Our Fourth of July

We had a busy Fourth of July weekend. We started out the day Saturday at the Clinton Library. They had a Moon to Mars exhibit the kids wanted to go to. Afterward, we walked around in the RiverMarket for awhile and took the kids to the Arkansas Game and Fish Museum. From there we headed straight to Nana and Papa's for a cookout and then we rounded out the weekend last night at our friend's house with a huge fireworks display. We had a great time....but I am TIRED! We slept in this morning until almost 10:00! I've got to say it was nice!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Hunter & Ty in front of the Library

Hunter thought he was way to big to pose for this picture, but I made him do it anyway! Needless to say, he was not happy with me!

Ty the Buffalo at the Game and Fish Museum

What's this??? Clay's actually smiling!!!

My New Running Buddy

Yep, you heard me right....running. Go ahead and laugh, it's ok. I laughed too the first time Clay asked me to go running with him. I've always wanted to run, but didn't think I could do it. We've been running about 1 mile a night. Needless to say, I'm about to die by the time we get done. Hopefully by the end of the summer I'll be up to about 3 miles!:)

Home Sweet Home

Well, we finally got moved. It's not much....but it will do for now. We moved all weekend long and finally got everything situated last night. Just in time for me to do a little studying for my finals tomorrow. That's right, after tomorrow, I am done with school for the summer. Time to go to the POOL!!!

Preoccupied

We're still here...I've just been so preoccupied with other things lately, I haven't even had time to think about blogging. We are FINALLY moving this weekend!!! YAY!!! Along with all of the packing I've been doing, I've also been writing papers, creating presentations, and trying to study for my finals next week. I am so ready for the next week to be over with! I have lots of posts to catch up on, so once everything has calmed down, I'll get them all posted.
Hope everyone has a great weekend! (and if you're bored, you can come help us move!:) )

Happy Father's Day to the best Daddy in the world!

Life as Usual

Well, we're slowly getting back into somewhat of a routine. We're going on our third week of summer break and the boys are having a great summer so far! Since I'm in school during the day, I have a young lady from our church that comes and watches the boys everyday for me. I did NOT want to put the boys in daycare, so this was the perfect solution. They can sleep as late as they want and play with all of their friends in the nieghborhood.

Speaking of neighborhoods, we will soon have a new one. Things are still on track for us to close on our house at the end of the month. Needless to say I have been a busy little bee trying to get everything packed. I spent all weekend cleaning out closets and cabinets in the kitchen. What a job!!!! While packing I realized we were in desperate need of a yard sale. I am not taking a bunch of things with me I don't need. So...if you're in the area this coming Saturday, we will be having a huge yardsale!

Other than that, nothing really exciting going on in our lives right now. I feel like I've been so busy lately, I haven't even had time to take any picutres to share with you guys. I will share one picture that Clay took of me Friday afternoon. Friday (during all the storms) I went to the salon to have my hair high-lighted. That's it...just high-lighted....well, two hours later I come out with EIGHT INCHES less hair!!! I don't know what got into me...just needed a change I guess! I wasn't sure I liked it at first, but I ~love~ it now!

I'll leave you guys with a quote from Ty. As he came into the kitchen and saw Clay and I kiss, he said, "Ewwww....get a room!"

Hope you guys have a great week!

I have what!?!?!?

Last week I started feeling really bad. Like worse than I have ever felt before. I went to the doctor and she said I had a UTI. Ok...I can deal with that. She gave me a prescription and I went home. Over the weekend it got worse. I thought I was going to DIE. I called the doctor back yesterday and told her what was going on and she told me I had Shingles! Shingles??? That's what older people get. Not 29 year olds. She said it is usually brought on by stress. Ah-ha! Anyone who knows me, knows I stress. About E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G. I mean why would I be stressed? We just sold our house, we are trying to find a new place to live, the one place we did find won't be available until 1 week after we are supposed to move out of our house, I have to try to find time to start packing in the midst of me returning to school, the week we have to move is the week I have my finals....and on and on. I know as God-fearing Christians we are not to worry and we should take faith in God that he will take care of us.

Phillipians 4: 6

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

I know everything will work out the way it is supposed to. I am already starting to feel a little better due to the medicine the doctor prescribed me. We may get to stay in our house for a week after we close so we can move straight into the other house we found. And I have faith that everything will work out with school and my finals.
