Congratulations to Josh & Charity

Congratulations to Josh and Charity on their engagement! This post is long overdue but we are so happy that Charity is going to be part of the family soon. Out at Red Lobster with them, one of our favorite restaurants. I can just about taste those cheddar biscuits. Yum!

We were glad to have Craig, Tonya, Chris, Nancy, and the kids come down to celebrate Josh's graduation in May. These are pictures from the cookout at Oak Hollow Lake.

Caleb happy as long as he has a ball in his hands.

Josh receiving his diploma. Many thanks to Sis. Wetherald for helping him with his school work.

Congratulations to Brenda!

Congratulations to Brenda my sister-in-lawon earning her Master's degree from Liberty University! Jeff, Camen, and Kendall's parents came in Friday evening. On Saturday morning we all drove from NC to Virginia for the graduation. We met up with Dana, Phil, and Aaron at the stadium.

Chuck Norris gave the commencement address.

Afterwards we headed to Cracker Barrel for a delicious meal.

Spring time is here!

I guess it is time for a little update. We have just been working and enjoying spring. I love this season!This is something new we tried Monday evening. Lamb (from Costco - love that store) that we grilled. I was surprised by how tender it was. Very yummy! I was going through some stuff last week and I had to laugh when I pulled this out. This was done at one of the booths at GBS Homecoming 2002.

We had a bridal shower at work a couple weeks ago for a nurse I work with. Congrats to Kim- she is getting married in a few days.

Trip to Gatlinburg

This past week we went back to the place where we had our honeymoon 4 years ago. Love this view of the mountains as you get closer to Gatlinburg.

This is the cabin where we stayed. On the bottom floor was an indoor pool complete with a little waterfall.
More pictures of the inside of the cabin.

One of the places we went to in Gatlinburg was the Hollywood Wax Museum. We had fun "posing" with the celebrities. :)

Snow!!!

We finally got a small taste of winter today. It snowed a little and then the sleet came. Kendall had to work in it, but I had the day off. :) It is days like this that I appreciate the convienence of heat.

Christmas with family

This year we hosted Christmas with my side of the family at our house in North Carolina. Craig, Tonya, Chris, Nancy, and the kids came from Cincinnati to spend it with us. It went by way too fast, but we had lots of fun. Two! Two! Three! Three! Anyone who has ever played Pit knows what a fast paced, spoon-grabbing blast it is with family. :)
Tearing into our presents!

I'm glad there were some toys to keep the guys entertained. :) Hope each of you had a wonderful Christmas!

Enjoying the weather

We are enjoying the beautiful weather we are having here in NC. I think we may have even hit 80 today. Kendall finished raking all of our leaves (thanks to the trees that surround our property). I helped for maybe 5 minutes. :) This is one week I'm glad I'm working nights so I can be outside during the day.
