Hi....I am still alive & well. Just been soo super busy. I hope to get caught up soon & share some images with you. Maybe within the next week or so.

Hayden

Hayden, Jayde & Josh created paper airplanes in the house. Once they were made they began to play with them IN the house. So we took the fun outside...

Fishing trip...

Well, it started off sprinkling on us & being as cloudy as could be...but turned off sunny & HOT! The trip before to this lake we saw a racoon, otter, crane, kingfisher, ducks, turtles & a few fish. So I just had to bring my camera along for this trip (even though I was terrified it was going to fall in the water)! But - we only saw the ducks & turtles on this trip and even fewer fish!!!

Revival...

We had revival the first of this month...the kids played on some "air rides" and a youth band known as "4:12" led some worship.

Another walk in the park...

I just went along for the walk with my camera while Josh & Dad played "disc-golf" at Yellow Creek Park. I know the composition isn't that great. I didn't even get a good shot of Josh throwing his disc's. As you can tell my "short" self had a hard time keeping up!

Happy Anniversary!

To my dear husband,
Thank you for the 7 years together & the last 3 of which we have been married! I love you so much. You are such a wonderful provider, caregiver, sweetheart, Christian, husband, & helpmate, among so many other things ;o) . You love me unconditionally! Thank you for being my shoulder to cry on, the hand on my back encouraging me, and helping me carry on when I feel weak. You are my husband. You share your life with me. You hold me accountable. You love me. Thank you for being the best husband God could've ever picked out for me! You fit me perfectly! Like two peas in a pod...we just go together. I love you baby! Happy Anniversary.

Trout Fishin'....

More fun times! Trout fishing at Rough River...my dad, the water, and the lovely snake we found that later made his home in the undercarriage of Roy's van (another guy that went with us). Fun Fun!

Oh the places we go....

Josh and I love to travel - when we get the chance, or sometimes we have to make the chance! I am sure everyone understands that to some degree. Some more severe than others! =o) Anyway, this was a really neat spot my Dad suggested we go to. We took a day & traveled to Rough River & back. This place was sort of on the way, or "a" way to get to Rough River. Really neat! They are refurbishing the entire mill. I loved it & hope you do to! Green Farm Bed & Breakfast!

More Pictures from Green Farm...

Make a wish...

A neat photo opportunity I couldn't pass up! Although they look a little dark on here - I may edit them later. Thanks for looking!

Summer fun...

We were just messing around the other day & this is what I got. I love the reflection of me & the sunset in the bubble! Lots of fun!!!! I wish it was only one bubble but there are 2 so it isn't as clear as it could be - but maybe that is why you can actually see me because that second bubble makes it more opaque. Thanks for looking....

New Update...

Josh had his eye surgery today & all went well. We are staying all night here in Bowling Green & have a post-op appointment at 9:15 AM tomorrow morning. Just thought I would share.

Update!

Well, I thought I would give everyone an update on our lives....Josh pulled some ligaments in his right knee last night. He has a leg support he has to wear & is taking some pain & swelling "relievers". He goes back to the Occupational Therapist on Friday. He has Lasik surgery tomorrow (Thursday) in Bowling Green. We will have to stay all night because he has a post-op exam on Friday AM. Revival starts tonight at Mission Vision: Wednesday - Sunday. So My schedule is jam packed for the next few days. Then I need to paint the rest of my house all day Monday and probably Tuesday night. Then I will get some rest! We are trying to sell our house - so pray for us in that area, too! Thanks to everyone in advance!

I've Been Tagged!

Yikes! I was tagged (by Joanne)- but have no one else to tag! Oh well - I will be it forever!

The 5 reasons I blog:

1.) I hardly ever see the people outside of my daily routine & this is a way for everyone to keep up to date with our life happenings. I have been so super busy that they haven't even been able to do that.

2.) I love photography & this lets me have a place to post my photos for others to see my progress & how things are changing for us...on a more personal level than the forums (that I have also put on hold).

3.) Of the few minutes I see Josh each week - we try to make the most of them. We like to travel around...this gives me the opportunity to take you along.

4.) I love to take the time to look at other peoples blogs to keep updated & post comments on their blogs & they in turn post comments on mine - making it almost like a constant everyday pen pal...keeping in touch.

5.) Generic answer - but still very true: It's fun!

Cart Wheel!

We took the youth group up to the park in Whitesville...and Taylor (wearing the red shirt) taught Josh how to do a Cart wheel (funny name when it is spelled out). So here is my goofy husband! This was in April and the sun was setting, as you can tell by the long shadows - so the sun was casting a pretty orange glow on us.

Weird things...

I thought I would share this - just kinda different. This was shot through a screened in porch - so it looks kinda out of focus. Thanks for looking!

Thank you...

Memorial Day - the time to remember those who have served, died and now serve for our country and also the kick off of summer to some. I wish I could personally thank all of those who have served and are serving. THANK YOU! God Bless the USA!

Spring/Summer Fun!

While I was working on creating a new flower bed, Josh and his cousin Jake hooked the sprinkler up & had some pre-summer fun. (Although it was in the 80's - so it felt like summer!)
Josh in orange, Jake in dark green.

I'mmmm Baaaaccckkkk!

Well - it has been over a month now since I have posted! Sorry. I truely wish life wasn't so busy. I have cut out all extra "stuff" that I love to do in order to get everything done that needs to be done. I still have some painting to do on the house - but other than that, things are starting to slow down. After this next week I will hopefull have things under control. Josh is having Lasik done on Thursday in Bowling Green. We will have to stay overnight for that. And the Revival is this week at church, starting Wednesday - Sunday. Come join us if you get the chance. Mission Vision Baptist Church in Whitesville, KY. We have been busy trying to squeeze in some "fun time" in order to keep us sane & not to mention we hardly ever see each other! I will post all of these "events" as I can so you can be brought up to date! Enjoy.

He Has Risen!!!!

Happy late Easter! These past few days have been pretty crazy. To reflect on Christ's death & ressurection is something we should do everyday....but through this "holiday" we remember it even more so. Praise the Lord! He died for MY sins....and yours too! =o) This picture was Sunday afternoon. We were leaving one "family get together"(of the 2 that we could make it to) and heading home. I asked Josh to stop & let me "catch" that shot....or maybe it was more of a demand, anyway - he understands my passion & let me out. What a beautiful creation God has given us! Isn't this just beautiful??? The sky had sun rays all afternoon- but not like this! He was shining down on us!!! I know they are kinda dark for foreground purposes - but I was changing my settings so I could get a more dramatic feel for the rays coming through the clouds because otherwise they washed out against the clouds...this way you could see them ALL! Look at the second picture - on the sides where the sun is just bursting through the clouds!

Sunday Stroll....

Josh and I went to Panther Creek park for a stroll on Sunday afternoon. We had the youth over to the house that day & had just taken them all home. So - we took Halo to the park for some "quiet time".

Messing Around!!

These are of some girls in our Youth Group! They came over to the house after church on Sunday to "hang out". We ate lunch & then we went to the park to play!!! The boys played football & the girls played Photography!

My Guinea Pig!

Jayde did a great job of "posing" for me. She was just like a little model....so fun! Here are a couple. The sun was in & out so it was kinda hard to set the settings every few seconds, thank goodness for Photoshop!

DAY OFF!!!

Josh and I went to the Zoo in Louisville for our day off on Monday. We had a great time! I just wanted to share some of the pictures!
