through! I'm so excited... Russ thinks I'm nuts but the burden off my shoulders is amazing. :)

We're having a party - I put some details on my blog:

Welcome to the Party!

love ya!
