Today Jim, Tim and Kevin put in our new kitchen floors. They are beautiful. I am so proud to have them in our home. It makes me feel like I need to put flowers on the table and maybe a new stainless steel sink and how ’bout a new..
Nah..right now we are just sitting back and admiring God’s blessing.

I know these won’t mean much to anyone but our family …but to us..this was a lifetime in the making and this weekend meant the world.

This past Wednesday we had our very first family reunion with EVERYBODY. 18 people were here at our house, eating, laughing, and not sleeping very much. During the day we had 3 more here. That is a lot of people that we fed and fit into our house, 2 RV’s, 2 air mattresses, 3 bedrooms. I love how we sat and talked about old memories but how we made so many new ones.

Just In Time
My grandma and my great Aunt always had these chairs on the front porch or on the lawn. When there was an overflow of company they would be drug into the house. For our whole marriage I have wanted some so badly. Two days ago, as my husband was on his way out of town, and in a hurry, he ran across these chairs. He took time to stop and buy them for me. I can’t tell you how this makes me feel to have these chairs. Just in time for our family reunion this weekend. I am so happy!

For about 7 months we have planned this. My oldest daughter, Brannan, my oldest niece, Arianna, and myself. We have taken polls, looked at weather, prayed, look at flights..and it’s finally happening. As of tonight the first of 18 people will be here in our home for a family reunion. This is the first time that we will all be together, kids, grandkids, 4 great grandkids and my mom. We are gonna laugh and eat and laugh some more. I can’t wait! There is lots to be done today..but tonight it begins. My oldest niece and her family will be here. Tomorrow night my oldest daughter and her family will be here. On Friday everyone else gets here, my brother, my mom, my sister and her family. During Sat. and Sun. we have 3 more coming just for the day hours. So….look for pictures on here…lots of pictures. This is gonna be so fun..or in the words of my daughter..this is gonna be epic!
