She's GRADUATING!

18 years ago a beautiful baby girl entered our lives and changed our world. This amazing young woman I am proud to call daughter is GRADUATING high school! Today we went out about town to take her Senior pictures. It was a rather humid and mildly windy day, but we had fun! Here are a few of my favorites!

20 years ago

Twenty years ago today I walked down the aisle of a little church in Greenville, TX on the arm of my brother. Waiting at the end were my father, my friends, and the man of my dreams. My daddy performed our ceremony and other family and friends joined us in our celebration. We went to Six Flags for our honeymoon, then locked ourselves in our apartment for about a week. Good memories!!

I am looking forward to the next 20+ years with great anticipation as I know there are more grand adventures ahead!....and he is still the man of my dreams!

We have a Genius!

Sunday we went out to a friend's house to fellowship and had a wonderful time! While there we were introduced to several litters of kittens. We were encouraged to take one to hand raise since the other kitten had died. So we did! Jazmine, or Jazzy, is probably about 12 days old and looks very much like the other kitten but definitely has her own personality. She did have time with her momma so she will not get sick so easily. This morning we have been laughing. Kerrie needed to blow her nose and Jazzy was sitting in her lap. When she did Jazzy hissed at her....TWICE!! So funny! Then Kerrie got her school out and Jazzy decided to help.
"Hmmmmm.....I think the answer might be......"

Skizzo seems to like this kitten better. She has her eyes open and crawls to her crate door where he gets nose to nose with her and tries to paw at her to play. His paws are too big to fit through the grate though. It's sweet anyway! Tabby our cranky older cat is not at all appreciative of our new family member....but then again she's not appreciative of anything that doesn't center around her.
