BIG Week!

We have had a big week. Last Thursday, I got a new job teaching preschool at Rich Pond Elementary. I loved my school in Barren County and I will miss everyone there so much, but I feel so blessed that the Lord has given me the opportunity to work closer to home, with the raging gas prices we are dealing with. I know everything happens for a reason, and I think this is going to be a good change for us. Also, this weekend we FINALLY moved into our new house. We had a lot of help moving in. Jessica really helped me get organized, especially in the kitchen. Here is a picture of the house, don't you love the front yard? Actually we have some landscaping now, and maybe we will have grass before long. I am just glad to finally be in it. This is where we plan on raising our family, and hopefully we will not be going anywhere else for a very long time.

Elizabeth's Wedding

My younger sister, Elizabeth, got married in Elizabethtown on July 12th. I was an outdoor wedding at an historic home. It was very pretty, but also VERY hot. Here are a few pictures. (My friend Tanya was the photographer). The dress she is wearing was actually my mom's wedding dress. It had sleeves in it, but they were in bad shape after 25 years so they had them taken out, but other than that it is just the same. And I know you can't see them, but she is also wearing pearl earrings that Mom, and then I, wore on our wedding day. In the group shot, the guy on the end with the dred locks is my younger brother. If you have never met him, he is a really fun and incredible person, despite what he chooses to do with his hair.

Happy 4th of July!

Our 4th of July was very busy! Friday we went to Adam's mom's in Indiana and visited with his whole family. That was nice because we don't see them that often. And Emmalee had a blast swimming and playing with her cousins. Saturday we visited with my family and had a big cookout and watched fireworks. Sunday was the rehersal dinner for my sister's wedding. This weekend is sure to be busy with Elizabeth's wedding and (hopefully) starting to move into the new house.
