home sweet home?? Hopefully!!!

we are supposed to be closing on a house (God willing) mid October...
just in time for a Halloween house warming party :)
Here are some pictures, SAY A PRAYER THAT THIS ALL WORKS OUT, IT HAS BEEN A STRESSFUL PROCESS AND NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE ARE SOOOOO READY TO MOVE OUT OF CRIME VILLAGE!



ps
my dad is going to put in a fence for the dogs, we are all very excited about this, especially Sam and D!

summer lovin

our summer has been VERY busy, lots of fun things going on! now that wedding season will be wrapping up soon, I'm not sure i will know what to do with my spare time! I love weddings and especially when someone we are very close to gets married. it seems like we have been headed somewhere- to see someone get married- all summer long.

First off, Jessica and Nathan got married. we took a trip to Arkansas to watch them walk down he aisle. Nathan and Josh played football together at UCA and during that time Jessica and i became close due to a bible study we attended together. They are such great friends and we miss them a lot. she was a beautiful bride!!!

Second, My high school/college friend, Stephanie married a Josh. their wedding was amazing. it was so much fun! lots of dancing, drinks and tons of food. Steph and i sort of got separated for a while after we moved to Arkansas, but have reconnected and talk weekly now. i missed her a lot. it was so nice being able to watch her get married and seeing how happy she is. i think we have a really special friendship and have a feeling we will be old and gray together.

Third, well- my high school friend Lindsay is getting married this weekend, so i will post later about that! I'm sure it will be great.

and the fourth and so fabulous, my sister. my best friend. Kelly. her and her husband renewed their wedding vows Sept 5 after 10 years of marriage! it was a complete surprise for her and she looked beautiful! I am so proud of her and Wes- they have raised the most amazing kids and still love each other with a fierceness that i know will never end. When i looked at them, i know that is what marriage is all about. when josh and i get to 10 years- i hope we are just as happy as they are!

it's that time of year...

I am some kinda ready for....

FOOTBALL SEASON!


Now, we all know that i will be pulling for AUBURN and josh (unfortunately) will be pulling for lsu. We both will be rooting for UCA, of course. UCA is usually the only thing we agree on this time of year. but, i LOVE this time of year.

cold weather. fall. junk food. traveling. tv. parties. hate e mail/phone calls (usually only from melissa, kelly, my cousins, the johnsons). beer. tailgating. cooking out.

you get my drift.

i am SO ready!
We really hope to attend some AU games this year with Carin and Stephen. They are some friends we have met. Josh and Stephen are in nursing school together and they are basically bffs now. Even their teachers find it a little odd at the amount of time they send together.
BUT! Carin and Stephen are both AU graduates. and they believe in Auburn and love it, just like me :)
so, anyways - here are some predictions on what this year might look like.
happy football season and good luck! WAR EAGLE!
